The whale bought 15.28 trillion SHIB with 10 ETH on August 7 of 2022. They then made 1,967 ETH by selling and buying SHIB on Uniswap.

The person then started trading SHIB on CEX when the token was listed on exchanges like Binance and Crypto.com. This whale makes it a priority to buy SHIB when the price of the meme coin is low and to sell it when the price is high. This person also still holds about 3,33 trillion SHIB.

Lookonchain concluded the post by stating that it could be a good idea to keep an eye on this whale and even added that people can short SHIB the next time the whale transfers a large amount for SHIB.
