Why Are They Moving? Both DOGE and SHIB were trading in the green along with major coins as the global cryptocurrency market cap rose 2.45% to $2.94 trillion at press time.
The two largest cryptocurrencies by market cap, Bitcoin and Ethereum, hit respective all-time highs on Monday as the Bitcoin network nears a major upgrade dubbed “Taproot.”
Exchange reserves of BTC continue to deplete to multi-year lows as outflows accelerate, noted Glassnode in a note earlier. A reduction in exchange reserves reduces the selling pressure.
SHIB was mentioned in 6,521 tweets and was the third most mentioned coin on Twitter. DOGE was mentioned in 2,781 tweets and was placed on the sixth spot on the Cointrendz “Top 10 mentions” list.
The highest Twitter activity was in Bitcoin and Ethereum, which were mentioned in 13,013 and 6,974 tweets respectively, as per Cointrendz data.
A whale moved 20 trillion SHIB from a Crypto.com wallet to an external wallet. At transaction time the tokens were valued at $1.143 billion, as per a report from Monday.
