An overview of the whale wallet reveals that Shiba Inu is Gimli's top holding with the address holding a total of 863 billion SHIB tokens.

After SHIB, Gimli holds 33 trillion Samoyedcoin SAMO/USD tokens worth $28 million. SAMO is another Dogecoin DOGE/USD-inspired “dog meme” token built on the Solana SOL/USD blockchain.

Ethereum ETH/USD is Gimli’s third-largest holding with the whale holding a total of 3,781 ETH worth $18 million.

The whale also holds relatively smaller amounts of Decentraland MANA/USD, Fantom FTM/USD, Polygon MATIC/USD, and Chainlink LINK/USD.

Despite a considerable amount of whale activity across the blockchain in the last few days, Shiba Inu has not recovered from its bearish trend.

The token was down more than 7.47% in the last 24 hours, trading at $0.0005076 at the time of publication Wednesday. In the last seven days, Shiba Inu has lost more than 20.22% of its value.
