Lookonchain noted that when the whale transferred a large volume of SHIB to Crypto.com in mid-December 2022, the price of SHIB dropped by 7%. The whale had transferred 200 billion SHIB worth $1.67 million to the Singapore-based exchange and within five hours of the transaction, the price had dropped significantly.
