He wonders if Shiba Inu will pump soon.

Why It Matters: Lookonchain data last week pointed to a dormant Shiba Inu whale that was inactive for 3.5 years. Terming him the super diamond trader, the trader had spent 2 Ethereum coins, worth $2,625, for purchasing 48.09 billion Shiba Inu coins in February 2021. The trader then sold it for 278.7 ETH, worth $1.1 million, at a gain of 419x.

IntoTheBlock data highlighted a more than 100% increase in transactions greater than $100,000 to 250 as of June 2 from 99 as of June 1. Meanwhile, 60% of Shiba Inu holders are currently making a profit, with 73% concentrated by large holders. Large transactions volume widened by 67%, while daily active addresses increased by 16.6%.
