This surge positions the meme coin for its most impressive weekly close since October 2021, marking a remarkable 129% increase, according to CoinMarketCap data.
Analysts attribute SHIB’s price explosion to several key on-chain activities observed days before the rally.
One notable transaction involved a “smart trader” purchasing 75.91 billion SHIB from Binance, resulting in over $614,000 in profit.
MakerDAO co-founder Rune reportedly made his first SHIB purchase with 100,000 USDC, gaining approximately $47.1 billion.
Additionally, a wallet under the name of Upbit amassed 2.13 trillion SHIB, now valued at $42.3 million, further propelling the token’s ascent.
As the cryptocurrency community buzzes with excitement over SHIB’s unexpected rally, market observers are closely monitoring “Robinhood’s” next moves, speculating on the impact this significant acquisition could have on SHIB’s future market performance.
