On-chain data reveals divergent strategies among memecoin whales. The largest dogwifhat (WIF) holder is expanding their position. Other major players are liquidating holdings in Pepe (PEPE) and Shiba Inu (SHIB).
Blockchain analytics firm Lookonchain reports significant movements. The top WIF holder now possesses over 23 million tokens. They recently acquired an additional 2.3 million WIF.
"The largest holder of WIF spent 4.65 million USDC to buy 2.3 million WIF at $2.03 [June 25th]," Lookonchain stated. This investor now holds 23.39 million WIF, valued at $49.6 million. Their total profit on WIF stands at approximately $83 million.
WIF is currently trading at $2, down 3% in 24 hours.
Another WIF whale, previously facing losses, has re-entered the market. Lookonchain noted, "This whale, who lost $4.63 million on WIF, spent 3.77 million USDT to buy 2.06 million WIF back after the WIF price rose." Their average purchase price is $1.83.
In contrast, a major PEPE holder has reduced their position. Lookonchain reported, "PEPE whale capitulated and deposited 700 billion PEPE ($7.8 million) into Binance [June 24th]." The investor retains 800 billion PEPE, worth $9.23 million. Their total loss amounts to approximately $3.5 million.
PEPE is trading at $0.00001254, down 2% in 24 hours.
A SHIB whale has realized substantial profits. Lookonchain observed, "A whale deposited all 1.08 trillion SHIB ($18.4 million) to Binance [June 24th], making a profit of ~$8.3 million!"
Funny thing is, this investor had withdrawn the same amount of SHIB in late 2023, at a cost of around $10.07 million. Now he has got a much bigger game, though. The whale's unrealized profit now peaked at $29 million during SHIB's recent high.
