The Trader Who Turned $8K Into $5.7 Billion: The SHIBA Inu Wallet Mystery
Back in August 2020, someone made what looked like a throwaway bet — they dropped just $8,000 on Shiba Inu (SHIB), a meme coin hardly anyone knew about.
Fast forward a year, and boom — that wallet was worth a jaw-dropping $5.7 billion by October 2021.
They held over 70 trillion SHIB, about 13% of the total supply. The entire crypto space was shook. People were terrified that if this whale sold, it could nuke the whole SHIB market.
But here's the crazy part...
They didn’t dump.
Instead, small, quiet moves started showing up on-chain. Transfers split across tiny wallets, routed through DEXs and bridges — classic stealth mode. Analysts believe they were using custom-built algorithms to exit without shaking the price. Absolute ninja-level execution.
To this day, no one knows who it is.
Some say early dev.
Some say lucky retail trader who forgot.
But the precision? That smells like a pro.
The wallet is still being watched.
Still a mystery.
Still legendary.
