3 trillion SHIB leaves Coinbase Institutional
Prominent blockchain sleuth Whale Alert, which tracks down large cryptocurrency transactions, has spotted a mammoth amount of SHIB leaving the institutional branch of the largest cryptocurrency exchange in the U.S., Coinbase Institutional.
A total of 3,000,000,000,000 SHIB were transferred from a wallet belonging to that platform to an unknown blockchain address. This was the equivalent of $38,244,000 in fiat. In the comments, a heated discussion started as to the nature of this transaction.

Some X users believe that this could indicate either a strategic accumulation of meme coins by an institutional investor or it could be Coinbase Institutional reshuffling its own SHIB supplies, moving them between its own wallets.
