On the widely-used trading platform Robinhood, Shiba Inu, frequently hailed as the “Dogecoin slayer,” has sparked a surge of enthusiasm within the cryptocurrency realm.
In a remarkable turn of events, Robinhood amassed a staggering 231 billion tokens within a mere 24 hours, boldly proclaiming its presence in the crypto arena.
This surge in popularity, according to crypto enthusiast Lola in her latest analysis, has catapulted SHIB to the coveted third position on Robinhood’s crypto podium, leaving established players like Litecoin and XRP trailing in its wake.
Robinhood Stuffs More SHIB To Its Cart
The Robinhood platform is not the sole arena where Shiba’s charm is proving irresistible. Based on insights from the crypto intelligence firm Arkham, in alignment with Lola’s observations, Robinhood’s SHIB holdings have expanded significantly to a jaw-dropping 36.684 trillion tokens, with an estimated value of approximately $350 million.

This data, coupled with information from IntoTheBlock, paints a vivid picture of a full-blown Shiba stampede that is reshaping the crypto landscape.
Whales, considered the apex predators in the vast ocean of cryptocurrencies, seem to have fallen head over flippers for the meme coin. IntoTheBlock’s metric tracking “Large Holders Netflow” has recorded an astonishing spike of 1,542%, indicating a substantial accumulation of SHIB by these influential market players.
Whale Appetite Soars
This whale enthusiasm extends to a remarkable 181% surge in “Large Holder Inflow” and a staggering 551% increase in the “Whale Activity Index.” The collective movement of these whales resembles a synchronized swimming routine of the crypto elite, all with their synchronized wallets pointed towards SHIB.

The Robinhood-Shiba rendezvous and the orchestrated dance of the whales suggest a potential boom for the canine coin. Yet, the sustainability of this upward climb remains uncertain.
Shiba Inu, with the backing of Robinhood, Arkham, and the formidable whales, is no longer merely chasing Dogecoin’s tail. It is emphatically staking its claim on the crypto landscape, capturing the attention of the entire world.
Will Shiba Inu continue its upward climb? Only time will reveal the answer. Nevertheless, in the unpredictable realm of crypto, this underdog has undeniably earned its place at the table and is unafraid to bare its teeth in the face of potential growth and challenges alike.
