Top SHIB Holders Revealed: Burn Address Dominates, Whales Shift Billions, and Shibarium Upgrade Looms

/

An Arkham Intelligence report unveils the current top 10 holders of SHIB, with the burn SHIB address reigning supreme, holding a staggering 410,418,816,901,215.06 SHIB, valued at over $10 billion, comprising 41% of the total Shiba Inu supply.

Following closely behind is Crypto.com, holding 37,570,344,005,265.1 SHIB, equating to 3.76% of the supply and valued at $968,560,000.

However, this wallet’s online connectivity exposes it to potential security risks.

Third on the list is a Binance cold wallet, possessing 35,000,000,000,000 SHIB, totaling $902,300,000. Robinhood’s cold wallet trails shortly after, securing 31,753,251,930,362.97 SHIB, valued at $818,600,000.

The Shib team’s wallet rounds out the top 10, holding 6,397,162,264,908 SHIB, worth $164,920,000.

In a significant development, cryptocurrency whales have moved nearly 17 billion SHIB coins in recent hours, predominantly from Kraken to OKX.

Meanwhile, an upcoming “hard fork” for Shibarium, scheduled on May 2, promises faster block production and more predictable transaction fees.

Despite this, there’s no mention of the automated burn mechanism tested on the Puppynet testnet since January.

SHIB burns continue manually, primarily by the SHIB army, with occasional involvement from the developer team, funded by BONE collected from Shibarium transaction fees.

However, over the past 24 hours, the burn rate has seen a significant decline, with only 4,422,643 SHIB removed from circulation, marking an 88.96% decrease.

Dogecoin and Shiba Inu Show Varied Performance Amidst Upcoming Developments: Analysts Remain Bullish

/

In the realm of meme coins, Dogecoin (DOGE/USD) and Shiba Inu (SHIB/USD) have exhibited varied performance over the past month, yet analysts hold positive expectations for these tokens owing to imminent fundamental advancements.

Shiba Inu made headlines with its forthcoming Shibarium upgrade, slated for May 2, aimed at refining user experience and unlocking advanced functionalities within the network.

This enhancement seeks to streamline block processing times and ensure transaction fee predictability, thus rendering the platform more user-friendly and cost-effective.

Suggestions from community members, including trader Lola, advocate for integrating auto-burn features into this upgrade to bolster the token’s utility and appeal.

Concurrently, attention has been drawn to significant whale activity in the Dogecoin sphere, with two substantial transactions involving over 228 million DOGE each—totaling $68.7 million—transferred from an undisclosed wallet to Coinbase.

These wallet addresses, dormant since Coinbase’s initial Dogecoin listing in June 2021, indicate renewed activity, potentially hinting at forthcoming developments such as DOGE futures listing on Coinbase.

Institutional adoption of meme coins is gaining traction, as reflected in Shiba Inu’s inclusion in the Symbolic Capital Partners portfolio, representing 2% ($1.7 million) of their $86 million holdings, according to Arkham Intelligence data.

This trend suggests a burgeoning interest among institutional investors in meme coins, which could propel market valuation upward over time.

Cryptocurrency trader Kevin has analyzed Dogecoin’s historical performance, pinpointing potential price targets of 0.95 and 1.35 for the ongoing bull cycle.

However, he notes that reaching the current 1.618 Fibonacci extension at $3.80 may pose a challenge.

With transformative upgrades on the horizon for Shiba Inu and noteworthy whale activity indicating potential developments for Dogecoin, investors and traders maintain an optimistic outlook on the future trajectories of these meme coin frontrunners.

As of the latest update, DOGE was trading at $0.1489, marking a 21.4% decline over the past 30 days, while SHIB was trading at $0.00002523, reflecting an 18.4% decrease over the same period.

UK Authorities Granted Expanded Powers to Combat Crypto Crime, Including Asset Seizure Without Arrest

/

The United Kingdom’s National Crime Agency (NCA) and police have been granted expanded authority to deal with cryptocurrency used for illicit activities, including the power to “seize, freeze, and destroy” such digital assets.

Under the new regulations, law enforcement in the UK will no longer need to make an arrest prior to confiscating crypto holdings.

In a statement released by the UK Home Office, it was disclosed that police can now also seize materials such as passwords or memory sticks that could assist in ongoing investigations.

Additionally, UK law enforcement will have the capability to eliminate a crypto asset if reintroducing it into circulation is deemed harmful to the public interest.

Effective from April 26, the new laws authorize the police to transfer seized illicit cryptocurrency to wallets under their control, with provisions for crime victims to seek reimbursement from their crypto accounts.

UK Home Secretary James Cleverly emphasized the necessity of preventing criminals from profiting from illegal activities, citing the use of cryptocurrency fundraising by various groups as a key driver behind the introduction of these enhanced police powers.

Cleverly underscored the potential national security implications, citing instances where terrorist organizations like Daesh have been known to finance their operations through crypto transactions, highlighting the importance of enabling agencies to more effectively strip them of their assets.

The enactment of these regulations follows the passage of a crime bill by the UK parliament in 2023, which facilitated the swift seizure of cryptocurrency assets.

Privacy coins were singled out in the press release as being particularly detrimental to the public good.

While cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH) offer pseudo-anonymity through public ledgers, privacy coins afford users a higher degree of anonymity.

Despite the anonymity associated with wallet addresses, it was noted that once linked to an individual’s identity through procedures like Know Your Customer (KYC), all transactions conducted through that wallet can be traced and identified.

The announcement acknowledged that cryptocurrencies and nonfungible tokens (NFTs) have been exploited by drug dealers and fraudsters, leading to various investigations.

However, the new measures aim to curtail the exploitation of crypto for illicit purposes while fostering its legitimate potential to drive economic growth.

This concerted effort to regulate crypto is not unique to the UK, as evidenced by recent actions taken by law enforcement globally, including the arrest of the founders of Bitcoin mixer Samourai Wallet in the United States on charges of conspiracy to commit money laundering on April 24.

DOJ Opposes Dismissal Motion for Tornado Cash Co-founder Amid Crypto-Mixing Crackdown

//

The United States Department of Justice (DOJ) has opposed a motion seeking to dismiss conspiracy and money laundering charges against Roman Semenov, co-founder of Tornado Cash.

The DOJ contended that the defense’s motion introduced disputed facts best left for jury consideration, arguing it was premature for early-stage motions.

In response, DOJ prosecutors scrutinized the alleged crimes attributed to Semenov.

They contested the defense’s portrayal of Tornado Cash, highlighting its inception in 2019 as a crypto mixer service, comprising a website, user interface, smart contracts, and a network of “relayers.”

Accusing Roman Storm and co-developer Roman Semenov of conspiring to commit money laundering, operating an unlicensed money transmitter, and violating sanctions, U.S. authorities alleged that Tornado Cash facilitated funds laundering for entities like North Korea’s Lazarus Group.

While Storm pleaded not guilty to all charges in September 2023 and was released on a $2 million bond, Semenov clarified his role, stating he contributed to code design but disclaimed accountability for its usage.

Semenov’s legal team emphasized in their motion to dismiss that Tornado Cash doesn’t function as a custodial mixing service and doesn’t meet the criteria of a “financial institution.”

They argued Storm lacked control over the service to prevent its misuse by entities like Lazarus Group.

Prosecutors led by Damian Williams countered, holding Semenov accountable for operating the cryptocurrency mixer and accused him of enabling criminal anonymity.

They criticized Tornado Cash’s co-founders for failing to implement sufficient changes to exclude sanctioned addresses.

These developments coincide with the U.S. government’s heightened scrutiny of crypto-mixing services.

Recently, on April 24, the CEO and CTO of Samourai Wallet, another cryptocurrency mixer, were arrested and charged with conspiracy to commit money laundering and operating an unlicensed money transmitting business, each carrying a maximum sentence of 20 and five years, respectively.

Ki Young Ju, CEO of CryptoQuant, noted that crypto mixing services aren’t inherently criminal, responding to the arrests of Samourai Wallet’s founders.

Grow Your Income Stream with ARKMining’s Cloud Mining and Referral Program

/

The cryptocurrency market is experiencing a banner year in 2024! Digital assets across the board are surging, with established players like Bitcoin and Ethereum reaching new heights. But this boom isn’t just for early adopters. Even if you’re new to the crypto scene, there are ways to participate in this exciting market.

That’s where cloud mining comes in. Traditional mining methods require expensive hardware and technical expertise, creating a significant barrier for many investors. Cloud mining removes these hurdles. It allows you to leverage the power of remote computing facilities to mine cryptocurrency without upfront costs or technical knowledge. 

The future of cloud mining looks bright. As the popularity of cryptocurrency continues to grow, so too will the demand for accessible mining solutions. Cloud mining offers a convenient and potentially profitable way for individuals to participate in the crypto revolution.

In this blog post, we’ll explore how ARKMining can help you grow your income stream through its user-friendly platform and attractive referral program. 

What is Cloud Mining and How it Works?

Cloud mining simplifies cryptocurrency mining by using powerful computers owned by companies that rent out their processing power. Unlike traditional mining, which requires substantial investment in equipment and technical expertise, cloud mining enables individuals to participate remotely for a fee. This fee grants users access to the company’s computing resources, allowing them to engage in mining activities without needing physical hardware or extensive technical knowledge.

While cloud mining offers accessibility and convenience, it comes with considerations. Shared computing power may result in smaller profits than owning personal mining rigs, and users must contend with fees charged by cloud mining companies. Despite these factors, cloud mining democratizes the mining process, making it accessible to a broader audience. However, before investing, potential participants should conduct thorough research to understand the costs, benefits, and risks associated with cloud mining.

How to Being Cloud Mining: A Step-by-Step Guide

The cryptocurrency market’s growth has sparked interest in cloud mining, a way to participate without the hefty costs and technical complexities of traditional mining. 

But before you jump in, here’s a detailed roadmap to guide you through the process:

Step 1: Research and Choose a Cloud Mining Provider

Not all cloud mining companies are created equal. When considering a cloud mining provider, several factors demand attention. 

Firstly, opt for established companies with a solid reputation, verified through online reviews and industry forums. Transparency is key; ensure the provider clearly outlines their pricing structure, hashing power options, and profit estimates to foster trust. Understanding all associated fees, including rental costs, maintenance fees, and withdrawal fees, is essential; compare fees across different providers for informed decision-making. 

Additionally, scrutinize contract terms, including duration and termination clauses, as many cloud mining providers lock users into specific periods. Finally, exercise caution with profit projections, as unrealistic guarantees may not align with the volatile nature of cryptocurrency markets. Investors can navigate the cloud mining landscape more effectively by considering these factors meticulously.

ARKMining is one of the best platforms that meet all these criteria and is a go-to platform for beginners and experienced investors.

Advantages of ARKMining cloud mining platform:

  • Sign up and get a $50 bonus instantly.
  • High profitability levels and daily payouts.
  • There are no other services or administrative fees.
  • Users can generate more than 6 other currencies using the platform.
  • The company’s affiliate program allows you to refer friends and earn up to $2,000 in referral bonuses.
  • McAfee® security protection. Cloudflare® Security Protection.
  • Backed by a 100% uptime guarantee and excellent 24/7 technical support.

Step 2: Create an Account with Your Chosen Provider

Once you’ve selected a reputable cloud mining company, head over to their website and follow the instructions to create an account. This usually involves providing basic personal information and setting up a secure password. In the present case, ARKMining is the platform that does not ask you for too much. This means the sign-up process is straightforward. All you need is your email address, and you can start mining Bitcoins on the go.

Step 3: Choose a Cloud Mining Plan

Cloud mining providers offer various plans with different levels of hashing power. Hashing power essentially determines your potential mining output. Higher hashing power generally means a higher chance of earning cryptocurrency, but it also comes at a higher cost. Choose a plan that aligns with your budget and risk tolerance.

ARKMining also offers various mining contract options, such as $200, $600, and $1200 packages. Each has a unique ROI and a specific contract length.

Contract PriceContract TermsFixed ReturnDaily Rate
$50 1 Day$50 + $12%
$200 1 Day$200 + $52.50%
$600 3 Days$600 + $29.701.65%
$1,200 5 Days$1200 + $1081.80%
$3,600 6 Days$3600 + $4101.90%

ARKMining‘s Affiliate Programs

With the recent introduction of an affiliate program by ARKMining, users now have the opportunity to earn money by referring others to the platform. This program enables individuals to generate income without making any investments themselves. By inviting a specified number of active referrals, users can unlock a fixed bonus of up to $2,000. Moreover, there’s no limit to the number of referrals one can make, offering unlimited earning potential to participants in the program.

Final Words

Cloud mining offers an enticing opportunity for passive income in cryptocurrency. It involves renting computing power from companies that own large-scale mining setups, allowing you to participate in mining without the hassle of managing hardware and technical complexities. Before diving in, it’s crucial to thoroughly research different cloud mining providers, considering factors like reputation, transparency, fees, and contract terms. ARKMining is a stand-alone platform for quality services and a unique referral program, so consider it while beginning your cloud mining journey.

CBN Denies Alleged Crypto Directive; Confusion Ensues Amidst Regulatory Scrutiny

/

The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has refuted a report claiming it issued a directive mandating banks and financial institutions to identify individuals or entities involved in transactions with cryptocurrency exchanges, placing such accounts on Post No Debit (PND) instruction for six months.

A “Post No Debit” (PND) instruction restricts certain transactions on a customer’s account, prohibiting debit transactions, including withdrawals and payments.

Initially denying the report, the CBN later retracted its denial, confirming the allegations were false.

The bank asserted its commitment to identifying and penalizing those engaging in illegal buying and selling of Tether, particularly through peer-to-peer (P2P) methods.

The purported circular also indicated that regulated financial institutions involved in crypto or facilitating payments for crypto exchanges are prohibited.

However, this conflicts with a previous ban lifted in December 2023, allowing banks to facilitate transactions for crypto exchanges.

The CBN lifted the ban nearly two years after implementing a comprehensive ban on banks’ involvement with digital currencies.

READ MORE: SEC Lawyers Resign Following Court Rebuke for Misconduct in Crypto Case

In a statement, the CBN acknowledged the global surge in demand and adoption of crypto, deeming it unjustifiable to maintain stringent restrictions on financial institutions as imposed in 2021.

However, amidst the rapid devaluation of the naira and an inflation rate of 29.9%, the government shifted focus to platforms offering cryptocurrency services.

It disabled websites associated with crypto trading, known for setting informal valuations for the naira.

Binance faced significant scrutiny when the CBN expressed concerns over “suspicious financial transactions” through Binance Nigeria in 2023.

CBN head Olayemi Cardoso disclosed that $26 billion had flowed through Nigeria via Binance in 2023 from unidentified sources and users.

Further complicating matters, Binance executive Tigran Gambaryan, based in the United States, was detained in Nigeria, facing five charges related to money laundering following discussions with Nigerian officials regarding Binance’s regulatory compliance.

Another executive, Nadeem Anjarwalla, who participated in these discussions, subsequently escaped custody and was tracked down in Kenya, facing extradition.

Shiba Inu Unveils Game-Changing Expansion Strategy: ShibaSwap Set to Conquer Ethereum and Shibarium Chains!

//

The Shiba Inu community’s expansion strategy for ShibaSwap marks a significant milestone in the development of the ecosystem.

Lucie’s announcement regarding the expansion to both Ethereum and Shibarium chains reflects a strategic move to broaden the platform’s reach and utility.

ShibaSwap, already a vital component of the Shiba Inu ecosystem, will now extend its services to encompass a wider range of users and tokens.

The inclusion of Ethereum and Shibarium brings several advantages to ShibaSwap.

Firstly, it strengthens the security infrastructure by leveraging the robust security protocols of these layer-1 blockchain networks.

Whether through Ethereum’s proof-of-work or proof-of-stake mechanisms or Shibarium’s own security features, the expansion bolsters the resilience of the ecosystem against potential threats.

Moreover, tapping into the Ethereum and Shibarium ecosystems enhances ShibaSwap’s interoperability, facilitating seamless interactions with other tokens, decentralized applications (dApps), and exchanges.

This interoperability opens up new avenues for users, enabling them to access a broader spectrum of services within the crypto landscape.

Additionally, the integration with layer-1 networks ensures that ShibaSwap remains deeply entrenched in the core infrastructure of the crypto space.

While layer-2 solutions offer faster transactions, the foundational processes of token creation and management primarily occur on layer 1.

By expanding to Ethereum and Shibarium, ShibaSwap ensures its continued relevance and centrality within the crypto ecosystem.

The reliance of SHIB, BONE, and LEASH tokens on layer-1 blockchains for security, interoperability, and fundamental token operations highlights the interconnected nature of different layers within the crypto landscape.

This expansion not only showcases Shiba Inu’s commitment to innovation but also paves the way for a new era of growth and opportunity within its ecosystem of tokens.

DTCC Announces Exclusion of Collateral for Crypto ETFs, Impacting Market Dynamics

//

The Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation (DTCC), a key player in financial services offering clearing and settlement services, has declared its decision not to allocate any collateral to exchange-traded funds (ETFs) linked to Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies, and will not extend loans against them.

Effective April 30, 2024, DTCC will enact alterations to collateral values for specific securities during its annual line-of-credit facility renewal, potentially impacting position values in the collateral monitor.

This announcement made on April 26 signifies that ETFs and analogous investment instruments backed by Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies will be deprived of any collateral value, resulting in a complete reduction of 100% in their collateral value.

However, as cryptocurrency enthusiast K.O. Kryptowaluty elucidated in a post, this decision will solely affect inter-entity settlement within the line of credit system.

A line of credit represents a borrowing agreement between a financial institution and an individual or entity, permitting the borrower to access funds up to a predetermined credit limit, with interest typically applied solely to the borrowed amount.

According to Kryptowaluty, leveraging cryptocurrency ETFs for lending and as collateral in brokerage activities will proceed unaffected, contingent on the risk tolerance of individual brokers.

While DTCC has taken a stance against crypto ETFs, the sentiment is not mirrored across all traditional players.

Goldman Sachs’ clients have reentered the crypto market in 2024, propelled by revived interest post the approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs.

The debut of spot Bitcoin ETFs in the United States has ignited escalating institutional interest in this investment vehicle.

Within a mere three months of their introduction, all U.S.-based Bitcoin ETFs have amassed over $12.5 billion in assets under management.

In February, an estimated 75% of fresh Bitcoin investments stemmed from the 10 spot Bitcoin ETFs greenlit in the U.S. on Jan. 11.

Nevertheless, net inflows into the ETFs have recently decelerated. Various ETF issuers have reported substantial outflows of late.

As per Farside Investors, spot Bitcoin ETFs in the U.S. witnessed a net outflow of $218 million on April 25, following a $120 million outflow the prior day.

Grayscale’s GBTC ETF observed a notable single-day outflow of $82.4197 million. Data from Farside indicates a significant total net outflow from GBTC, tallying up to $17.185 billion.
