What’s in Gimli’s altcoin portfolio?
Ranked #235 on Whalestats’ list, Gimli is a known ETH whale. However, he is also interested in other altcoin projects. So, what are the projects that the whale wants to have in his wallet?
Looking at the whale’s wallet, MANA, the token of a popular mataverse coin Decentraland, stands out first. Next comes the oracle network Chainlink (LINK). Enjin (ENJ), a blockchain gaming platform that supports Non Fungible Tokens (NFT), is also a whale-loving coin. It also holds other cryptocurrencies, including Basic Attention Token (BAT), USD Coin (USDC), and Fantom (FTM).
Of these holdings, Ethereum (ETH) accounts for about 76% of the crypto portfolio. Therefore, the leading altcoin receives a large part of its investment. It is also better understood why there is an Ethereum whale. The rest of the portfolio is close to 24%. Now, SHIB has gained a foothold with this portfolio. SHIB now holds 19% of the portfolio outside of ETH.
SHIB market movement
According to CoinMarketCap data, the meme coin was trading at $0.00001132 with gains of 5.27% in the last 24 hours. SHIB’s weekly performance, on the other hand, is not bad for crypto winter conditions at 12.09%. It also parallels the weekly performance of the leading crypto Bitcoin. SHIB ranks 14th in the cryptocurrency league in terms of market cap. However, the dog-themed Shiba Inu is far from its glory days. Considering the meme coin’s peak of $0.00008845, it currently stands at 87.25% off.
