The blockchain tracking page Lookonchain tweeted yesterday that a crypto whale had bought 1.23 trillion Pepe (PEPE) with 250 Ethereum (ETH), worth approximately $476k at the time the purchase was made. The tweet also added that the average buying price for this PEPE purchase was $0.000000366.
The same whale then went and traded SkyHub Coin (SHB) shortly after its PEPE purchase. However, the whale lost approximately 25 ETH, estimated to be worth $79K, in this trade.
