One of the largest holders of Pepe coins dumped $2.53 million worth of PEPE tokens, which it has to write off because of the current low prices of cryptocurrencies. As per Lookonchain, the whale transferred 330 billion PEPE tokens to the Kraken exchange, and it still possesses 1 trillion PEPE tokens worth about $7.57 million.PEPE Whale Dumps 330B Tokens at Kraken & Still Holds 1T PEPE
The latest actions of the whale have raised eyebrows in the community. First, they sold 500 billion PEPE tokens and then purchased 828 billion tokens for a cheaper price.
This took their total stakes to 1.3 trillion PEPE, which is approximately $9.9 million. But even with these transactions, the whale ended up on the wrong side of the ledger with a loss of more than $3 million.
