39.27 Trillion SHIB on Robinhood, So Who Holds More?

Brokerage platform Robinhood remains atop Shiba Inu’s holder list with more than 39.27 trillion SHIB currently held in a wallet related to the trading platform.

According to Etherscan data, 39,273,242,865,360.9000 SHIB currently sits in a Robinhood-named wallet, or 3.9274% of Shiba Inu’s supply, currently worth $161,805,760.61.

While this figure seems significant, Robinhood isn’t the biggest holder of SHIB. Another wallet contains a far larger SHIB balance, accounting for 41.0441% of its supply.

Shiba Inu‘s burn address surprisingly holds the largest amount of SHIB, with Etherscan giving this quantity as 410,433,377,893,806 SHIB worth $1,695,089,850. A burn address is a wallet address with no known private key and is neither owned by nor accessible to anyone. Tokens in the burn address can’t be used or retrieved, effectively reducing supply.

Contributing to the burn address total is Ethereum creator Vitalik Buterin’s massive SHIB burn in May 2021. Buterin sent a trove of more than 410 trillion tokens to Shiba Inu’s dead wallet address, taking them out of circulation. This was worth $6.7 billion at the time. Shiba Inu continues its deflationary momentum, with 3.43 million SHIB burned in the last 24 hours.

The remaining 58.06% of the supply is shared mostly among exchanges, which hold larger amounts on behalf of holders, and individual wallets, with whales making up 0.04% of holders.
