For many months, FTT, the native token on crypto exchange FTX, has been the number one holding among Ethereum whales, excluding ETH itself. At time of writing, however, Shiba Inu has claimed the number one spot, with Ethereum whales holding an average allocation of 15% of SHIB.

Other recent whale transactions include the utility and governance token MKR of the decentralized lending platform Maker, GRT, the token that powers indexing protocol The Graph, as well as the tokens for decentralized exchange Uniswap (UNI) and metaverse platform Decentraland (MANA).
