SHIB Whale Activity Crashes By 65%

As per the data from blockchain analytics platform IntoTheBlock, Shiba Inu (SHIB) whales are showing signs of retreat, reporting a massive 65% drop in SHIB’s large transaction volume within just 24 hours.

Wallets holding at least $100,000 worth of SHIB tokens have seen a significant reduction in activity, highlighting dropping interest among large holders. This sharp decline highlights a lack of resilience among investors amid the broader market downturn.

Last week, on June 6, SHIB’s large transaction volume peaked at an impressive 17.63 trillion SHIB. However, this metric has since nosedived to just 948.59 billion SHIB in the last day. The data suggests that whales are offloading their SHIB holdings.

This might weigh as a negative sentiment on the SHIB price for the continuation of the rally. However, if the whale activity flips to the positive with a higher burn rate, investors can see some upside here.
