Shiba Inu holders shifted more than 251 billion SHIB tokens to centralized exchanges within the last 24 hours. Usually, such a surge signals prepping for sales, yet the situation shows a different story this time.
While large inflows often hint at looming sell-offs, the net movement between inflows and outflows was just 3.45 billion SHIB, a tiny fraction compared to the gross volume. Exchange reserves remained steady around 87.26 trillion SHIB, which suggests that traders aren’t rushing to dump their holdings aggressively. If they were, reserves would have climbed over several sessions instead of staying flat. On-chain data reveals a nuanced picture with increased user activity: sending addresses rose by 0.79%, and receiving addresses by 0.83% over the past day, indicating steady engagement rather than a drop-off.
Exchange Activity Does Not Point to Capitulation
The near equal inflows and outflows reflect a balanced tug-of-war rather than investor capitulation in Shiba Inu’s market. This subtle balance contrasts with patterns seen in coins undergoing panic selling. The broader crypto market has also seen mixed signals, with some projects like Strategy Inc. unloading Bitcoin to back dividends, but SHIB remains stable in reserves despite high movement.
