High Volatility Expected for Shiba Inu as 1,060,000,000,000 SHIB Move to Exchanges

Blockchain analytics platform Santiment warns that Shiba Inu could experience significant volatility in the coming days amid whale activity.

In its analysis today, Santiment highlights that Shiba Inu has just logged its highest number of whale-sized transactions since June 6, 2025. The accompanying data shows that Shiba Inu transactions exceeding $100,000 surged to 406 today, a sharp jump from the less than 50 count recorded on June 6.

Meanwhile, Santiment notes that this spike in whale transfers coincided with a dramatic increase in SHIB tokens on exchanges.

Shiba Inu Exchange Reserve Jumps By 1.06T

Over the past 24 hours, Shiba Inu’s exchange reserves climbed by 1.06 trillion SHIB, representing a substantial net inflow to centralized platforms. This surge brought the total SHIB held on exchanges to 136.95 trillion.

The chart reveals a clear correlation between the rise in exchange balances and the simultaneous surge in whale transactions. The pattern suggests that large holders are strategically moving funds for significant trades.

Santiment suggests that this combination of heightened whale activity and rising supply on exchanges places Shiba Inu in a zone where increased volatility is likely in the coming days.

Major Shift in Exchange Flows

The surge in exchange net inflows marks a shift from the recent trend in which whales consistently removed large amounts of SHIB from centralized platforms.

Data from Arkham Intelligence shows that more than 4.13 trillion Shiba Inu tokens recently left Coinbase for two newly created wallets. The first wallet received 2.966 trillion SHIB, while the second collected 1.173 trillion SHIB, both from the same exchange.

Additionally, The Crypto Basic reported last week that another whale withdrew 169.13 billion SHIB from Coinbase, reinforcing the pattern of heavy outflows.

Meanwhile, more recent data from Santiment observed a sharp increase in exchange reserves, with 1.06 trillion SHIB flowing back onto trading platforms, pushing the total to 136.95 trillion SHIB.

This reversal suggests that whales may be repositioning ahead of potential market volatility, according to Santiment.

For now, Shiba Inu’s price has remained stuck between $0.0000083 and $0.0000087 throughout the past week. The token currently trades at $0.000008456, reflecting a modest 0.35% increase over the past day and a 6.36% spike over the past week.
