Shiba Inu Price Falls as Whale Transfers Over 210 Billion Tokens

The Shiba Inu price recently dropped to $0.000007683 due to significant selling pressure from a whale transferring billions of SHIB tokens, raising concerns of a sell-off.

Reasons for Price Drop

  • A SHIB whale moved 210.365 billion tokens, worth $1.63 million, to Robinhood, constituting 97% of their holdings.
  • Additional transfers included 1.52 billion tokens to Robinhood and 7 billion to B2C2 Group, possibly an OTC sale.
  • The market-wide sell-off, led by Bitcoin dropping to $87,000 amid US-Europe trade tensions, also impacted the price.
  • Despite the crash, SHIB remains up over 15% YTD but significantly below its ATH of $0.00008845.

Exchange Netflows

  • SHIB's exchange netflows are mixed with negative net flows today, suggesting more inflows than outflows.
  • Positive netflows of 1.6 billion tokens were observed yesterday, indicating potential whale accumulation.
  • January 16 saw positive netflows of 115 billion tokens, overshadowed by January 20's negative 214 billion SHIB.
