Data from on-chain analytics firm Arkham Intelligence reveals significant activity involving Shiba Inu (SHIB) on cryptocurrency exchanges. Within 24 hours, whale addresses (investors holding large amounts of cryptocurrency) transferred over 1.3 trillion SHIB tokens, valued at roughly $30 million.
Shifting Tides: Outflows Outpace Inflows
While some of these transactions involved movement between unknown wallets, a notable trend was noticed – a net outflow of SHIB from exchanges.
This pattern, totaling over 705.9 billion SHIB ($16.5 million), suggests a potential shift in investor sentiment. Traditionally, the transfer of cryptocurrency from exchanges to private wallets can indicate a long-term holding strategy, potentially reducing sell pressure on the market.

Coinbase and Others
The most significant outflow originated from a Coinbase hot wallet, commonly used to facilitate withdrawal requests. This single transaction involved the movement of 343.5 billion SHIB, valued at $7.92 million.
In addition to the massive outflow from Coinbase, Arkham Intelligence identified other significant transactions involving large amounts of SHIB leaving cryptocurrency exchanges.
One such instance involved a major crypto trading platform and market maker, B2C2 Group. It witnessed a transfer of 100 billion SHIB, valued at roughly $2.31 million, from one of its wallets.
An interesting outlier in this trend was Robinhood, a popular online brokerage platform. They received an inflow of 88.1 billion SHIB. While this might seem contradictory, it may represent a large investor moving their holdings to Robinhood for other purposes, not necessarily for immediate selling.
Finally, Kraken, another cryptocurrency exchange, experienced two separate outflows. The first involved the withdrawal of 87.4 billion SHIB ($2 million) from a hot wallet. The second transaction saw 86.7 billion SHIB ($1.99 million) moved out of a Kraken deposit address.

Potential Market Implications
The net outflow of SHIB from exchanges could be interpreted as a bullish sign for the token’s price. By removing a significant portion of the circulating supply from exchanges, these large investors might be contributing to potential scarcity in the short term. However, it’s important to remember that the cryptocurrency market is complex and influenced by various factors beyond exchange flows.
The recent activity on cryptocurrency exchanges highlights the dynamic nature of the SHIB market. While the outflow trend suggests a potential shift in investor sentiment, close monitoring of on-chain data and broader market conditions will be crucial to understand the long-term implications for the price of Shiba Inu.
