These massive fund flows come at a time when Shiba Inu is showing signs of a potential price rebound, amidst a mild resurgence in the broader crypto market. On-chain analytics resource Arkham Intelligence previously indexed over 1.3 trillion Shiba Inu tokens moved by whale addresses by May 10. These transactions included movements across unknown wallets and into exchanges.

Repositioning Amid Market Volatility

Ultimately, the timing of these transactions is particularly notable, as they coincide with a period of increased market activity and interest in Shiba Inu. The transfer of such large sums from exchanges could indicate strategic repositioning by whales.

Meanwhile, the price of Shiba Inu (SHIB) stands at $0.00001797, with a 24-hour trading volume of $274,726,427. This represents a 3.01% price decline in the last 24 hours and a 16.52% drop over the past week.
