Recent data highlights significant activities involving Shiba Inu (SHIB) tokens, with large holders or “whales” moving trillions of tokens to various cryptocurrency exchanges.
From mid-May to the end of the month, the volume of SHIB on trading platforms escalated from 144 trillion to over 147.5 trillion coins.
This transfer of over four trillion SHIB, valued at approximately $103 million, suggests notable market behaviors.
On May 29, a significant price fluctuation was observed as SHIB’s price spiked to $0.000029, marking a 21% increase.
This peak was followed by a decline of 12.16%, likely influenced by substantial sell-offs. The latest trading data shows SHIB at around $0.00002584.
The Shibburn tracking platform has also reported an uptick in SHIB burning activities.
In recent efforts, nearly 9.85 million SHIB were sent to irretrievable addresses in 13 transactions.
Notable among these were burns of 2.92 million, 2 million, and 1.5 million SHIB.
These actions are part of an ongoing effort by the SHIB community to reduce the circulating supply and potentially boost the token’s value.

Highlighting the history of such activities, three years ago, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin performed a significant burn of 410 trillion SHIB, a move that decisively impacted the SHIB ecosystem.
This event took place in 2021 after Buterin received half of the total SHIB supply from its anonymous creator, Ryoshi.
Buterin decided to destroy most of these tokens, allocating the remainder—90 trillion SHIB—to a crypto charity supporting pandemic relief in India.
This monumental burn is often mentioned as a crucial moment that enhanced SHIB’s reputation in the cryptocurrency market.
In summary, the recent movements of SHIB by whales and the community’s burning initiatives represent strategic maneuvers aimed at affecting the token’s market dynamics.
As the cryptocurrency environment evolves, these activities are expected to continually influence SHIB’s valuation and its standing in the digital asset realm.
