SHIB Price Soars Amid Massive Whale Accumulation
The SHIB price has gone sluggish trading over the past few days before reversing its track today with a surge of over 3%. Although the surge has sparked speculations, while reflecting the growing investors’ confidence, a significant whale transfer has caught the eyes of the market watchers.
As per a recent report from the on-chain transaction tracking platform, Lookonchain, a smart whale withdrew 353.83 billion SHIB from Binance today. This substantial transfer, worth around $6.6 million, seems to have boosted the SHIB price.

Price & Performance
Amid the significant transfer, Shiba Inu price soared 3.21% to $0.00001878, while its one-day trading volume fell nearly 40% to $280.87 million. Notably, over the last 24 hours, the SHIB price saw a high of $0.00001892 and a low of $0.00001798. Although the Shiba Inu Open Interest still stands in the red, it has improved to $36.32 million during writing.
Meanwhile, apart from the whale movement, another prominent reason that has caught the eyes of investors lately is the massive spike in the SHIB burn rate. Despite the burn rate decreasing this week, the recent week’s immense burning spree has fueled investors’ confidence in the crypto.
In addition, Shiba Inu has recently announced the launch of a close beta Web3 version of the Shiba Eternity game in the third quarter of this year. Notably, Shiba Inu’s lead developer Shytoshi Kusama said that the revenue generated from the in-app game purchase would be utilized to boost the SHIB and LEASH tokens burning, further fueling market sentiment.
