Decline in SHIB Whale Activity

Cryptocurrency analyst and trader Ali Martinez has shared a chart provided by the on-chain data aggregator Santiment.

This chart clearly shows a massive decline in whale activity on the Shibarium network over the past 90 days.

SHIB Whales’ Activity Declines

The Santiment chart shared by Martinez illustrates a tremendous decline in SHIB whale transactions on the network since early December 2024. The chart registers SHIB transfers of more than $1 million worth of SHIB made by large wallets.

The decline in transaction activity has corresponded with a drop in the SHIB price, which fell from $0.000033 to $0.000016. Ali noted that since Dec. 6, whale activity on the Shiba Inu network has seen a 79% decline.
