Shiba Inu Loses Steam as Whale Activity Dries Up—Just Another Meme Coin Running Out of Gas?
Shiba Inu’s rally hits a wall—big-money players are jumping ship, leaving retail bagholders to wonder if the ’Dogecoin killer’ was ever more than a hype train.
Whale wallets once pumped SHIB’s price with eight-figure buys. Now? Transactions over $1M have dropped 62% in 30 days. The so-called ’community-driven’ token can’t seem to function without Wall Street’s casino mentality propping it up.
Meanwhile, decentralized rivals with actual utility quietly eat Shiba’s lunch. But hey, at least the Shibarium upgrade generated enough hot air to briefly inflate the price—classic crypto ’innovation.’

Adding to the cautious sentiment is a subtle decline in whale participation. The number of wallets holding over 1 billion SHIB has decreased slightly in the past week, pointing to reduced involvement from major players.
While the drop is minor, it continues a trend of declining large-holder activity—often a sign that long-term conviction may be waning.
With fewer whales backing the token and technicals stuck in neutral, shiba inu faces a make-or-break moment. Without renewed buying pressure, the asset could be heading for a period of stagnation.
