The meme coin market has seen a remarkable transformation in the past year, large-cap tokens like Dogecoin (DOGE) and Shiba Inu (SHIB) have managed to stay in the forefront. Specifically, the SHIB token has experienced impressive growth, increasing in value by roughly 65% in the past year.


However, the current uncertain climate has not spared any large-cap meme token, including Shiba Inu, with deep corrections and sluggish sideways movement plaguing most of the market in the past two months. As large investors now seem to be exiting the market, this dour condition might persist longer than expected. $1 Million SHIB Transactions On A Steady Decline


In a post on the X platform, popular crypto analyst Ali Martinez revealed that the whale class of Shiba Inu investors has become less active in the past three months. This on-chain observation is based on Santiment’s Whale Transaction Count metric, which tracks the number of SHIB transactions worth more than $1 million.

Whales refer to entities or individuals that hold significant amounts of a specific crypto asset (Shiba Inu, in this scenario). Crypto whales are often considered key players in the market, as their buying or selling activities can have a significant impact on the SHIB price; thereby resulting in speculation and potential market shifts.

According to Martinez, there has been a 79% dip in the activity of the SHIB whales on the Shiba Inu network, suggesting a possible shift in investor sentiment. A steady decline in whale activity often indicates decreased confidence or interest from major holders, especially as they look to rotate into other assets.


As seen with the recent Shiba Inu price action, a sustained downturn in large whale transactions is also often associated with a corresponding decline in value and intermittent sideways movement. Hence, if the price of Shiba Inu is to resurrect from its market slump, whale activity on the network would need to pick up as quickly as possible. Shiba Inu Price Overview


As of this writing, the SHIB token is valued at around $0.0000156, reflecting an almost 3% price jump in the past 24 hours. While Shiba Inu seems to be consolidating around the $0.000015 level for most of February, the meme coin is yet to fully recover from its recent plunge toward $0.000012 earlier in the month.


According to CoinGecko data, the second-largest meme coin is still down by more than 20% in the last 30 days. Meanwhile, the Shiba Inu price has shrunk by nearly 50% in the past three months.
