Recent data indicates that major Shiba Inu and Ethereum exchange wallets have experienced significant withdrawals, signaling potential positive outcomes for their values.
Shiba Inu, Ethereum, & Chainlink Witness Reductions in Exchange Holdings
According to insights shared by the on-chain analysis company Santiment in a recent post on X, the top 10 exchange wallets linked to the SHIB, ETH, and LINK networks have observed a decrease in their holdings.
The term “top 10 exchange wallets” pertains to the ten largest wallets currently associated with centralized exchanges, typically owned by major investors in the market, often referred to as whales.
Typically, the influence of any address on the network amplifies as the volume of assets it holds increases, making the top 10 exchange wallets among the most influential players in the market. This collective supply trend can be crucial for any cryptocurrency.
Displayed below is a chart illustrating this data for the top assets: Shiba Inu (SHIB), Ethereum (ETH), and Chainlink (LINK).
The graph indicates a recent decline in the holdings of the top 10 exchange whales for all three cryptocurrencies. Specifically, from late May, Shiba Inu decreased by 2.4%, Chainlink by 2.9%, and Ethereum by 8.6%.
Typically, buying from whales signals positivity for an asset, but in this scenario, the wallet sizes have reduced. However, it’s crucial to note that these addresses are linked to exchanges rather than self-custodial wallets.
Traders often keep their coins on exchanges if they intend to trade them shortly, representing the available sell supply. The recent drop in exchange supply for SHIB, LINK, and ETH suggests a potential decrease in selling pressure.
Considering these are the ten largest wallets tied to these platforms, the withdrawals may indicate a bullish stance, hinting that major whales could be looking to hold onto their assets long-term.
The chart depicts Chainlink and Ethereum experiencing swift withdrawals from these large holders at the end of May, their metrics stabilizing since then.
In contrast, Shiba Inu initially experienced an increase followed by waves of outflows, notably peaking in the past week. This suggests SHIB’s outflows may still be ongoing compared to LINK and ETH.
SHIB Price Outlook
Currently, Shiba Inu is valued around $0.0000216, exhibiting a decrease of over 13% in the past week.
