Trillions in SHIB Flow Into Whale Wallets in Sudden Buying Frenzy

Trillions in SHIB Flow Into Whale Wallets in Sudden Buying Frenzy

Under the radar just days ago, Shiba Inu has suddenly become the focus of massive interest from heavyweight investors.

On May 7, blockchain data revealed a stunning wave of accumulation, with trillions of SHIB tokens pouring into large wallets in what appears to be a major repositioning by key market players.

According to figures from IntoTheBlock, addresses typically linked to institutional capital or high-net-worth individuals saw SHIB inflows jump from under 240 billion tokens to more than 6.4 trillion in a single day.

Then, on May 8, that momentum intensified—netflows surged again, hitting over 6.2 trillion SHIB. The sheer scale of this movement—an over 6,000% leap—suggests whales aren’t just dabbling, they’re diving in.

These movements come after a stretch of subdued action earlier this month, when large-scale buying was practically absent. Now, the tables have turned.

Analysts who track whale behavior often interpret these kinds of sharp inflow spikes as a sign of accumulation during market dips. In many cases, such purchases are whisked away to cold storage—an indicator that the buyers are playing the long game, not chasing quick profits.
