Shiba Inu Exchange Inflows Surge Then Reverse as Outflows Spike 311 Billion SHIB and Burn Rate Jumps 1,307%
Over four days, SHIB exchange activity swung from heavy net inflows to massive net outflows while a separate burn event removed 46.25 million tokens from circulation.
Why it matters
The swing from net inflows to net outflows over several days, combined with declining exchange reserves, suggests a shift in how holders are positioning their SHIB. The substantial burn event reduces circulating supply but U.Today noted that such burns do not directly influence price movement.
