According to <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/TKR_Trading\/status\/2010537539829154251?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TKResearch Trading<\/a>, since December 5, about 80 trillion SHIB has been recorded leaving various exchanges, reducing the total balance from 370.3 trillion to 290.3 trillion tokens.<\/p>\n<p>In the past 60 days alone, new wallets withdrew 82 trillion SHIB from CEXs like Coinbase at around $0.0000085. This amount equates to 28% of the total SHIB supply available on exchanges at that time. With the dwindling supply, control of liquidity is slowly shifting into the hands of large investors.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, data also shows that this outflow is not simply a simple asset transfer. Many new wallets are withdrawing trillions of tokens, indicating a phase of planned accumulation. The market still sees large inflows and outflows of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crypto-news-flash.com\/what-is-shiba-inu-shib-a-deep-dive-into-its-role-and-functionality-in-the-cryptocurrency-landscape\/\">SHIB<\/a> from time to time, but the underlying trend remains a reduction in the supply on exchanges.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\ud83d\udea8Big Players Control Supply: <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%24SHIB&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">$SHIB<\/a> Exchange Liquidity Nearly Locked<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udcca <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%24SHIB&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">$SHIB<\/a> Supply Breakdown<br \/>\ud83d\udd38Circulating Supply: 589.24T <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%24SHIB&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">$SHIB<\/a> (Coinmarketcap)<br \/>\ud83d\udd38Supply on Exchange: 290.4T <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%24SHIB&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">$SHIB<\/a><br \/>\u21d2 Net Circulating Supply (excluding exchanges): 289T SHIB<\/p>\n<p>Discover more below \ud83d\udc47 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/kTtAnDjOmI\">pic.twitter.com\/kTtAnDjOmI<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 TKResearch Trading (@TKR_Trading) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TKR_Trading\/status\/2010537539829154251?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">January 12, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2><strong>Shiba Inu Whales Tighten Their Grip on Exchange Liquidity<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Shiba Inu whale activity has become increasingly intense in recent weeks. Large-value transfers occurred repeatedly, indicating that well-capitalized investors were reorganizing their positions.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the reduction in balances on exchanges tightened liquidity. Under these conditions, even a single large transaction could have a significant impact on the price.<\/p>\n<p>However, the market didn\u2019t move entirely in one direction. There were moments when tens of trillions of SHIB also re-entered exchanges, usually interpreted as potential selling pressure. Despite this, the scale of outflows remained dominant.<\/p>\n<p>Recent withdrawal activity from newly created wallets hinted that several large holders preferred keeping their tokens off exchanges instead of lining them up for a fast sell-off.<\/p>\n<p>This change made Shiba Inu\u2019s dynamics feel tighter. Volume on exchanges dwindled, while ownership was concentrated in specific addresses. Traders generally view this kind of setup as a recipe for sharper volatility, since one big player can move the market in an instant.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, in early December, we <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crypto-news-flash.com\/sleuth-uncovers-shibarium-hack-trail\/\">reported<\/a> that the Shiba Inu community finally received clarity regarding the September Shibarium hack, which resulted in the loss of 92.6 billion SHIB and 224.57 ETH.<\/p>\n<p>According to on-chain analyst Shima, the hacker tipped his hand when he accidentally moved 0.0874 ETH into a hidden withdrawal address, making it possible to track him down.<\/p>\n<p>A few weeks earlier, on November 20, we <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crypto-news-flash.com\/shiba-inu-shib-eyes-breakout\/\">highlighted<\/a> Shiba Inu\u2019s partnership with Bitget to introduce a fee-free crypto card. This card allows monthly spending of up to $400 without additional fees.<\/p>\n<p>Further back, in mid-September, we also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crypto-news-flash.com\/shiba-inus-shibaswap-cross-chain-upgrade-brings-shib-defi-to-ethereum-polygon-arbitrum-and-base\/\">reported<\/a> on a major upgrade to ShibaSwap. The Shiba Inu team\u2019s DEX has now transformed into a full-fledged multi-chain platform. Users are no longer limited to the often congested and expensive Ethereum network.<\/p>\n<p>Swaps can now be made across networks such as Polygon, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crypto-news-flash.com\/avalanche-avax-in-2025-speed-subnets-and-the-future-of-blockchain\/\">Avalanche<\/a>, Mantle, Optimism, Arbitrum, Base, Binance Smart Chain, Celo, Gnosis, and others to follow.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Technical Setup Hints at Potential Upside Breakout<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Meanwhile, from a technical perspective, analyst <a href=\"https:\/\/coinmarketcap.com\/community\/post\/372748343\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Trend<\/a> observes Shiba Inu pressing the upper line of a falling wedge pattern on the weekly chart.
