Shiba Inu whale resumes accumulation, buys 50.25 billion SHIB at multi-year lows

A significant on-chain transaction has emerged in the Shiba Inu market, as a major investor reactivated their wallet to accumulate SHIB tokens for the first time in eight months, according to blockchain analytics firm Arkham.

Large investor activity draws attention amid market downturn

While retail investors in Shiba Inu have largely been forced to realize losses due to the continued lack of substantial growth, data reveals a different approach from this particular wallet. Instead of selling, the account has been gradually increasing its SHIB position, taking advantage of discounted prices offered via the largest liquidity pool for SHIB on Binance.

Arkham data indicates the wallet strategically accumulated more than 50.25 billion SHIB tokens, valued at approximately $209,200, making SHIB the primary asset in its portfolio. The transactions mainly originated from Binance hot wallets and consistently moved tokens into the investor’s personal custody.

Arkham reported that the investor consistently withdrew SHIB from Binance, contradicting the notion of a random purchase and instead pointing to a deliberate and ongoing accumulation strategy.

The purchases follow a period of silence by the wallet stretching over eight months, highlighting a renewed appetite for SHIB at current levels. This turn comes at a time when Shiba Inu’s price dropped to multi-year lows, returning to support levels last seen in late 2022.

Market outlook: Shiba Inu at critical support

TradingView data shows that by the end of July 2025, Shiba Inu’s price had fallen to $0.000004142. This marked a retreat to the coin’s established support region from 2022 and the near erasure of momentum gained in early 2024.

With SHIB prices languishing at these historical support levels, further direction is expected to depend on whether large buyers can maintain a strong buy wall in Binance’s order book. A breakdown beneath the current support of $0.0000041 may trigger widespread stop-loss selling from retail traders, risking a deeper decline.

Analysts highlight that a decisive move may require a burst of trading volume on exchanges, combined with continued withdrawals of tokens to cold storage. Such actions would suggest robust accumulation and could create conditions for SHIB to attempt a breakout against local resistance—its first in two years.

If prices remain stable at current thresholds and accumulation continues, the Shiba Inu market may witness its most significant trend reversal attempt since 2022.
