On June 9, Blockchain tracker Whale Alert reported a significant transaction that involved the transfer of 4 trillion Shiba Inu tokens to Binance. The value of this SHIB amounted to $31.7 million and incurred a small fee of just $1.78 before the Shiba Inu price took a dive.
While several reactions have trailed the transaction, market participants pointed out that it increased Shiba Inu’s circulating supply by 1% to 578.9 trillion tokens. The unstaked tokens also reduced the number of staked SHIB tokens to 10.41 trillion, according to Shibburn data.
SHIB Circulating Supply Rises, Value Tanks
The transaction increased the selling pressure on SHIB, falling 18.3% in the past 24 hours to $0.00000648. However, its price performance reflects the general trend in the crypto market during the reporting period.
The recent regulatory troubles facing the major crypto exchanges in the space have dulled the investors’ sentiments and appetite for the industry.
IntoTheBlock data further shows that the price decline increased the percentage of SHIB investors holding at a loss to 89%. According to data from the blockchain analytical firm, the number of ‘SHIB millionaires’ also fell to 1,207.
