A single transaction moving approximately $70 million worth of Shiba Inu (SHIB) tokens from Coinbase Institutional to an unknown wallet represents the largest SHIB transfer recorded in 2025, highlighting significant institutional involvement despite the token’s recent market challenges.
This substantial movement follows a pattern of institutional activity, including multiple large SHIB deposits into Coinbase Institutional in June valued between $31.6 million and $44.3 million. Analysts interpret these flows as potential signs of active portfolio rebalancing by institutional investors.
The $70 million outflow coincided with a sharp market downturn where SHIB’s price dropped over 10%, aligning with broader cryptocurrency corrections occurring at the time. This volatility has impacted SHIB’s standing, resulting in its descent outside the ranking of the top 25 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization.
Industry observers advise monitoring such large-scale SHIB transfers closely, as they may serve as indicators of shifting market sentiment and liquidity movements, particularly given the token’s well-documented price sensitivity and volatility.
