Major Shiba Inu transfers are picking up again, suggesting that large traders are returning to the meme-coin market.<\/span><\/p>\n

The shift first appeared in on-chain data. Santiment <\/span>reported<\/span><\/a> that SHIB saw a +111% jump in transactions worth at least $100,000 over the past week.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That puts the token among the top ten projects showing the fastest growth in large transfers for assets valued above $500M.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The update came on Jan. 8, as traders adjusted their positions early in the new year.<\/span><\/p>\n

SHIB\u2019s price has not reacted sharply as the token traded near $0.00000875 on Friday, up about -0.1% in the past day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As per Coingecko data, the daily volume stood at roughly $126M, and its market cap was close to $5.13Bn.<\/span><\/p>\n

Is SHIB\u2019s Liquidity Enough to Attract Big Institutional Moves?<\/h2>\n

Analysts say the rise in large transfers still matters. They point to liquidity.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As one market note highlighted, institutions usually stick with assets that hold multi-billion-dollar valuations and steady order books.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It helps them move size with less slippage, and SHIB continues to meet that requirement.<\/span><\/p>\n

Santiment\u2019s leaderboard shows SHIB is up +111%, but it has lagged behind bigger moves in rival meme tokens. Floki on Ethereum jumped about +950%, while Pepe rose roughly +620%.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That gap suggests traders are still rotating capital within the high-risk meme trade rather than piling into a single name.<\/span><\/p>\n

Institutional access has also widened. In August 2025, Valour <\/span>listed<\/span><\/a> a SEK-denominated Shiba Inu exchange-traded product in Sweden.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The firm said the launch reflected demand for simple and transparent access to a broader set of digital assets.<\/span><\/p>\n

Derivatives data points to active positioning. As per <\/span>Coinglass data,<\/span><\/a> open interest in SHIB across all exchanges stands at $111.80 million.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As per <\/span>DefiLlama data<\/span><\/a>, perpetual futures trading volume has reached $660.24M, while spot volume sits near $238.03M.<\/span><\/p>\n

ShibaSwap\u2019s decentralized exchange activity remains modest, with DefiLlama showing a 24-hour DEX volume of $288,966.<\/span><\/p>\n

SHIB Price Prediction: Is SHIB Starting a New Trend After Breaking Its Downtrend?<\/h2>\n

Shiba Inu (SHIB) is also hinting at an early shift in trend after bouncing sharply from recent lows.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A 4-hour chart shared by market analyst ShibSpain shows the token recovering from the $0.0000069\u2013$0.0000072 zone, then pushing into a fast upward move that flipped short-term momentum toward buyers.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2014 Shib Spain (@ShibSpain) January 7, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n\n

The rebound carried SHIB back into the $0.0000086\u2013$0.0000089 range, a level that has acted as both support and resistance in past sessions.<\/span><\/p>\n

Price is now moving sideways inside this band, which points to a cooling period after the strong push rather than a clear rejection.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The structure shows a higher low and then a higher high, breaking the pattern of lower moves that defined the previous downtrend.<\/span><\/p>\n

ShibSpain\u2019s chart suggests a small pullback and some range trading above support before any new leg higher. If buyers defend this area, SHIB could extend its recovery.<\/span><\/p>\n
