According to on-chain data, Shiba Inu whale inflows have skyrocketed by 6,306%, reaching a six-month high and sparking speculation about what could be brewing behind the scenes.
IntotheBlock’s large holder inflows indicator, which measures funds entering into whale addresses, is up 6,306% this week.
The 6,306% increase is one of the largest short-term inflow jumps in recent memory, suggesting that deep-pocketed investors are suddenly paying close attention to SHIB again. This level of whale inflows has not been seen since early 2025.

Whales may be positioning early in expectation of new developments.
