Shiba Inu’s on-chain data shows an interesting dynamic among SHIB holders and 
their relationship with crypto exchanges. Recent metrics from CryptoQuant show 
sustained withdrawals from exchanges alongside a noticeable increase in burn 
activity in the past few days, all of which are signs of tighter supply 
conditions. This dwindling exchange supply reflects hundreds of billions of 
SHIB tokens removed from exchanges in recent days in a trend that dates back 
up to a year. Massive Decline In SHIB Held On Exchanges According to data from 
on-chain analytics platform CryptoQuant, SHIB exchange reserves have declined 
noticeably as whale wallets withdraw large amounts of tokens from trading 
platforms. On January 16, the total Shiba Inu exchange reserves stood at 
approximately 82.6 trillion SHIB. As of January 20, that figure has fallen to 
about 82.23 trillion SHIB. This change means that roughly 370 billion SHIB has 
been removed from exchanges in just a few days. Such movements are typically 
attributed to whale activity, as transfers of this size are rarely caused by 
retail traders. When whales move SHIB off exchanges, the tokens are often sent 
to cold storage or long-term holding wallets, reducing the amount of supply 
immediately available for selling. SHIB Exchange Reserve. Source: CryptoQuant 
This short-term outflow also fits into a much larger trend of outflows from 
crypto exchanges since January 2025. CryptoQuant data shows that SHIB exchange 
reserves were close to 140 trillion tokens in early January 2025. Since then, 
however, SHIB whales have steadily reduced exchange balances, and this has 
pushed the reserves down to current levels around 82.2 trillion SHIB. The 
consistency of this decline suggests deliberate accumulation or long-term 
positioning by large holders. SHIB Exchange Reserve. Source: CryptoQuant Whale 
Activity Correlates With Increased SHIB Burn Rates Burn activity across the 
Shiba Inu network has intensified alongside whales withdrawing SHIB from 
exchanges. According to recent on-chain data, the SHIB burn rate has witnessed 
a jump of more than 1,200% in the past 24-hour period, with almost 29 million 
SHIB permanently removed from circulation. Although burns are not exclusively 
initiated by whales, large holders often play a role by sending large tokens 
to burn addresses or interacting with ecosystem mechanisms like Shibarium that 
lead to burns. Data from the burn tracker website Shibburn shows that the bulk 
of these burns were made with one single transfer of 28 million SHIB tokens 
sent to burn address CA. SHIB Burn Rate. Source: Shibburn.com According to 
CryptoQuant data, over 51.2 billion SHIB tokens have been withdrawn from 
crypto exchanges in the past 24 hours alone. So far, Shiba Inu&#8217;s price action 
has not made a decisive move in response to these changes. At the time of 
writing, Shiba Inu is trading at $0.00000794, up by 1% in the past 24 hours 
but down by 7.6% in a seven-day timeframe. SHIB Exchange Netflow. Source:
