Can These Buyups Change Price Outlook?

Shiba Inu is an established community token that can benefit from sustained individual accumulations of this nature. In the past month, at least 5 whales, including Tron’s Justin Sun have emerged with massive SHIB stack-up, a move that can help limit the supply of SHIB tokens in circulation.

These supply constraints, complemented by the consistent burn rate can impact price in the long term should demand for SHIB in the ecosystem grow over time. This is where Shibarium and the applications building on it come in as new use cases may enhance the need for SHIB and help complete the cycle that can eventually uplift prices.
