cryptocurrency.com.tr reports that SHIB exchange reserves have fallen below 87 trillion tokens following internal movements on Binance. TheCryptoBasic cited Arkham Intelligence data showing Binance transferred a total of 3,098,891,481,684 SHIB in two separate transactions executed within one minute. The first transfer moved 1.099 trillion SHIB between Binance-controlled cold wallets, valued at roughly $5.84 million, while the second moved another 2 trillion SHIB between the same wallets. These linked wallet-management operations indicate a shift in how the exchange is managing its cold storage reserves.
How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for SHIB, measured when this story was written up on 29 August 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
SHIB is trading at $0.000005180 with a 1-hour buy ratio of 44.6% and a 4-hour buy ratio of 45.4%, both falling below the 24-hour buy ratio of 49.9%. This indicates that buying pressure is fading in the short term compared to the daily average. The 1-hour volume delta is -$6,285 and the 4-hour volume delta is -$27,391, showing that sell volume has exceeded buy volume in these recent windows. Volume delta measures the net difference between buy and sell volume, so negative figures mean more money is flowing out than in. Despite this short-term outflow, the 24-hour CVD closed at +$66,024, indicating that over the full day, buy volume still outweighed sell volume.
The latest daily buy ratio of 45.6% sits at the 11th percentile of the last 322 days, against a median of 48.8% - weaker buying than most days.
Twenty-four hours later
What SHIB did over the 23 hours after the story broke. The market moves for its own reasons; this is what happened, not what the story caused.
Was that an ordinary day?
The same Binance spot measurements for SHIB, averaged over the days leading up to the story.
Over the preceding week, the average buy ratio was 49.6%, with the latest day showing a slight increase of 0.3 points. However, the 24-hour spot volume of $4,391,214 represents only 0.46x the weekly average, indicating significantly lower activity than usual. Net buying occurred on only 3 of the past 7 days, contrasting with the 14 hours of net buying recorded in the last 24 hours. The price has dropped 12.4% over the last 8 days, with a total volume delta of -$1,040,083 for the period. This suggests that while today has seen more balanced buying than the weekly trend, the overall volume remains subdued compared to the average day.
