Shiba Inu ($SHIB) rallied 22% this weekend amid sudden transfer of 20,841,045,129 tokens from OKX’s hot wallet into the exchange's cold storage, as visible on Arkham, taking over $132,000 worth of $SHIB out of circulation.
Price-wise, the recovery has been fast for the Shiba Inu coin, with it reclaiming $0.0000062 and showing signs of demand absorption. While the crypto market overall remains in extreme fear conditions, the timing of the wallet shuffle suggests a change in $SHIB’s local order book structure.
Why 20,841,045,129 Shiba Inu ($SHIB) just disappeared from OKX order books
Shiba Inu ($SHIB) just had one of its biggest centralized exchange shuffles in weeks. According to on-chain data by Arkham from Feb. 7, 20.84 billion tokens worth about $132,130 were suddenly taken out of OKX's hot wallet and moved into cold storage. The transfer happened during a period of $SHIB testing price levels not seen since early 2023.
With the timing — during a brutal 30% drawdown from week's opening and a consequential 22% recovery — the move prompts some speculation. Could this be a sign of exchange reserve management, plunge protection or order books restructuring?
$SHIB's price is now quoting near $0.00000626 after a failed bounce off the $0.0000068 support level it had hit before. With that in mind, a potential breakdown zone for the Shiba Inu coin remains as low as $0.0000046.
This OKX move is also a rare example of token-specific divergence in a larger trend of meme coin sell-offs. While most altcoins are seeing huge outflows, $SHIB is being locked away, which is usually a sign of long-term supply adjustment. This 20.8 billion $SHIB move could be a big deal, or it could be nothing. Either way, it is not happening just like that.
