The Shiba Inu price is back in the spotlight after a massive Coinbase transfer of 5 trillion SHIB shakes the broader market and sparks speculation across the crypto community. With uncertainty surrounding the intent of the large-scale SHIB transfer, the transaction has drawn significant attention and comments from crypto watchers, especially as it comes on the heels of a recent crash in the meme coin’s price. Related Reading: The US Is A Bitcoin Whale—Arkham Clarifies BTC Holdings After Brief Panic Whale Moves Fuel Shiba Inu Price Speculation A new report from Whale Alert on X social media has confirmed a jaw-dropping transfer of 5 trillion SHIB, worth approximately $69.98 million from crypto exchange Coinbase to an unknown wallet. The move has reignited market discussions, closely following a significant crash in the meme coin’s price that erased weeks of gains. CoinMarketCap’s data shows that Shiba Inu is now trading at $0.000014, down by more than 7% in just a few days. Notably, the 5 trillion SHIB transfer by the anonymous whale has raised eyebrows across the crypto community, with many expressing their astonishment over the sheer size of the transaction and others viewing it as a calculated move. The timing and size of the transfer have also led some to interpret it as a bearish signal, potentially indicating an upcoming sell-off, which could lead to further declines in the meme coin’s price. Others assert that the tokens have been deliberately taken off the active trading market and put into a vault, hinting at a strategic supply reduction. If conditions remain optimal, this could set the stage for a possible liquidity squeeze. In addition, as demand returns to the market, the crypto member states that Shiba Inu could face a thin wall of available supply, potentially triggering a price rebound. What’s more, the lack of clear information regarding the receiving wallet has only added to the speculation, with a community member suggesting that the entity, the 5,000,000,000,000 SHIB transfer, may have been driven by insider knowledge. Typically, whale moves of this magnitude tend to influence market sentiment, potentially triggering sharp price reactions and raising questions about possible coordinated activity. Market Eyes Possible Price Revival Beyond the initial shock of the 5 trillion SHIB transfer and its potential implications on price action and whale activity, many in the crypto space are beginning to draw connections to a broader bullish trend or possible price resurgence. Some crypto members believe that the reemergence of high-value whale entities could be a potential precursor of big price moves. Related Reading: Crypto’s Golden Rule Just Got Broken, According To Analyst Others suggest that this move could trigger the start of a meme coin season, where speculative assets like Shiba Inu or Dogecoin experience renewed investor interest and dramatic price surges. Historically, large and sudden whale movements often precede market-wide interest and price rallies in meme tokens, particularly when those moves significantly shrink supply and hint at potential future accumulation.

Scottie Pippen, the six‑time NBA champion, stirred up the crypto community this week. He put out a poll on X asking his 728,000 followers whether XRP will hit $10 by 2026. Alongside that question, he also threw out bold targets for Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana. The move sent traders and fans buzzing. Related Reading: The US Is A Bitcoin Whale—Arkham Clarifies BTC Holdings After Brief Panic Pippen’s Viral Crypto Poll According to his post, Bitcoin could climb to $233,000, Ethereum to $10,000 and Solana to $1,000. Pippen gave people four choices for each token and let them vote. Travis Turnbull and others in the comments threw their support behind XRP reaching $10, while some thought even 2026 might be too soon. Polls like this tend to draw big crowds, and Pippen’s name carries weight well beyond sports. Which one of these will happen in 2026: • Bitcoin will hit 233k • $ETH will hit $10k • $SOL will hit $1k • $XRP will hit $10 • Your UBER driver will tell you about the @game5ball • Optimus will deliver you food • Aliens will invade • 2pac returns — Scottie Pippen (@ScottiePippen) July 24, 2025 XRP is trading around $3.18 right now. That price is down 2.2% in the past day, though it’s still up 45% for the month. At that level, the token’s market cap sits near $156 billion. To hit $10, XRP would need to swell to about $500 billion based on its roughly 50 billion coins in circulation. That jump would rank it among the world’s biggest assets. Bullish Forecasts From Other Analysts Based on reports, an NFT project founder predicted XRP could top $10 by next year if Bitcoin rockets toward $250,000. A well‑known crypto analyst updated his earlier $4–$5 call to $10 after a surge in bullish momentum. Aaron Arnold, host of Altcoin Daily, went even further with an $11 target by 2025. He called that figure “realistic,” pointing to growing demand and fresh capital flows. Realistic 2025 #altcoin price predictions:$ADA – $4$XRP – $11$INJ – $99$BORG – $3.50$PENGU – $0.10$PUMP – $0.01$SOL – $400 What else? ???? — Altcoin Daily (@AltcoinDaily) July 25, 2025 If XRP ever hit $11, its market cap would soar past $650 billion. That would put it ahead of big names like Mastercard and Tencent on the value charts. Such a move would reshape how people see cross‑border payments and tokenized banking rails. Related Reading: Crypto’s Golden Rule Just Got Broken, According To Analyst What It Takes To Hit $10 Reaching $10 won’t happen on hype alone. XRP still faces legal hurdles in the US. Banks need clear rules before they can embrace it at scale. On‑chain activity must keep rising, and fresh partnerships with payment firms or tech players are a must. At the same time, rival tokens and layer‑2 solutions compete for investor money. Timing is key, too. Crypto often moves in waves, and a bull run can last months or years—but corrections can come fast. Featured image from NBA, chart from TradingView

Ethereum has been gaining ground in recent times, especially among institutional investors, as they believe that the leading altcoin is set to outperform Bitcoin. This is evidenced by the large buys that have dominated ETH as Ethereum treasury companies become a major player in the space. Amid this, billionaire and CEO of Galaxy Digital Investments, Mike Novogratz, has revealed the important level for Ethereum to beat to enter price discovery. Ethereum Price Needs To Cross $4,000 În an interview with SquawkBox, Novogratz points to the recent strength of Ethereum amid rapid accumulation as a reason for it being a better bet than Bitcoin. The major reason outlined for why ETH was a better bet than BTC at this point is the fact that Ethereum treasury companies are now becoming a staple, with two ETH treasury companies, such as SharpLink and GameSquare Holdings, among others, already established and more on the way. Related Reading: XRP Price Showing Quiet Strength As Next Breakout Level Lies At $4.65 As these companies continue to accumulate ETH, the billionaire explains that with not much supply, the Ethereum price is likely to rise. He also brings up the fact that Ethereum has a very powerful narrative, and the market reaching record short levels has also aided its bullishness. Given these, Novogratz explained that the Ethereum price is at least destined to knock on the $4,000 level a few times. Also, once the altcoin is able to take out $4,000, then the billionaire believes that the ETH price will enter into price discovery, which could drive it higher. As Ethereum continues to look like the better bet, he also believes that the altcoin could end up outperforming the Bitcoin price over the next 3-6 months. This gives a short timeframe, especially as Bitcoin has already hit multiple new all-time highs over the past year, and Ethereum is yet to beat its highs from 2021. ETH Is Already Outperforming Bitcoin So far, in the month of July, the Ethereum price has greatly outperformed that of Bitcoin in terms of gains, lending credence to Novogratz’s expectations that the altcoin will outperform the pioneer cryptocurrency. According to data from CryptoRank, ETH is up more than 45% this month already compared to the less than 8% on record for Bitcoin. Related Reading: This Ethereum Descending Broadening Wedge Pattern Looks Similar To 2019-2020, Here’s What Happened Last Time Over the last 90 days, as well, the Ethereum price has doubled to put in more than 100% in gains.

Nevertheless, Bitcoin continues to dominate the market, with BTC dominance sitting above 61% and holding altcoin season at bay. Featured image from Dall.E, chart from TradingView.com
