Shiba Inu’s exchange reserves have hit a new low, the lowest level since 2023, providing a bullish outlook for the top meme coin. Based on this development, SHIB looks well primed for a parabolic rally, which could happen soon. Shiba Inu’s Exchange Reserves Hit Lowest Level Since 2023 CryptoQuant data shows that Shiba Inu’s exchange reserves have dropped to their lowest level since January 2023. This metric refers to the amount of SHIB that is held in wallets linked to crypto exchanges. As such, the drop in these reserves indicates that there has been a massive accumulation by whales who have been moving coins to cold storage for long-term holding. Related Reading: Shiba Inu Breakout Programmed: Diamond Hands Are Up 783%, SHIB Burn Rate Explodes 1,784% This development is significant as a price surge could follow, with Shiba Inu rallying to new highs. In 2023, as the exchange reserves began to decline, SHIB witnessed a God candle, which sent its price above the psychological $0.00003 level. The meme coin surged from a low of around $0.000007 back then. IntoTheBlock data also shows that Shiba Inu whales are back to accumulating SHIB, which could spark this rally as demand outweighs supply. Over the last week, SHIB’s largest transactions have been steadily climbing from the lows recorded in June when the meme coin fell to the support level at $0.000010. It is also worth noting that Shiba Inu’s correlation with Bitcoin is 0.92, indicating a strong positive correlation between the two assets. As such, the meme coin could also skyrocket as the leading crypto targets new all-time highs (ATHs). BTC is looking to reclaim the $120,000 psychological level, a development which could help SHIB maintain its momentum as it rallies towards $0.000020. Another Rally To $0.000030 In Sight For SHIB In an X post, crypto analyst Javon Marks confirmed that Shiba Inu is eyeing another rally to $0.000030. He stated that in the short term and based on confirmed data, SHIB is expected to reach the $0.000032 level in response to a bullish divergence. The analyst noted that this move itself is over 135% and could only be the start of a larger bullish reversal. Related Reading: Shiba Inu Price Could See 180% Explosion As This Indicator Flashes Bullish Divergence The analyst had earlier revealed that Shiba Inu had confirmed a clear bullish divergence on its Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Marks further remarked that this development points to a nearly 180% upside, which would send the meme coin back to around $0.000032. Meanwhile, crypto analyst Investing Haven also confirmed that the targets of $0.000044 to $0.000066 remain valid for the top meme coin. At the time of writing, the Shiba Inu price is trading at around $0.00001439, up over 5% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

Pakistan and El Salvador have initiated a diplomatic alliance that puts crypto first. It’s the latest in a global shift to improving crypto regulation and adoption. Crypto is the ultimate winner here, and that includes the best crypto presales. On July 16, El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele met with Bilal bin Saqib, Pakistan Crypto Council (PCC) CEO and Minister of State for Crypto and Blockchain. Among the topics discussed were Bitcoin mining and energy resources, strategic Bitcoin reserves, and $BTC education. The result, as reported by Business Recorder, was the signing of a Letter of Intent to establish a formal framework of collaboration between El Salvador’s Bitcoin Office and the PCC. Leading the Bitcoin Charge Why is this meeting making headlines? Well, in 2021, El Salvador became the first country in the world to adopt Bitcoin as a legal currency. Government policy also includes buying $BTC and, as of end-2024, it had amassed more than 5.9K Bitcoins. In other words, El Salvador is very crypto-friendly, and it was the first to set a trend that many governments, including Pakistan and the US, are finally beginning to follow. Pakistan, for its part, has been making definitive moves towards digital asset adoption. This strategic move is set to strengthen Pakistan’s already-growing crypto market. “The country ranks among the top in global crypto adoption, with an estimated $300B in annual crypto transactions and 25M active crypto users,” according to Pakistan’s Finance Ministry. Pakistan sits at the number nine spot in Chainanalysis’ 2024 Global Crypto Adoption Index, out of 151 nations. So far, 2025 has proven to be a busy year for Pakistan’s crypto strategy. In early May, it appointed Saqib to head the newly formed PCC. Around the same time, it also announced a national initiative to power Bitcoin mining and AI data centers by allocating 2 gigawatts of electricity. That was in addition to launching its first government-backed Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, signaling long-term crypto commitment and aiming to attract global investment. Also in May, the government established the Pakistan Digital Assets Authority (PDAA). It’s the PCC’s CEO, however, who’s actively taking the lead in making Pakistan the crypto capital of South Asia. Saqib’s responsibilities include driving efforts to regulate crypto under FATF guidelines, launching national $BTC mining, integrating blockchain across sectors, licensing Virtual Asset Service Providers, and growing Pakistan’s Web3 ecosystem. “Pakistan is done sitting on the sidelines. We want to have regulatory clarity. We need to have a legal framework that is pro-business,” Saqib told Bloomberg earlier this year. “We need institutional adoption. We want banks, we want other enterprises to integrate with blockchain and not fight it. We want Pakistan to be a leader in blockchain-powered finance, and we want to attract international investment.” Crypto Boost To Benefit Presales Wider global adoption of crypto is great for the market. Case in point is the $BTC price, which hit an ATH last week, peaking at $123K just three days ago. It’s not just Bitcoin and little brother Ethereum that are reaping the rewards of widespread adoption. While institutional investors generally favor those two, smaller-cap altcoins have become the go-to for retail investors, according to a recent Wintermute report. With altcoin season about to hit, this segment is one to watch. That goes for the best presale altcoins too. Early-bird investment means buying in at a low cost, with potentially explosive gains down the line. Here’s a quick look at three in particular worth considering. 1. Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) – Unleashes the Power of Bitcoin With an L2 When it comes to blockchain security, nothing beats Bitcoin’s. But high transaction fees and a lack of scalability are issues that put many traders off. That’s where Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) steps up to the plate. It is introducing an innovative Bitcoin Layer-2 (L2) ecosystem that eradicates Bitcoin’s unpleasantries. Integrating the Solana Virtual Machine, $HYPER brings lower transaction costs and sub-second execution to the equation. That alone deserves a round of applause. But hold that thought, because it also introduces cross-chain compatibility, opening the door to meme coins, dApps, and DeFi. Three cheers all round. By the way, we took a look at $HYPER’s tokenomics and we liked what we saw. Of the total token supply of 21B, 30% is allocated to product development. That’s good, because this project will need to evolve if it wants to make good on its promise of scalability. Investor interest in this presale has also been strong, with $3.16M+ already raised. No doubt the concept of a Bitcoin L2 is driving that interest, but high staking rewards definitely sweeten the deal. Right now, you can buy $HYPER for $0.0123 – and stake it for 285% APY. Impressive, no? Discover how to purchase and stake your $HYPER in our guide to buying Bitcoin Hyper. Don’t wait too long, though. Presale prices go up in stages, and the $HYPER price will increase tomorrow. 2. Best Wallet Token ($BEST) – Backing Global Crypto Wallet Market Domination With both institutional and retail investment in crypto booming, that means good news for the crypto wallet market, too. It’s already a very lucrative segment, and one that’s set for exponential growth as crypto becomes more widely adopted. That puts the Best Wallet Token ($BEST) in an excellent position. That’s because it’s the presale token driving the Best Wallet app’s mission to dominate 40% of the global crypto wallet market by the end of next year. Best Wallet stands an excellent chance of making good on its goal. As a leading crypto wallet, it’s a no-KYC, non-custodial, multi-chain, and multi-currency hot wallet designed for crypto newbies and pros alike. And now $BEST is powering additional features and benefits for holders. Holding $BEST means lower transaction costs and higher staking rewards. You also enjoy governance rights, meaning you can have your say in the project’s direction and future features. What’s more, you can also buy the top presale tokens directly from the Best Wallet app. That, by the way, is an industry first. With $13.96M+ already in the $BEST kitty, this presale is going strong. Find out how to buy $BEST today for $0.025345 – and stake it for 98% APY rewards – by checking out our guide to buying Best Wallet Token. 3. Lightchain AI ($LCAI) – A Fusion of Blockchain and AI for Next-Gen Apps. Lightchain AI (LCAI) is the token behind a decentralized system that will fuse blockchain and AI to power next-gen apps. At its core is the AI Virtual Machine (AIVM), which is designed for AI task execution, and a Proof of Intelligence mechanism that incentivizes valuable computing work. By tackling key issues like scalability, trust, and data privacy, Lightchain AI will deliver a fair and secure environment for both users and developers, using blockchain transparency and AI strength to support dApps that solve real-world problems. The presale has already raised $21.77M+, and Stage 15 of the $LCAI presale was recently completed. The project has now launched a final Bonus Round ahead of its mainnet launch. That means one last chance to buy $LCA at the fixed presale price of $0.007125. ‘Tis the Season To Be Jolly Bullish sentiment abounds as more governments and institutions warm towards crypto. And that’s not only good for the crypto OGs – presale tokens are also coming along for the ride. However, whether $HYPER, $BEST, or $LCAI – or any crypto for that matter – has caught your attention, please be sure to always DYOR first. Knowledge is your best investment strategy to help lower your risk.
