Shiba Inu (SHIB) is witnessing a significant shift on centralized exchanges, as fresh on-chain data reveals that the meme coin’s reserves have plunged below the $1 billion mark following a massive withdrawal spree. While this decline may seem concerning at first glance, historical trends suggest that such large-scale withdrawals often indicate a shift from selling to accumulation in the long term. Shiba Inu Exchange Reserves Plunge To New Lows According to data from CryptoQuant, Shiba Inu’s exchange reserves have experienced a steep drop in recent months. As of September 28, 2024, SHIB’s supply across exchanges was approximately 143.62 trillion tokens, equivalent to over $1.5 billion at the time. However, by Monday, September 29 2025, reserves have thinned down significantly to 84.55 trillion tokens, valued at just under $998 million at current market rates. Related Reading: Is Shiba Inu At Risk Of Losing Its Second-Largest Meme Coin Position To PEPE And MemeCore? Based on this timeline, the supply of Shiba Inu on exchanges has decreased by a whopping 59.1 trillion tokens in just one year. This marks the lowest level of SHIB held on exchanges since 2023, highlighting a shift in investor sentiment as withdrawals flood the market. Notably, the sharpest decline in Shiba Inu’s exchange reserves this year was recorded on January 7. At the time, holdings across these centralized platforms fell to 107.84 trillion SHIB, marking a drop of more than 33 trillion tokens from January 6, when reserves stood at roughly 140.79 trillion coins. Since then, SHIB’s exchange balances have continued to shrink, decreasing week by week. The decline in available supply suggests that investors may be moving their tokens into self-custody or staking options, thereby reducing risks from widespread selling pressure. Historically, when exchange reserves plummet, assets become scarcer for trading, creating conditions in which price pressure can develop if demand increases. At the same time, SHIB’s price has faced turbulence in recent months. The token is currently trading at around $0.000011, down from its local highs earlier this year. However, analysts like ’SHIB KNIGHT’ on X social media believe that the current dip represents a buying opportunity, pointing out that the meme coin has entered a key accumulation zone. He argues that long-term holders are capitalizing on lower valuations, slowly adding to each dip. Technical Signals Hint At SHIB Price Breakout While Shiba Inu’s exchange supply declines, technical charts suggest that the meme coin may be preparing for its next price breakout. According to market expert ‘SHIB Mortal,’ Shiba Inu is showing signs of setting up for an “Uptober” rally. His chart analysis highlights a descending resistance trendline that the coin has repeatedly tested, paired with strong support around the $0.000010 zone. Related Reading: Why Shiba Inu Price Could Explode 100% With This Descending Pattern On The 2D Chart SHIB Mortal’s chart illustrates a potential reversal pattern forming, where the meme coin could bounce off current support, reclaim the trendline, and ignite a possible rally to $0.000019 by October. This move would mark a surge of over 70% from current levels around $0.000011. Featured image from Getty Images, chart from Tradingview.com

According to reports from Egrag Crypto, a statistical model now being applied to XRP points to a wide range of possible outcomes — from a modest climb to an extreme rally. The coin is trading near $2.86 and has fallen about 2% over the past week, which the firm says sits it near an important junction on a long-term trend line. Related Reading: Eric Trump Steps Into Market Talk, Says ‘Buy The Dips’ Let’s check these numbers: a monthly linear regression plotted on a logarithmic scale, with an R-squared of 0.847. That figure is being used to argue that the model explains roughly 80% of past price movement. Monthly Regression Model On Log Scale Egrag’s model is statistical and simple in form, but it is plotted in a way traders often use to read long-term cycles. According to Egrag, XRP has touched the upper limit of that regression channel on three separate occasions, and those past touches inform the present forecast. #XRP – Hit, Miss, or Over Shoot? ( $27, $18 Or $200)???? The chart below is based on the monthly time frame and reflects our analysis of hits, misses, and overshoots using linear regression on a log scale. This analysis is grounded in a 2-standard deviation model. Key Info -… pic.twitter.com/x6M7gEx5Jg — EGRAG CRYPTO (@egragcrypto) August 27, 2025 In one cycle, XRP overshot the channel by 570% during the 2017–2018 run. In contrast, the 2021 peak landed about 45% below the same boundary. Those past outcomes are being translated into three possible paths for the current phase: a standard hit to $27; a repeat of the 2021 shortfall to about $18; or an extreme overshoot that would push the price toward $200. Three Potential Price Paths The math makes the scale of those options clear. Moving from $2.86 to $18 would mean a rise of about 530%. A leap to $200 would imply a gain of roughly 6,890%. At $200, XRP’s market capitalization would sit near $12 trillion under current supply assumptions; a $27 level would imply a market cap north of $1.6 trillion. Those headline numbers have prompted sharp pushback online, with critics calling the most ambitious forecasts unrealistic given current adoption and liquidity conditions. Crypto Expert’s View Placed In Context Meanwhile, market observers have pointed to XRP’s unusual longevity. Vandell Aljarrah, co-founder of Black Swan Capitalist, reminded readers that XRP traded around $0.00589 in August 2013 and still ranks among the larger tokens today at about $2.78 in recent posts. XRP traded at just $0.00589 in August 2013. 10 years later, still a top-10 asset at $2.78. Most tokens die within a cycle. This kind of resilience doesn’t happen by accident. Assets that survive this long don’t disappear, they usually compound. That’s called staying power. — Vandell | Black Swan Capitalist (@vandell33) September 27, 2025 Reports of that long track record are being used to argue that XRP has a level of staying power many other projects lack. That history does not prove future gains, but it does add a practical footnote when weighing bold forecasts against plain skepticism. Related Reading: When Will XRP Reach $25? Bitcoin Investor Shares A Bold Prediction Possible Outcomes And Market Reality The range from $18 to $200 captures both conservative and extreme views. Based on the regression, EGRAG treats the mid and lower outcomes as the more likely of the three, while the $200 case is cast as a best-case overshoot that would depend on factors far beyond the model itself.
