Perhaps the most evident reasons for the pullback are the bearish conditions across the entire market and waning interest in the meme coin niche.<\/p>\n<p>Other potential factors include the recent whale activity. The X account BSCN <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/BSCNews\/status\/2069708105500311591\">revealed<\/a> that a Shiba Inu investor who purchased 17.4% of the token\u2019s supply in August 2020 for less than $14,000 has moved 600 billion SHIB (worth $2.83 million) to a ForwarderV4 address.<\/p>\n<p>While some interpreted the move as a pre-sale step, BSCN clarified that nothing has been confirmed yet and promised to unveil further details in time. The X account also noted that the whale\u2019s position was worth a whopping $9.1 billion when SHIB\u2019s price reached an all-time high in 2021.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on the meme coin was also James Wynn. The trader, known for his highly risky crypto bets, <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/JamesWynnReal\/status\/2070085221685543409\">described<\/a> the asset as \u201cold, dead, and boring,\u201d predicting a potential revival in 5-10 years when \u201ca bit of nostalgia\u201d can bring it back.<\/p>\n<p>Despite its price slump, SHIB has once again secured its position as the second-largest meme coin. This happened after MemeCore (M) <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/market-meltdown-memecore-crashes-76-as-mim-breaks-peg-to-0-50\/\">nosedived<\/a> by 76% in a single day amid allegations of manipulation. Dogecoin (DOGE) remains the undisputed leader of the niche with a market capitalization of almost $11.5 billion, while SHIB has less than $2.5 billion.<\/p>\n<h2>More Pain Ahead?<\/h2>\n<p>The crypto market\u2019s conditions <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/deja-vu-bitcoin-tumbles-below-59k-as-strategys-mstr-crumbles-again\/\">remain<\/a> unstable (to say the least), which could result in further declines for SHIB in the near term. The rising amount of tokens stored on crypto exchanges is another bearish factor.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier in June, the figure <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/key-shiba-inu-metric-plunges-to-a-5-year-low-shib-price-rally-on-the-way\/\">dropped<\/a> to a five-year low, but since then it has headed north sharply, suggesting that investors have been abandoning self-custody solutions and moving to centralized platforms, thereby increasing the likelihood of an additional sell-off.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1441022\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1441022\" style=\"width: 1530px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/SHIB-Exchange-Balance.png\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1441022 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/SHIB-Exchange-Balance.png\" alt=\"SHIB Exchange Balance\" width=\"1530\" height=\"737\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/SHIB-Exchange-Balance.png 1530w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/SHIB-Exchange-Balance-300x145.png 300w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/SHIB-Exchange-Balance-1024x493.png 1024w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/SHIB-Exchange-Balance-768x370.png 768w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/SHIB-Exchange-Balance-90x43.png 90w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/SHIB-Exchange-Balance-150x72.png 150w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/SHIB-Exchange-Balance-1400x674.png 1400w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/SHIB-Exchange-Balance-1200x578.png 1200w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/SHIB-Exchange-Balance-1000x482.png 1000w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/SHIB-Exchange-Balance-900x434.png 900w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/SHIB-Exchange-Balance-800x385.png 800w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/SHIB-Exchange-Balance-700x337.png 700w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/SHIB-Exchange-Balance-600x289.png 600w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/SHIB-Exchange-Balance-500x241.png 500w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/SHIB-Exchange-Balance-400x193.png 400w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/SHIB-Exchange-Balance-200x96.png 200w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/SHIB-Exchange-Balance-100x48.png 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1530px) 100vw, 1530px\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1441022\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">SHIB Exchange Balance, Source: CryptoQuant<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/shiba-inu-shib-crashes-to-a-5-year-low-yet-makes-an-unexpected-comeback-details\/\">Shiba Inu (SHIB) Crashes to a 5-Year Low, Yet Makes an Unexpected Comeback: Details<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">CryptoPotato<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The self-proclaimed Dogecoin killer followed the red wave sweeping through the broader crypto market, with its price collapsing to its lowest level since May 2021.
