The cumulative total of these transactions amounts to 1.674 trillion SHIB, highlighting significant activity by large Shiba Inu holders, commonly referred to as "whales."
The transfer of such a large quantity of SHIB tokens to Coinbase could indicate several potential scenarios. One possibility is that these whales might be preparing to sell their holdings. One of the reasons why tokens get moved to exchanges might be to sell, another might be for staking or trading.
Alternatively, the transfer might be a mere reshuffling by Coinbase itself or a move by a large holder to take advantage of Coinbase's liquidity and trading features. That said, the exact reason for the shift remains unknown.
While it remains uncertain the fate of the 1.6 trillion SHIB that landed on Coinbase, the SHIB community is watching closely.

In the past 24 hours, there have been a total of 34,912,694 SHIB tokens burned, according to the Shibburn website.
This significant increase in the burn rate has sparked enthusiasm among the SHIB community, as it contributes to ongoing attempts to reduce the token's supply while potentially increasing its scarcity and value.
