Shiba Inu Price Plunges as Whale Activity Triggers Sell-off

A recent drop in Shiba Inu’s price, exceeding 10% in late May 2025, has been attributed to significant sell-offs orchestrated by large cryptocurrency holders (whales). This decline coincides with a reduced burn rate for the token, impacting its deflationary model used to maintain stability. Key concerns remain around the project’s leadership, which remains largely anonymous despite efforts to communicate through its founder, Shytoshi Kusama. The upcoming release of a final governance paper hints at ongoing development plans even amidst market turmoil.
