Binance’s Shiba Inu (SHIB) Balances Continue to Drop

As an experienced analyst with a keen eye for market trends and a deep understanding of the cryptocurrency landscape, I find it intriguing to observe Binance’s recent movements with Shiba Inu (SHIB). While a 0.27% drop over a month might seem insignificant at first glance, the consistent pattern of a 3% decrease over two months is quite notable and worth further investigation.


In summary, Binance, known as the top cryptocurrency trading platform by volume, has made public their proof of reserves. Interestingly, Shiba Inu, a popular meme coin, is one of their significant assets. However, there’s been a significant decrease in Binance’s Shiba Inu holdings over the summer months.

Beginning of June saw Binance holding approximately 62.96 trillion SHIB tokens in its net balance. Currently, that number has decreased to around 62.79 trillion, marking a slight decrease of about 0.27% over the last month.

Although the decrease seems small, there’s clearly been a discernible trend. Initially, Binance was holding around 64.8 trillion Shiba Inu (SHIB) tokens at the beginning of June. However, over the course of two months, Binance’s SHIB reserves have diminished by approximately 3%. This is quite a substantial number of tokens when considering the total amount held.

Based on information from CoinMarketCap, Shiba Inu (SHIB) paired with Tether (USDT) ranks as the 25th most actively traded pair on the Binance exchange, with approximately $85 million in trades happening each day.

What about other assets?  

On Binance, the quantity of Bitcoin holdings is now approximately 613,471, marking a 1.29% growth over the past four weeks.

Over the same timeframe, the exchange’s Ethereum holdings have dropped by a slight 0.21%.

Back in November 2022, Binance began sharing Proof-of-Reserve reports as a means to guarantee openness about their liquidity holdings.

Every month, the custodian shares reports verifying that they have sufficient assets under their management to match each customer’s holdings directly (one-to-one ratio).

It is worth noting that Binance’s corporate holdings are not included in such reports. 

Users can additionally confirm if their assets are accessible within the platform by producing a Merkle proof.
