According to external media, while SHIB prices continued to weaken, the dynamism of the relevant futures trading fell on most platforms. Citing several exchange data, the article states that the decline in the number of open contracts has expanded to 8 out of 10 platforms, indicating that the willingness to participate in funds is still declining.
Prices are falling in step with hold
The report mentions that SHIB dropped once a week to US$ 0.000054, a cumulative decline of nearly 67 per cent over the past year. Against the backdrop of continued price pressures, the participation of traders in these meme currencies has decreased significantly, with new space being insufficient and the levelling being faster than the opening.
According to the article, this trend had begun in 2024 and continued in 2025 and 2026. In contrast, the futures contract for XRP is still rising in contrast.
Weaknesses in data from multiple exchanges
- KuCoin Down 11.31%
- MEXC Down 4.08%
- OKX Down 3.37%
In addition, Bitget went down by 2.12 per cent and Gate went down by 2.02 per cent. The article also states that the amount of SHIB derivatives traded has decreased simultaneously: KuCoin has fallen by nearly 70 per cent, Bitget by 41 per cent and MEXC by about 34 per cent. dYdX, LBank and WhiteBIT also fall back.
Foreign sources believe that market heat continues to cool.
According to the article, the silo contracts and trades were declining at the same time, reflecting a weakening of the demand for leverage from SHIB. For meme currencies, this usually means a slowdown in short-term inflows and a decline in market interest.
It was also mentioned that when AI-related assets and subject matter attracted more funds, SHIB would not be easy to re-incentive traders. From the point of view of the text, in the absence of a sustained rebound in prices, the data on the derivatives may not be clearly repaired in the short term.
