The Shibarium network, an Ethereum Layer 2 network that was developed and launched by the Shiba Inu team, did well following its initial launch in August 2023. However, less than one year following its launch, the Layer 2 network has run into some hard times, losing market share to larger counterparts. This has led to a decline in activity for the network as a whole, and so far this week, the Shibarium network has seen a major decline in active accounts. Shibarium Active Accounts Drop 80.3% In 4 Days The Shibarium network is currently struggling with adoption of the blockchain as its parent Layer 1 blockchain, Ethereum, is fighting against the likes of Solana to keep its users. Furthermore, Ethereum Layer 2 networks such as Base by Coinbase have also drawn out a reasonable number of decentralized finance (DeFi) users, putting it ahead of Shibarium. Related Reading: Golden Cross Appears On XRP Price Chart, Factors That Could Drive A Fresh Rally As a result of this, the Shibarium network has been unable to keep users, leading to a decline in active addresses. According to data from ShibariumScan, active accounts at the start of the week, on Sunday, July 21, were sitting at a mere 667. As the week has drawn on, this already small figure has crashed further down. On Wednesday, July 24, the total active accounts recorded on the Shibarium network was only 131. This means that between Sunday and Wednesday, the total active accounts on the Ethereum Layer 2 network had plummeted by 80.3%. In the same vein, there has also been a notable decline in new transactions. This metric saw a total of 6,353 transactions on Sunday. However, by Wednesday, the figures had declined to 1,023, representing an approximately 84% decline. Likewise, the number of new blocks mined dropped 66.6% from 17,220 on Tuesday to 5,739 on Wednesday. These all show that interest in the Shibarium network is completely down with number of new accounts created was only 11 on Tuesday, July 23. Playing With The Big Dogs While the popularity and success of Shiba Inu over the years played into the anticipation for the Shibarium network, it has failed to live up to the app. When it comes to Ethereum Layer 2 networks that were launched between 2023 and 2024, the Shibarium network doesn’t hold up a candle to these other players. Currently, the Total Value Locked (TVL) on the Shibarium network is only $1.5 million, according to data from DeFiLlama. In contrast, Coinbase’s Base network was launched in the same month of August 2023 as Shibarium currently boasts $2.175 billion in TVL. Related Reading: Analyst Says Solana Price Will Surge 1,000% To $1,800, Here’s When The Linea network was launched a few months before Shibarium in March 2023, and the Layer 2 network currently has a TVL of $1.198 billion. Likewise, the BLAST network, which was launched much later in February 2024, has $1.47 billion in TVL. What this suggests is that the Shibarium network may have failed, given its incredibly low usage. However, there is always the question of if the Layer 2 network will be able to rise from the ashes and become a top DeFi contender once again.

With the vast popularity of Shiba Inu in the crypto space and millions of investors holding the SHIB token, the direction of the price has always been an interesting and hotly debated topic. Expectations are that the meme coin will continue to rise drastically as theme coins become some of the frontrunners of the crypto market, and many analysts agree. Even a machine learning algorithm has predicted that the Shiba Inu price will surge in the next few days. Machine Learning Algorithm Predicts 119% Surge The CoinCodex machine learning algorithm, taking into account a number of indicators, has concluded that the Shiba Inu price is extremely bullish from here. According to the website, sentiment toward the meme coin is still very bearish, which is usually a good time to buy and when a bounce is more likely. Addition the Fear & Greed Index is still sitting at a score of 71 representing Greed. This means more willingness among investors to put money in the market. Related Reading: Crypto Analyst Says XRP Is Still On Course To Rise To $150 The predictions from the machine learning algorithm span various time periods, but the one of interest is the 5-day prediction. As the data from the website shows, the machine learning algorithm is expecting the Shiba Inu price to double in less than one week. At the time of writing, the Shiba Inu price is still skirting around the $0.000017 level, and the price prediction puts it at $0.00003839. Such a price increase for the SHIB price would mean a 119.45% increase in less than a week. However, on a longer time frame, which is 30 days, the machine learning algorithm expects the price to turn bearish again. It puts it at a price of $0.00001686, which is a 3.66% decline from the current price. But would be an over 50% decline if the price does hit $0.00003839 in the next five days as predicted. When Will Shiba Inu Reach A New All-Time High? Despite the bullishness of the past year, the Shiba Inu price has failed to reclaim its 2021 all-time high of $0.00008845. Its current value puts it around 80% below this all-time high price, meaning that the meme coin still has a long way to go before it sets a new peak. According to the CoinCodex machine learning algorithm, investors in the Shiba Inu meme coin may be waiting a long time before this happens. The longer timeframe forecasts expect that the Shiba Inu price will hit a new all-time high in the year 2029 and rise as high as $0.000156. This would mean that it would take another half a decade before those who bought at the peak in October 2021 to see profit on their holdings again.

WazirX, one of India’s largest cryptocurrency exchanges, suffered a security breach on Thursday that resulted in the loss of $230 million, nearly half of its reserves. The exchange referred to the incident as a “force majeure event.” However, the repercussions extend beyond WazirX alone, casting a shadow of uncertainty over Shiba Inu (SHIB) holders. Panic Sell-Off Fears Rise Blockchain analytics firm Elliptic analyzed the breach, revealing that approximately $235 million worth of various crypto assets were lost, including Shiba Inu ($96.7 million), Ethereum ($52.6 million), Polygon (MATIC) ($11 million), Pepe ($7.6 million), Tether’s USDT ($5.7 million), and Floki Inu (FLOKI) ($4.7 million). Related Reading: WazirX Exchange Releases Post-Mortem Report: Was North Korea Behind The $235M Exploit? As news of the breach spread, Julio Moreno, head of research at CryptoQuant, reported a surge in people rushing to exchanges to sell their assets. Notably, over 5 trillion SHIB tokens flooded exchanges within a few hours, intensifying concerns about a potential major sell-off wave. The impact on Shiba Inu’s price was evident, with the token experiencing a sharp decline of nearly 10% following the exploit to its current trading price of $0.000017. It was also disclosed that The hacker responsible for the WazirX breach sold off $102.1 million worth of SHIB tokens, according to on-chain data firm Arkham, contributing to the downtrend. However, reports indicate that market makers such as Wintermute intervened by purchasing SHIB from decentralized exchanges (DEX) and selling it on centralized exchanges, mitigating a further price drop for the token. Shiba Inu Price Analysis In the future, the extent of the sell-off and its impact is a concern, as investors’ decisions to sell their holdings as panic mounts could further exacerbate the current downtrend. Examining the SHIB/USD daily chart reveals three significant support lines expected to impede further downward movement. The first and relatively less significant support is anticipated to be around the $0.000014 zone. This level previously marked the end of a correction in early July, followed by a recovery towards $0.000020. Should selling pressure breach this level, attention turns to the crucial 6-month support at $0.000012. SHIB bulls must hold this level to prevent a deeper decline if significant buying pressure fails to materialize. Lastly, the $0.0000092 mark represents the ultimate threshold for bullish investors in the Shiba Inu coin. A breach of this level would potentially trigger a revisit to the token’s all-time low levels. Related Reading: MOVR Bulls Assemble: Crypto Analyst Says A 2,000% Surge To $234 Is Imminent Conversely, if SHIB experiences a recovery, the 200-day exponential moving average (EMA), depicted as the yellow line on the SHIB/USD chart, could act as a resistance point. This resistance will come into play if bullish sentiment controls SHIB’s price action. Featured image from DALL-E, chart from TradingView.com
