Wallets holding at least 1 million BONE quietly grew their positions by over 4% in April — a detail that might say more about where this token is headed than any single-week spike in new addresses. Related Reading: XRP Signals Imminent Breakout — Is A 10% Rally Coming? Validator Activity Drives Holder Surge BONE, the gas token powering Shiba Inu’s Layer-2 blockchain Shibarium, crossed 93,000 holder addresses this week after adding 5,653 new wallets in seven days. That weekly growth rate hit 87%, a sharp jump from the prior week. According to the Shibizens X account, operated by the Shibarium team, most of that growth traces back to validator re-delegations on the network rather than a wave of new retail buyers. Etherscan data confirmed the total at 93,010 at the time of reporting. $BONE holder count has surpassed 93,000 addresses. ???? +5,653 new holders in the last 7 days → ~87% increase vs the previous week Key drivers: • Validator re-delegations on Shibarium Observed trends: • Tokens moving off exchanges into non-custodial wallets • Increased… pic.twitter.com/svq50JlfYP — Shibarium | SHIB.IO (@Shibizens) April 23, 2026 On-chain data also shows BONE tokens moving away from centralized exchanges and into non-custodial wallets. Reports from Shibizens indicate transaction activity is climbing alongside an expanding active user base — trends that typically point to reduced short-term selling pressure and growing user confidence in the network. Big Wallets Holding Long, Holding More The 4.2% position increase among large holders in April has pushed their collective share to almost 60% of total supply. These top wallets aren’t new to the token. Based on reports from Shibizens, their average holding period sits around 412 days — well over a year — suggesting major participants are focused on Shibarium’s longer-term trajectory rather than reacting to short-term price swings. Trading volume also moved sharply higher, rising 51.77% over a 24-hour window to reach $1.7 million. That spike in volume came even as BONE’s price remained under pressure, trading around $0.05766 — a 2.5% drop in a single day. Price Gap Remains A Heavy Overhang The numbers paint a complicated picture. Year-to-date, BONE has lost 28% of its value. Over the past month alone, it shed more than 10%. Those losses are part of a much larger decline that has stretched over years. Related Reading: Stablecoins Go Institutional As Morgan Stanley Rolls Out New Portfolio BONE once traded at $41.67 — its all-time high, reached in September 2021. At its current price, the token sits 99.86% below that peak. The gap between where BONE trades today and where it once stood is something no single week of holder growth can paper over. The BONE network surpassed 93,000 holders following what the Shibarium team is calling a massive weekly surge. Whether the holder growth, rising volume, and accumulation by large wallets point to something bigger — or simply reflect routine network activity — remains to be seen.

Shiba Inu has recorded a notable surge in spot trading activity on several exchanges over the last seven days. This provides a bullish outlook for the second-largest meme coin by market cap, which has been one of the underperformers in this market cycle. Shiba Inu Sees Surge In Spot Trading Activity CoinGlass data show a 154% surge in Shiba Inu USD spot trading volume on Kraken over the last seven days. There has also been a significant surge on other major exchanges, such as Binance, Bybit, OKX, and Gemini, during the same period. This indicates that spot buyers may be stepping in to defend the SHIB price at a critical support amid the broader crypto market decline. Related Reading: Will A Shiba Inu ETF Follow After Dogecoin? The Lone SHIB Filing Standing Against The Crowd Notably, Shiba Inu is one of the altcoins that are in the green over the last week, suggesting that the bulls may be in control at the moment. CoinMarketCap data shows that the second-largest meme coin by market cap is up almost 7% during this period despite Bitcoin’s choppy price action. Meanwhile, further data from CoinGlass also shows that most leverage traders are currently betting on an increase in the Shiba Inu price, with the long/short ratio currently above 1. However, it is worth noting that derivatives volume is down by over 10% and open interest is down by almost 4%, which presents a bearish outlook for the meme coin. Another positive for Shiba Inu, besides the surge in spot trading volume, is that the Fed is likely to cut interest rates again at this week’s FOMC meeting. This could inject more liquidity into the crypto market, with altcoins like SHIB benefiting from it. Meanwhile, Bitcoin is currently looking to hold above the psychological $90,000 level, which could pave the way for higher prices for SHIB given their positive correlation. Community Gives Update On SHIB’s Progress In an X post, Shiba Inu community member Shibizens gave an update on SHIB’s progress over the last few days. The community member noted that over 45 billion SHIB have been moved off exchanges, indicating that holders are accumulating. Shibizens also alluded to a $35 million whale transfer into a private wallet, suggesting that SHIB whales are also bullish. Related Reading: Will The Shiba Inu Price Hit A New All-Time High In 2025?

Meanwhile, NYSE Arca has filed the 19b-4 for T. Rowe’s Shiba Inu ETF, bringing the ETF one step closer to launch. Shibuzens also highlighted upgrades on the Shibarium network, which could provide a major boost for SHIB. This includes the RPC upgrade, while a full privacy upgrade has been confirmed using encrypted tech. There are plans to roll this out by next year. At the time of writing, the Shiba Inu price is trading at around $0.000008498, up in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Featured image from Peakpx, chart from Tradingview.com
According to reports, it has been three months since the Shibarium Bridge hack that drained more than $3 million from users, yet the case has not moved into formal law enforcement channels.

The laundering path involved 111 wallets and 45 unique KuCoin deposits, according to a public breakdown by a community investigator known as Shima.

(@CryptoPulse9) December 1, 2025 Practical Roadblocks To Recovery Tracing crypto through mixers remains difficult, even when the ledger gives clues. Exchanges often need subpoena power, legal requests or a case number to share account details. That requirement can leave strong on-chain leads stuck if a project does not file a police report. Community investigators can point the way, but many of the next steps depend on formal legal action and cross-border cooperation. Exchange Action Hinges On Case Number After Shima handed the findings to the project team, members of the community and teams such as K9 Finance stepped in. One representative, using the handle DeFi Turtle, reached out to KuCoin to ask that the exchange freeze the suspected funds. KuCoin replied that it would require a formal law enforcement case number before taking such action, based on the messages that have circulated in community channels. Without a police report, the exchange said it could not legally provide internal records or lock the linked accounts. Sleuth Offers Evidence To Victims Faced with slow institutional movement, Shima has offered the full dataset, the mapping work and the methodology to victims and to any law enforcement body willing to act. Victims in different countries may need to lodge complaints locally to create the case numbers that exchanges demand.

Cook’s criticism centers on the idea that technical analysis alone may not be enough; a legal filing is often required to make exchanges cooperate.

The cryptocurrency market has been on edge in recent weeks, and two of its most recognized meme tokens, Dogecoin and Shiba Inu, have suffered the brunt of the sell-off. Both coins have seen significant price drops with low bullish whale activity, declining on-chain performance, and worsening market sentiment. Dogecoin’s fall is aggravated by large holders selling massive amounts of tokens, while Shiba Inu’s troubles are due to its inability to sustain liquidity and demand through its layer-2 network, Shibarium. Together, their price crashes reflect the unease among retail traders concerning the two meme coins. Dogecoin And Shiba Inu Crashing Dogecoin and Shiba Inu’s price action has crashed notably in the past seven days. Dogecoin, for one, fell as high as 17% in a seven-day timeframe, and Shiba Inu also witnessed a comparable 12% drop. Related Reading: Dogecoin Whales Are Offloading Hundreds Of Millions Of DOGE, Here Are The Facts Notably, on-chain data shows that Dogecoin’s recent crash was ignited by a large-scale sell-off from whale wallets holding between 10 and 100 million DOGE. The numbers show that these wallets offloaded roughly one billion coins within seven days. The resulting cascade effect pushed Dogecoin below a key support level near $0.18, which in turn triggered additional liquidations across derivatives markets. As it stands, Dogecoin’s market capitalization had dropped from almost $30 billion to roughly $24.7 billion in the past seven-day timeframe. Trading volume has also surged massively within the past 24 hours, with most of the activity being selling pressure. Shiba Inu has faced its own share of bearish troubles in the past few days. Shiba Inu’s price action fell to around $0.0000089, its lowest price since January 2024. The token’s decline has been compounded by weak liquidity, low trading volume, and a marked slowdown in network activity. Technical indicators confirm its prolonged downtrend, with Shiba Inu trading well below its 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day moving averages. Its Relative Strength Index is below 34, suggesting weak momentum with no sign of bullish divergence. Outlook: Can Dogecoin And Shiba Inu Recover? Both Dogecoin and Shiba Inu mostly depend on community hype, and that is virtually nonexistent as it stands. The wider crypto market downtrend in the past 24 hours has done nothing to help either, with many cryptocurrencies weakening against the growing dollar index. The entire crypto market fell by as much as 4% in the past 24-hour timeframe. Related Reading: Shiba Inu Open Interest Crash To 2024 Levels, Is It Game Over For The Meme Coin? However, crypto history shows that meme coins tend to bounce strongly once overall crypto sentiment improves. Dogecoin’s long-term support around $0.15-$0.17 has always served as a turning point, while Shiba Inu’s oversold RSI could eventually draw bargain hunters if market conditions stabilize. For now, their recovery depends heavily on a better retail engagement and a strong market-wide relief rally, neither of which seems imminent in the short term. At the time of writing, Dogecoin is trading at $0.164 and is looking like it can reclaim its $0.17 support. Shiba Inu, on the other hand, is trading at $0.00000897.

Crypto analyst Javon Marks has revealed that Shiba Inu has completed a bullish setup and that a rally of around 138% may be on the horizon. Fundamentals such as the new SEC rule also provide a bullish outlook for the foremost meme coin. Shiba Inu’s Bullish Setup Hints At 138% Rally In an X post, Marks said that Shiba Inu’s setup is still hinting at a rally of over 138%, which would send the SHIB price back to around $0.000032. He added that it is only a matter of time for this move to materialize as a bull signal holds confirmed, hinting at this move for the top meme coin. Related Reading: Shiba Inu Bulls Are Back: Here’s The 512 Billion SHIB Accumulation That Triggered A Spark Before now, Marks had highlighted a divergence confirmation for Shiba Inu, which led to his prediction that a bullish reversal could still be in the cards for the meme coin. SHIB has underperformed up till now, with a year-to-date (YTD) loss of around 38%. However, the analyst has claimed that SHIB could still rally to as high as $0.000081, which would bring it close to its current all-time high (ATH). The potential launch of a Shiba Inu ETF could be one of the catalysts that spark a parabolic run for the SHIB price. Marketing lead Lucie noted that SHIB has regulated futures on Coinbase, which makes it eligible for an ETF listing under the generic listing standards that the SEC just approved. Lucie stated that the big picture for Shiba Inu is that SHIB now joins the “ETF-watchlist club” with other futures-backed cryptos. She added that even before a SHIB-only ETF, the meme coin could be bundled into a multi-asset-backed ETF. A Shiba Inu ETF would inject new liquidity into the meme coin’s ecosystem and could spark higher prices. New ATH Incoming For SHIB In an X post, crypto analyst Shib Spain declared that a new ATH is incoming for Shiba Inu. He stated that the meme coin will bounce “hard” off the support zone around $0.000013 and rally to new highs. Crypto analyst Ragnar Shib remarked that SHIB is heating up, having recorded a 19% gain in the last 90 days. Related Reading: Shiba Inu Diamond Hands Are Refusing To Sell, Bulls Eye $0.00009 ATH The analyst stated that Shiba Inu remains the number one meme token on Ethereum and is fully decentralized, boasting a growing ecosystem that includes the layer-2 network Shibarium, as well as DeFi and NFT products. Crypto analyst Investing Haven highlighted that auto burns and the Shibarium upgrades continue within the SHIB ecosystem, which has helped reduce the circulating supply. However, he warned that the risk associated with the Shiba Inu ecosystem remains high. He also noted that SHIB is witnessing a tactical pullback, although the bull structure is still evolving. In line with this, he advised investors to track the burn rate and fixes in the Shiba Inu ecosystem. At the time of writing, the Shiba Inu price is trading at around $0.00001325, down in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

The BONE token involved in the flash loan attack has nearly erased the initial spike alongside losses in top memecoins.
Shiba Inu developers offered a bounty to the attacker in exchange for the return of the funds, as investigations into the incident continue.
The attacker used a flash loan to buy 4.6 million BONE tokens, gain majority validator power, and siphon assets from the bridge.
Shiba Inu’s layer-2 network, Shibarium, has suffered a significant decline in its daily transaction metric, providing a bearish outlook for the top meme coin. This comes as the SHIB price looks to stage a rebound alongside the broader crypto market. Shiba Inu’s Shibarium Suffers Crash In Daily Transactions Shibariumscan data shows that daily transactions on Shiba Inu’s layer-2 network crashed from just over 4 million on August 23 to 1.09 million on August 24. The crash further extended on August 25 as the network recorded 624,140 transactions on the day, which represented a 2-month low for the layer-2 network. Related Reading: Shiba Inu Exchange Supply Drops Toward New Lows, What This Means For Price Meanwhile, Shiba Inu’s Shibarium recorded 1.76 million transactions on August 26, which is still significantly below the average of 4 million daily transactions it has maintained for some time. This development is typically bearish for the SHIB price, as a decrease in the network’s daily transactions leads to fewer token burns. The Shiba Inu team deploys some of the fees earned on Shibarium for SHIB burns, which helps reduce the token’s circulating supply and could serve as a catalyst for higher prices as demand increases. Notably, Shibburn data shows that the burn rate is down over 87% in the last seven days, with 8.8 million tokens burned during this period. However, a positive is that the Shiba Inu burns increased over 500% in the last 24 hours, with 1 million tokens burned during this period. This trend might not be sustainable if the daily transactions on Shibarium continue to drop. Meanwhile, other major metrics on the layer-2 network are also on a downtrend at the moment. This includes the number of active and new accounts, which highlight the network’s growth over a period of time. Bullish Case For The SHIB Price Amid the drop in these Shiba Inu’s Shibarium metrics, crypto analyst Javon Marks has made a bullish case for the SHIB price. In an X post, he stated that the structure of SHIB’s Inverse Head and Shoulders pattern remains intact and is currently in the final shoulder area of it. Based on this, he declared that the meme coin might be on the brink of a substantial surge. Related Reading: Shiba Inu Head And Shoulders Pattern Signals 540% Upshoot To New All-Time Highs If the breakout occurs, Marks claimed that the target is over 540% away at $0.000081, which could pave the way into new all-time highs (ATHs) for Shiba Inu. The SHIB price’s current ATH is $0.00008845, which it reached in October 2021. Meanwhile, fundamentals like the Shib Alpha Layer may help contribute to any potential surge in the SHIB price. At the time of writing, the Shiba Inu price is trading at around $0.00001253, up over 2% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

Shiba Inu’s blockchain platform, Shibarium, is reportedly stepping beyond its original role as a Layer 2 (L2) scaling solution. In a recent announcement, the development team revealed that Shibarium is now positioned as the core infrastructure for a decentralized, community-led future, highlighting its broader functionality and long-term vision for the evolving ecosystem. Shibarium Evolves Beyond Layer 2 Solution On August 4, the Shiba Inu team behind Shibarium clarified in an X social media post that the platform is more than just a Layer 2 scaling solution. They described it as a robust infrastructure designed to power a fully decentralized, community-driven ecosystem. This positioning marks a strategic expansion of Shibarium’s role in the broader blockchain space, emphasizing its importance as a foundational layer for both innovation and governance. Related Reading: Shiba Inu Team Unveils New Developer Hub Updates — Here’s The 411 Initially introduced as a Layer 2 built on the Ethereum blockchain to provide scalable and low-cost transactions, Shibarium’s evolution reflects a deliberate shift towards multifunctional utility. The team has outlined the platform’s capacity to support on-chain governance structures, Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs), Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs), and real-world applications. This indicates Shibarium’s readiness to serve as a multi-purpose blockchain ecosystem rather than a single-purpose scaling solution. Another key component highlighted by the Shiba Inu team is Shibarium’s ability to allow developers to build freely on the network while empowering communities to govern their protocols independently. This dual emphasis on infrastructure and self-governance aligns with the core principles of decentralization, giving Shibarium the potential to become a breeding ground for next-generation blockchain applications. Compared to other Layer 2 solutions that primarily focus on throughput and transaction fees, the Shiba Inu team notes that Shibarium integrates the above features within a framework geared toward long-term sustainability and utility. In doing so, the team presents Shibarium as a dynamic platform where resilience and innovation converge to support a decentralized future. WoofSwap Proposes Major Updates For Shibarium WoofSwap, a key community voice within the Shiba Inu ecosystem, released a set of reform proposals on X, aimed at enhancing Shibarium’s scalability, utility, and overall appeal. At the center of the suggestions is a potential revision to the 20 million BONE token allocation, with WoofSwap urging community input to fine-tune the distribution. Related Reading: Shiba Inu Bearish Reversal Setup Says Dump Below $0.000013 Is Coming Alongside tokenomics adjustments, the proposal targets technical improvements such as optimizing cross-chain speed to achieve a near one-minute transaction finality, positioning Shibarium as a faster and more competitive Layer 2 network. Other key technical refinements include streamlining smart contracts to lower Ethereum gas fees and expanding support for trendline cross-chain tokens. Beyond infrastructure, the proposal addresses governance and engagement for Shibarium. Decentralization also remains a priority, with a call to gradually open validator nodes while maintaining strict security standards. WoofSwap also urged influencers to be more cautious with their public roles, highlighting the need for credibility as Shibarium evolves. Featured image from Getty Images, chart from Tradingview.com
Following its launch by the Shiba Inu team back in August 2023, the Shibarium network has been subject to the highs and lows of the market. Despite coming from a team with a large community, the Ethereum Layer 2 network has struggled to stay relevant in the fierce competition among Ethereum Layer 2 networks. After the initial run fueled by the anticipation of the launch, the Shibarium network is dealing with low participation as new account numbers flatline. New Accounts On Shibarium Fall Below 100 The new account metric tracks the total number of brand new accounts that are created on the Shibarium network daily. This is different from the total daily users as it only tracks new accounts and not existing accounts. It also helps to show the adoption rate as more new accounts signing up shows adoption is rising and the number falling means the opposite. Related Reading: Did Cardano Founder Steal $619 Million? Hopkinson Makes Shocking Revelation Presently, the Shibarium network is falling behind as the total number of new accounts signing up have fallen below the 100 mark. This comes after a major spike at the beginning of May 2025 when a total of 5,111 new accounts were created on May 6th alone. Since then, the number has crashed by over 99%, dropping first to just above 200 new daily accounts, before bottoming out below 100. Data from ShibariumScan shows that in the last four days, fewer than 100 new accounts have been recorded daily. This also coincides with a sharp decline in the active accounts on the network, going from over 21,000 daily at the start of May to less than 15,000% by the middle of the month. New transaction figures have also fallen with 1.87 million recorded on Tuesday compared to the 3 million average at the start of the month. Related Reading: Bitcoin Weekly Closes Above Range High Despite Crash From $107,000, Why The Bulls Are Still In Charge Shiba Inu Follows Bearish Trend The trend of low adoption recorded on the Shibarium blockchain has also been felt in other areas such as the total addresses holding the Shiba Inu token. According to IntoTheBlock, the total addresses holding Shiba Inu have seen a decline over the last couple of days. This metric went from above 1.4 million to 1.39 million addresses. A small decline, but nonetheless pointing to an exit from the cryptocurrency by investors. At the same time, the Shiba Inu price has also struggled to stay afloat at this time. Caught in a power struggle between the bears and the bulls, Shiba Inu has seen its price constrained to a tight range of $0.000014 and $0.000017. If the sell-offs continue, then the meme coin could break below the support currently being established at $0.000014. Featured image from Dall.E, chart from TradingView.com
Despite recent market turbulence, Shiba Inu shows signs of technical recovery while Shibarium reaches 1 billion transaction milestone
Shiba Inu’s layer-2 network, Shibarium, has officially crossed one billion total transactions, a significant achievement for the ongoing push to expand beyond meme coin status. Shibarium’s growth stems from steady activity and the adoption of the layer-2 network within the broader Shiba Inu ecosystem. However, this major milestone hasn’t translated into positive momentum for SHIB’s price, which has been under bearish pressure for weeks now alongside the rest of the crypto market. Shibarium Surpasses 1 Billion Transactions With Intensifying Network Activity The launch of Shibarium in August 2023 marked a turning point for the meme cryptocurrency’s ecosystem. The goal of the layer-2 network was to improve the speed and lower the cost of Shiba Inu transactions on the Ethereum blockchain. Since its launch, Shibarium has consistently increased user participation, smart contract deployments, and daily transactions. Related Reading: Shiba Inu’s Shibarium Records Heartbreaking 96% Crash In Transactions, What’s Going On? According to data from Shibariumscan, total transactions have now exceeded the one billion mark, showcasing the sheer amount of activity the network has processed. At the time of writing, Shibarium boasts 1,012,261,457 transactions processed in 10,284,922 blocks and 194,705,571 addresses created. Daily transaction volumes frequently reach the millions, sometimes tens of millions, during periods of high activity in the wider crypto market. Notably, the number of transactions processed on the Shibarium network in the past 24 hours has reached 2.75 million, with an even larger 4.11 million processed in the previous 24-hour timeframe. However, despite the milestone and notable transaction activity, SHIB has failed to make any meaningful price gains. Why Is Shiba Inu Price Still Struggling And Holding Flat Near $0.000012? SHIB’s price performance has been far less encouraging despite Shibarium’s transaction milestone. Since its launch, major milestones tied to the Layer-2 network have often led to increased buying activity. During earlier stages of Shibarium’s rollout, even modest developments were enough to spark rallies or at least short-term price jumps for SHIB. Related Reading: Shiba Inu Burn Update: 99.44% Daily Burn Crash Could Spell Trouble For Meme Coin However, the correlation between Shibarium milestones and SHIB’s price has finally detached, and the hype has finally faded. Shibarium is now only a strong part of the Shiba Inu ecosystem, but its ability to influence the sentiment among crypto investors and price action has diminished. However, outside this detachment, the crypto markets have been generally bearish for a while. The entire crypto landscape has experienced a persistent pullback since early March, with many large-market-cap cryptocurrencies struggling to find upward momentum. Bitcoin and other major cryptocurrencies have been on a pullback, which was recently made worse by Donald Trump’s tariffs announcement. Over the past seven days, SHIB has been locked around the $0.000012 level and is currently down by 9.4%. The absence of strong buying interest has kept SHIB’s price trapped within this tight downfall, and there is even a risk of it falling below $0.000012 anytime soon. At the time of writing, Shiba Inu is trading at $0.00001210, down by 1.2% in the past 24 hours. Featured image from Adobe Stock, chart from Tradingview.com
A Shiba Inu marketing executive has sparked talk about a possible ETF for the popular meme cryptocurrency. Her recent statements come as the token saw its burn rate jump by more than 8,000% in a single day, according to market watchers. Related Reading: Tron And Bitcoin: Will A Block Reward Cut Boost TRX Price? SHIB Exec Points To Exchange Presence As ETF Factor Lucie, who serves as a marketing lead for Shiba Inu, posted on X that SHIB has the right qualities to become an ETF. She highlighted that the cryptocurrency is currently available on over 110 exchanges with 212 trading pairs. This wide availability, she says, makes SHIB a strong candidate for an exchange-traded fund. “Because SHIB isn’t just a meme—it’s decentralized, community-driven, and built to last,” Lucie wrote in her post.

(@LucieSHIB) March 23, 2025 Recent Crypto ETF Filings Fuel Speculation The conversation around a possible Shiba Inu ETF follows several developments in the cryptocurrency ETF space. According to reports, Canary Capital recently filed an S-1 form with the US Securities and Exchange Commission seeking approval for a SUI ETF. The SEC has also acknowledged Grayscale’s filing for a Dogecoin ETF, which has increased talk about similar opportunities for other meme coins. Some market watchers have suggested that BlackRock might file for a Dogecoin ETF, though this remains unconfirmed. These developments have created an atmosphere where investors are considering which cryptocurrencies might next receive ETF treatment. Massive Jump In Burn Rate Catches Investor Attention As ETF discussions picked up steam, SHIB saw its burn rate increase by 8,457% on Monday. Based on data from tracking sites, more than 1 billion SHIB tokens were permanently removed from circulation in a 24-hour period. The burn mechanism works by sending tokens to a specific address where they can never be retrieved, effectively reducing the total supply. After this large burn, the circulating supply stands at 584.35 trillion coins. Cryptocurrency markets often react positively to supply reductions, following basic supply and demand principles that suggest fewer available tokens might lead to price increases. Price Movement Remains Modest Despite Market Optimism Despite the excitement around potential ETF developments and the dramatic burn rate increase, SHIB’s price movement has been relatively small. The meme coin saw just a 1% price increase, reaching $0.00001303 at the time of writing. The price ranged from $0.0000128 to $0.00001309 over the previous 24 hours, showing limited volatility despite the news. Related Reading: Ethereum Whales Pounce On The Dip, Snag $236 Million In ETH Meanwhile, market data from Coinglass shows growing interest in SHIB derivatives. The open interest in Shiba Inu futures increased by 3.5% to $120 million, while trading volume jumped 20% to $70 million. These indicators suggest one thing: traders are now paying close attention to the meme coin — even if the price hasn’t yet reflected the optimism expressed by community figures and some investors. While a Shiba Inu ETF would provide some boost to the appeal of Shiba Inu, regulatory approval remains up in the air. The SEC has only recently approved Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs after years of applications, suggesting that meme coins may face a long road to similar recognition.

Renewed investor optimism and interest in Shiba Inu (SHIB) has emerged despite market volatility. This is due to a remarkable 4,100% surge in its burn rate within just 24 hours, resulting in the removal of nearly 21.7 million SHIB tokens from circulation. The cryptocurrency is once again capturing attention in the digital asset space as this extraordinary increase highlights its significant combustion rate. Related Reading: Bitcoin As The New S&P 500 Of Our Time? This CEO Thinks So A Closer Examination Of The Burn Rate The burn rate is an essential metric for Shiba Inu, as it indicates the quantity of tokens that are irrevocably removed from circulation. The purpose of this standard procedure is to establish scarcity, which has the potential to increase the value of the remaining tokens. The most recent surge was predominantly driven by a single transaction, which resulted in the burning of nearly 21 million tokens in a single instance. A reduction in supply of this magnitude can have a beneficial effect on investor confidence and market sentiment.

Actually, SHIB’s price dropped 11% over this period, coming out to roughly $0.00002168. This decline in the market value of the meme coin was a result of a larger trend influencing the whole digital currency market that saw over $711 million in liquidations among other assets. Shiba Inu: Whale Activity Increases Interestingly, there have been a lot more whales in the Shiba Inu environment at the same time that the burn rate has gone up. Over 2,000% more transactions involving substantial holders happened, resulting in the exchange of around $750 million in SHIB in a 24-hr period. This rise means that big buyers are either buying more tokens or giving them to other people in response to changes in the market. Future Prospects And Market Sentiment Many members of the Shiba Inu community are optimistic about the future of the coin, despite the present price decrease. The substantial incineration rate is perceived as a proactive measure to increase scarcity and potentially result in price appreciation in the future. Investor sentiment can be unpredictable; however, community members frequently gain confidence in the project’s long-term viability when they witness significant fires.

The simultaneous price fall and macroeconomic factors that lead to market volatility serve as a reminder to investors to be cautious. In the world of cryptocurrencies, volatility are unavoidable, and monitoring both whale activity and burn rates will be critical in determining SHIB’s likely future path.

Shiba Inu (SHIB) is back in the news courtesy of projections of a 260% price increase, which is making people very excited. There are “textbook bull signals” on the charts, which means SHIB could reach $0.000081 in the next few months, according to an analyst. But what’s making people so hopeful? Related Reading: Will Bitcoin Enter Its Most Massive Bull Cycle? This Engineer Thinks So Whale Activity Sparks Fresh Momentum Recent whale movements are yielding very significant insights into the prospects of SHIB. One such movement involved the withdrawal of 220 billion SHIB tokens, worth $4.63 million, from Binance by a single entity. Such withdrawals have usually been linked to heightened interest among institutional or high-net-worth investors, and it bodes well for the token. $SHIB (Shiba Inu) finishing up the year holding a major breakout and coming off of textbook bull signals on lower timeframes! Holding broken out, the target at $0.000081 goes unchanged and these bull signals can be pointing to a continuation within an over 264% run to reach it! https://t.co/4L9HEciT3a pic.twitter.com/qkmLQURP5u — JAVON⚡️MARKS (@JavonTM1) December 31, 2024 According to IntoTheBlock data, the large transaction and whale activity also supports this trend. As more interest is gathered, SHIB is building up the momentum needed for overcoming critical resistance levels. Breaking Resistance Levels Even though the prediction is for price growth, SHIB needs to break through a key resistance level at $0.000029. Analysts say that breaking above this level is the first thing that needs to happen for the token to reach its lofty goal of $0.000080. In the past, this resistance had stopped SHIB in its tracks, but recent good sentiment might be enough now. Meanwhile, the metrics from Coincheckup have shown an improved trading volume and market sentiment of SHIB. If this continues, the token might find the strength to overcome the current barriers it faces. The Broader Crypto Context The surge for Shiba Inu is happening in the midst of more significant changes in the cryptocurrency space. The recent stabilization of Ethereum and Bitcoin has created an opportunity for altcoins like SHIB to flourish. Furthermore, new players have entered the market as a result of memecoins’ growing appeal as speculative investments. According to other analysts, the optimism may also stem from SHIB’s long-term strategy, which centers on Shibarium, their Layer 2 blockchain. Investors find SHIB’s use case more appealing since Shibarium enables quicker transactions and cheaper costs. Related Reading: Bitcoin As A Strategic Asset?

Shiba Inu’s ecosystem has been expanding rapidly in the past year, thanks in part to Shibarium, its layer-2 platform. Interestingly, recent data shows Shibarium has seen an impressive uptick in activity, with daily transactions reaching 4.68 million in the past 24 hours. At the time of writing, SHIB is trading at $0.00001677 and is back into the negative movement in both the seven-day and 30-day timeframes. However, the uptick in activity has given SHIB investors something to watch closely to see if this momentum could drive the token’s price closer to $0.00008. Shibarium Sees Surge In Transaction Activity According to data from Shibariumscan, 4.68 million transactions were processed on the layer-2 network in the past 24 hours, which essentially kickstarts November on a good month. Speaking of November, it’s only been three days into the month, and Shibarium has already processed more than 13.4 million transactions. Related Reading: Bitcoin Completes Retest Phase: Only One Thing Left For A $110,000 Price By December A closer look at the transaction data reveals a progressive rise in network activity each day. Particularly, data from Shibarium scan shows that 4.21 million transactions were processed on November 1, 4.53 million transactions were processed on November 2, and 4.68 transactions were processed on November 3. Interestingly, this represents an increase of about 103,800% from the 6,540 transactions registered on Sunday, October 27. With this spike in activity, the Shiba Inu community is seeing increased interest in SHIB and related tokens like BONE, which also benefits from Shibarium. The uptick in transaction activity has, in turn, increased the number of BONE tokens recouped as transaction fees, which is also positive in terms of SHIB burns. This is because the accumulated BONE fees on Shibarium are exchanged for SHIB tokens. These SHIB tokens are subsequently burned and permanently removed from circulation, leading to a reduction in the total supply of SHIB. SHIB’s Price To Push Toward $0.00008? Shibarium has undoubtedly been one of the strong pillars of the Shiba Inu ecosystem since its launch. Therefore, the uptick in Shibarium activity is one of the first steps for the SHIB price to return to its all-time high levels of around $0.00008. Related Reading: Bitcoin Flashes Buy Signal After Price Closed 2nd Green Month Candle In A Row At the time of writing, SHIB is trading at $0.00001677 and has lost its footing above $0.000017 in the past 24 hours. While achieving $0.00008 would be a steep climb, sustained growth in Shibarium’s usage could provide a strong foundation for future price gains. Right now, the first step towards a return to $0.00008 would be SHIB bulls creating a price floor around $0.000017 or $0.0000165 that would reject any further declines. Nonetheless, November and the upcoming US elections promise to be a bullish month for SHIB and the wider crypto industry. Featured image created with Dall.E, chart from Tradingview.com

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.

Key Shibarium metrics suggest the Shiba Inu ecosystem might be gearing up for a push to the upside. Notably, Shibarium’s transaction data has seen triple-digit percentage jumps in transactions and fees paid in BONE over the past week. This suggests Shiba Inu might be receiving increased attention from traders, a scenario that may result in SHIB rebounding at a crucial support level during the course of the week. Shibarium Sees Massive Surge In Activity Over the Weekend According to the latest data, transactions on the Shibarium network exploded over the weekend, soaring a whopping 441% on Saturday. Over 13,190 transactions were recorded on Shibarium on Saturday, up from just under 3,500 earlier in the week. The massive surge in activity led to higher fees on the network as it strained under the increased load. Related Reading: Spot Ethereum ETFs Expected To Begin Trading On July 2, Can This Propel ETH To $10,000? Consequently, the average fees paid in BONE on Shibarium transactions jumped 176%. Furthermore, data from Shibariumscan indicates that 154 new accounts were created on Sunday, a 1,600% increase from 9 new accounts created on Monday, June 10. Interestingly, these numbers are small compared to metrics recorded on Shibarium earlier in the year. However, their increases have come during a particularly bearish period for the Shiba Inu community. This is a positive sign for SHIB price, as the increase in transactions increases the amount of gas fees, which in turn increases the number of SHIB tokens to be burned. Current State Of Shiba Inu At the time of writing, SHIB is trading at $0.00002013 and is currently down by 2.21% in the past 24 hours. Notably, SHIB has declined for the past seven days amidst a wider market price drop led by Bitcoin. Consequently, SHIB has lost 13.11% of its market cap in the past seven days as traders continue to exit their long positions. SHIB now finds itself trading around the psychological $0.000020 price zone and could even break down further despite Shibarium’s transaction surge over the weekend. According to data from IntoTheBlock, only about 3.97 trillion SHIB tokens purchased by 5,270 addresses serve as resistance at this price level. If SHIB fails to defend this support and breaks below, the next key level is at $0.000190, where 4,310 addresses are currently holding 6.21 trillion SHIB tokens.
