Shiba Inu: Shibarium Transaction Activity Spike Amid Market Growth

Shiba Inu layer 2 blockchain platform Shibarium, has witnessed a notable surge in transaction activity carried out on the platform, with its daily transaction performance reaching a new monthly high.

Shibarium Daily Transactions Skyrocket

The number of transactions on the layer 2 blockchain has skyrocketed since Shibarium was introduced, surpassing multiple noteworthy benchmarks. Recent data from Shibariumscan has revealed an uptick in daily transactions, soaring to about 3 million.

The rise in daily transactions to the coveted 3 million milestone marks the highest the network has seen this month. This comes weeks after the number of daily transactions on the network plummeted to about 1.07 million.

Consequently, the notable rise showcases how quickly Shibarium has spread and gained widespread recognition in the past few weeks. This appears to be a significant development. However, it is still below the highest level it recorded in December. 

Shibarium has seen large increases in network activity before when its daily transactions reached a peak of around 7.5 million. After crossing the 7 million mark, it managed to maintain above this level for a month before dropping by almost 50% in January. 

Data from the Shibarium tracker also shows that the network has reached a major milestone in its overall transactions. According to Shibariumscan, the total number of transactions recorded on the platform since its launch has surpassed 357 million.

It is worth noting that Shibarium’s performance goes beyond the network’s transactions. There have been over 3.27 million blocks processed on the blockchain, suggesting a crucial increase in demand for scalable features.

Furthermore, the overall number of interacting wallet addresses recorded in the network has now crossed 1.35 million. In addition, the network utilization is up by over 51%, indicating an increase in adoption.

Due to this sharp rise in Shibarium network activity, investors’ interest in Shiba Inu is expected to increase. Hence, it buttresses all other projects and crypto assets in the SHIB ecosystem.

Shiba Inu Team To Burn Top Shibarium Tokens 

Lucie, Shiba Inu’s head of marketing, has revealed the team’s plan to burn SHIB and several other top Shibarium tokens. She took to the X platform to share the development with the SHIB community.

Lucie noted that funds made from the sale of the new NFT collection Shiboshis will be used to burn the tokens. These include Shiba Inu (SHIB), Bone ShibaSwap (BONE), LEASH, TREAT, and SHI.

Specifically, any Shiboshis that the holders fail to claim will be sent to Uniswap for sale. Then, the Shiba Inu team will use 10% of the total realized funds from those sales to burn the tokens. 4% of the funds will be set aside to burn BONE, LEASH, TREAT, and SHI, while 6% will be used to burn SHIB.

Shiba Inu Whale Accumulates Massive Holdings, Amid Price Recovery

Ethereum-based memecoin Shiba Inu (SHIB) has once again garnered the attention of the crypto community as the altcoin has witnessed a massive whale accumulation leaving the community to ponder on the reason behind the whale accumulation.

Shiba Inu Whale Amassed 1.44 Trillion SHIB

Recent data from crypto analytics firm Lookonchain has revealed that new buyers are stacking Shiba Inu on Binance and Gate.io. The analytics platform shared the data on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter).

As of the time of the report, over 1.44 trillion SHIB, valued at about $13.36 million, had left exchanges in less than 48 hours. With split purchases over a period of time, the accumulation was a clear move.

Lookonchain revealed that the unknown whale addresses 0xF633Cd….3493Bbac began the accumulation on the Binance platform. The whale reportedly moved 400 billion SHIB tokens from the platform to the wallet address.

Additionally, the whale received another 146,342,102,182.77 SHIB around an hour later. This brings down the total amount of SHIB withdrawn from Binance to 546,342,102,182.77, valued at approximately $5.18 million.

Furthermore, the analytics firm reported another massive Shiba Inu withdrawal from the crypto exchange Gate.io. Lookonchain shows that the whale started the accumulation from Gate.io with an initial batch of 32,913,563,627.61 SHIB tokens.

Meanwhile, the next whale accumulation which was the largest consists of 499,999,665,444.45 SHIB. The whale then completed the move with an additional 362,134,360,200.61 SHIB buy. This brought the total amount of SHIB amassed to a whopping 895,047,589,272.67 valued at about $8.5 million.

According to Lookonchain, the aforementioned wallet address 0xF633Cd….3493Bbac is responsible for the tokens withdrawn from both crypto platforms. 

These transactions came at a time when the Shiba Inu was experiencing a price rebound. However, there is no solid proof that these transactions have affected the price of SHIB positively.

A Significant Drop In Shibarium Transaction Counts

The Shiba Inu layer 2 blockchain platform Shibarium has experienced a significant drop in its transaction counts. The drop in transactions might suggest a broader change in users’s confidence and engagement.

According to data from Shibariumscan, the network’s daily transactions are currently pegged at 2.73 million. This is the lowest the network has seen in months now.

The network has been seeing a notable decrease in transaction counts since the close of the previous year. The drop in daily transaction counts indicates a decline in the network’s adoption.

Data from Shibarium Explorer shows that the network’s utilization is down up by 11%. However, this is a drop from the 30% network utilization it recorded on Monday, January 8.

As of the time of writing, SHIB was trading at $0.000009522, indicating an increase of 1.20% in the past 24 hours. Meanwhile, its 24-hour trading volume is currently seeing an uptick of 64%, according to CoinMarketCap.
