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.
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.
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.
