Shiba Inu (SHIB) Surges 20%, Outperforms Bitcoin and Ether

Shiba Inu (SHIB) has emerged as a true standout in the market, outshining even the giants like bitcoin (BTC) and ether (ETH) with an impressive 20% return for investors in the last week. This unexpected surge in SHIB’s value arrives at a time when Bitcoin’s volatility has notably taken a back seat.

Notably, only Rollbit (RLB) and Unibot (UNIBOT) managed to outperform SHIB among the alternative currencies, each driven by its unique driving forces.

SHIB’s Trading Volume Soars

The trading volumes for SHIB skyrocketed to a whopping $315 million within a mere 24-hour window, marking the highest level witnessed since February. According to crypto analytics firm Kaiko’s analysts, this rally owes itself to the heightened activity of developers within the Shiba Inu community. This points to the fact that the price surge is grounded in real, tangible progress, rather than mere speculation.

Shibarium Hype is Soaring

Anticipation is riding high among traders and enthusiasts of the meme coin as they gear up for the much-awaited launch of Shibarium, a groundbreaking blockchain platform rooted in Shiba Inu’s ethos. This launch is poised to take place later this month, and all signs indicate that it will mark a significant leap forward for the Shiba Inu ecosystem.

More Power to the User!

Adding fuel to the bullish sentiment is the recent announcement that Shiba Inu projects, including Shibarium, will incorporate digital identity verification, known as self-sovereign identity (SSI). This forward-looking move puts users in the driver’s seat when it comes to their personal data, addressing the growing concerns surrounding digital privacy.

The brains behind Shiba Inu firmly believe that their strategic emphasis on SSI, coupled with the rising importance of digital identity and data security, particularly in regions like Canada and the European Union, could position Shiba Inu as a robust and compliant contender in contrast to other blockchains.

What Role Does the Metaverse Play?

Shibarium, the eagerly anticipated blockchain on the horizon, aims to ride the wave of burgeoning trends in the metaverse and gaming realms. With the non-fungible token (NFT) market gaining momentum, Shibarium’s developers have cleverly positioned the platform to firmly establish its presence in this expansive domain.

The test blockchain for Shibarium has already showcased promising activity, boasting millions of transactions and a substantial number of wallets. These indicators underscore the considerable demand for the network and offer a glimpse into the potential it holds.

A Promising Future for SHIB


As the countdown to Shibarium’s launch continues, the Shiba Inu community remains brimming with optimism about the transformative power of this innovative blockchain. The stage is set for SHIB to cement its position as a prominent contender in the captivating landscape of cryptocurrencies.
