According to U.Today, Shibarium, the blockchain platform of Shiba Inu, has experienced a significant surge in activity. The number of new accounts on the network has risen by 3,436% within a span of 24 hours. Shibariumscan data reveals that the number of new accounts escalated from 30 to 1,031 overnight, indicating a substantial increase in user engagement.
This surge comes in the wake of concerns about Shibarium's declining activity and attention. However, the rapid change within a single day has shifted this narrative. Alongside the rise in new accounts, the transaction volume on the Shibarium network also saw an increase, growing from 4,751 to 8,527 transactions, representing an 80% increase in transaction activity over the same period.
If we consider the figure of active accounts for the period in question, it grew by 1,243 accounts per day. This suggests that all transaction activity on Shibarium was provided by new users. The reason behind such a significant surge in blockchain activity from Shiba Inu remains an open question. However, it is likely based on the momentum of the price of SHIB, a popular meme-inspired cryptocurrency, which has been rising by almost 5% since the opening of a new daily candle on its chart.
Typically, activity on the network precedes the price movements of related tokens. However, in the case of Shiba Inu, the opposite appears to be happening. This spike in user engagement and transaction volume could indicate a new phase of growth for Shibarium. The coming days will be crucial in determining whether this increase represents a sustainable trend or a temporary anomaly.
