In the last 24 hours, the cryptocurrency market experienced a significant decline, losing over $100 billion in total market capitalization. Bitcoin (BTC) fell to $69,000, while Ethereum (ETH) dropped below $2,500.
The meme coin Shiba Inu (SHIB) was also affected, losing 7% in price and reducing its market capitalization to $10 billion.
However, two factors may contribute to the growth of SHIB. First, the burning rate of SHIB tokens increased by 252,900%, leading to the destruction of over 5.6 billion tokens.
Second, activity on Shibarium, the second-layer scaling solution for Shiba Inu, has increased. The number of transactions on the protocol reached nearly 4 million, which is 130% more compared to the previous day.
Analyst Clifton Fx noted that upon breaking the $0.00001884 level, SHIB could rise by 90%.
