Shiba Inu (SHIB) has hit a new record with an all-time high number of addresses, according to statistics from IntoTheBlock. The well-known memecoin currently has 3.54 million addresses, according to the crypto analysis portal. Addresses increased by 14.18% last week, indicating a jump in SHIB activity. Particularly in July, there was a sharp increase in the number of addresses, growing by 115% weekly at one point.
Additionally, non-zero wallets have surpassed 1.24 million, which is a record high. The increase in wallet holdings of 100 billion to 1 trillion Shiba Inu tokens is another intriguing trend. This group of investors increased their SHIB portfolio by 52.6 percent. This group’s SHIB holdings range from $1 million to $10 million in US dollars.
There may have been an increase in addresses because of rumors that the Shiba Inu network’s Shibarium would shortly go live. After being continually delayed, Shibarium is one of the most anticipated releases in the cryptocurrency sector this year.
