The meme coin Shiba Inu (SHIB) has experienced a dramatic price increase, jumping 50% in just 24 hours. This continues an even bigger upward trend, with SHIB’s price nearly tripling over the past week. This impressive performance makes it one of the best-doing cryptocurrencies recently.
Investors Reap Profits as SHIB’s Rally Continues
According to data from IntoTheBlock, over 84% of SHIB investors are currently enjoying paper profits, a stark contrast to the situation in September last year when approximately 90% of token holders were incurring losses. This remarkable turnaround in investor sentiment underscores the rapid growth and increasing popularity of Shiba Inu within the crypto community.
Shibarium’s Milestone Enhances Ecosystem Development
The surge in SHIB’s price coincides with a significant milestone achieved by Shibarium, the layer-2 scaling solution designed to enhance the Shiba Inu ecosystem. With total blocks on the network surpassing the 3.5 million mark and total transactions approaching 400 million, Shibarium is proving to be instrumental in improving transaction speed and lowering costs within the SHIB ecosystem.

Increased Burn Rate Removes Tokens from Circulation
Another noteworthy development is the significant uptick in SHIB’s burn rate, which has surged by 90% in the past 24 hours, resulting in the removal of 130 million tokens from circulation. This spike in the burn rate follows a staggering 30,000% increase reported at the end of last week, highlighting the growing demand for SHIB and the associated reduction in token supply.
In addition to its remarkable price surge, Shiba Inu has seen a substantial increase in daily trading volume, reaching an impressive $13 billion over the past 24 hours. This surge in trading volume has propelled SHIB ahead of competitors such as Dogecoin (DOGE), which recorded approximately $8.5 billion in trading volume during the same period.
