With this, Nansen even called SHIB the โ€œmost popular non-stable coin digital asset for newly funded crypto wallets,โ€ explaining that, though the 12,000 involved wallets are not necessarily owned by first-time SHIB hodlers, the token still showed up more often on newly created wallets than other crypto.

The analytics firm also shared that most SHIB trading pairs are with wrapped ETH, which comprises 65% of the available liquidity, and are mostly executed in the wETH-SHIB liquidity pools on Uniswap and ShibaSwap, the tokenโ€™s native decentralized exchange.

Just a few weeks ago, the developers of SHIB announced the upcoming beta testnet launch for the upcoming layer two network, Shibarium.ย 

According to the team, the Shibarium launch is set to expand because the token will have a wider utility. The new layer will also allow for new services such as non-fungible token (NFT) adoption and lower transaction fees.

Through the launch of Shibarium, the SHIB ecosystem is expected to expand because the token, together with $BONE and $LEASH, will have a wider utility. The new layer will also allow for new services such as non-fungible token (NFT) adoption and lower transaction fees.

โ€œWe ask the community to please understand that this phased release is not a matter of wen but a matter of developing Shibarium correctly, and introducing it responsibly. Avoid asking โ€˜wen,โ€™ because the answer will always be a โ€˜soonโ€™. Yet with that being said, we are approaching the finishing touches for Shibariumโ€™s Beta and its imminent launch,โ€ the developers teased.
