Shiba Inu has a vast community base consisting of holders and proponents. <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://app.intotheblock.com/coin/SHIB" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" data-wpel-link="external">According</a> to IntoTheBlock, around 50.3% of all SHIB investors are sitting on some paper profits as of the moment, whereas 43% are underwater.
It is interesting to note that almost 80% of the holders hopped on the bandwagon more than a year ago. 19% did so in the past 12 months, while only 2% joined the ecosystem in the last 30 days.
SHIB’s resurgence coincides with an overall revival of the entire meme coin niche, whose market cap is inching toward $50 billion. Dogecoin (DOGE), Pepe (PEPE), dogwifhat (WIF), Bonk Inu (BONK), and many more are well in the green on a daily and weekly scale. On the other hand, Dogs (DOGS) and Neiro (NEIRO) are among the very few that have witnessed some losses in the past 24 hours.
<h2 id="span-data-preserver-spaces-true-taking-a-closer-look-span">Taking a Closer Look</h2>
There are many bullish factors that may have contributed to SHIB’s latest price increase. One example is the advancement of the layer-2 scaling solution – Shibarium. As CryptoPotato <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://cryptopotato.com/shiba-inu-shib-hits-another-major-milestone-details/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" data-wpel-link="internal">reported</a>, the processed blocks on the network recently surpassed 7 million.&nbsp;
Next on the list is SHIB’s burn rate which has <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.shibburn.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" data-wpel-link="external">skyrocketed</a> by 640% on a daily basis, resulting in approximately 5.5 million tokens sent to a null address.
The mechanism’s ultimate goal is to reduce the circulating supply of the meme coin, potentially triggering a price rally through scarcity. Over the past years, over 410 trillion tokens were destroyed, leaving 583.5 trillion in circulation.
Some analysts believe SHIB’s price could jump much higher in the near future. Examples are the X users JAVON MARKS and pepa. The former <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://cryptopotato.com/top-shiba-inu-recent-price-predictions-how-high-can-shib-go/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" data-wpel-link="internal">thinks</a> the coin might be gearing up for a spike toward $0.000081, while the latter predicted a whopping 10,000% increase.&nbsp;
The second scenario is quite improbable considering the fact that Shiba Inu’s market capitalization must explode to around $800 billion.
