Shiba Inu is seeing growing adoption amid the broad crypto market resurgence, which has seen its price stabilize above the $0.000006 mark.
On Saturday, April 25, the Shiba Inu team shared data revealing that $SHIB’s total holder count climbed to about 1.58 million between April 18 and April 25.
Shiba Inu sees growing adoption
The surge in the $SHIB holder count shows that an additional 10,000 new wallets were added to the ecosystem within just 3 days, signaling growing demand among both retail and institutional investors.
Notably, the team specifically revealed that the increases recorded in a single day saw nearly 5,000 new addresses added within just 24 hours.
This reflects sustained interest in the leading meme token as the price begins to show signs of a potential breakout.
Furthermore, the data provided also showed that active addresses surged by 12% to about 3,800, while the average holding period held firm at 2.4 years. This reveals that investors are holding on to the asset for the longer term, rather than making short-term bids.
$SHIB whales activate
Amid the rising on-chain activity seen in the past three days, $SHIB large holders have also remained active over the period, signaling renewed interest among the $SHIB whales.
The team revealed that large transactions involving wallets carrying at least $100,000 worth of tokens have increased by about 6-7% over the period.
This suggests that high-profile investors and institutions are actively participating in the Shiba Inu ecosystem as adoption continues to grow.
