This accumulation can, for the most part, be traced back to the introduction of Shibarium. The layer-2 solution developed by Shiba Inu, known as Shibarium, has had a good deal of success. At the time this article was written, the Shibarium blockchain had a total of 3,685,073 transactions and 1,257,858 wallet addresses.

At the time of writing, SHIB is trading at $0.00000784 after facing rejection at the $0.0000082 mark. Bulls have defended the $0.0000061 support level and $0.0000077 levels very strongly to form support after the price tested the latter level multiple times. A sustained move above $0.0000082 could send SHIB skyrocketing to its August high of $0.00001137.

While whale accumulation is a positive sign, there are other things to consider regarding SHIB’s price outlook. On the other hand, the Shiba Inu developers and team leaders have pointed at upcoming projects in the ecosystem, one of which is a stablecoin based on Shibarium. If successful, a SHIB-based stablecoin could attract new investors to the Shiba Inu ecosystem, leading to a strong SHIB price spike.
