Contradicting Data Across Various Platforms
While the Vulkania data is being shared across various social media platforms, it is worth noting that other cryptocurrency aggregator platforms like CoinMarketCap and Etherscan do not share the same sentiment.
According to data on both platforms, the total number of SHIB holders is around 1.174 million. However, data from Coinmarketcap indicates that over 600 new holders were added in the last 24 hours and around 4300 holders in a week.
Shiba Inu’s Continuous Development
The adoption of Shiba Inu should not come as a surprise because the team behind the project has been focused on releasing important and enticing features in recent times.
Shiba Inu, which originally started as a memecoin, a cryptocurrency project created as a joke, has grown into a utility token.
The Shiba Inu ecosystem now has a metaverse project, non-fungible token (NFT), stablecoins, a burn portal, and an upcoming play-to-earn game, among others.
Shiba Inu’s transition from a memecoin to a utility project has resulted in its recent widespread adoption.
As reported, a number of Ethereum whales have engaged themselves with the massive acquisition of SHIB, suggesting more faith in the project.
Meanwhile, despite the increase in the number of SHIB holders, the value of the cryptocurrency recorded a slight gain of 1% in the last 24 hours at press time.
At the time of writing this line, Shiba Inu was trading around $0.00001168.
