Shiba Inu Price Skyrockets 18%

This breakout helped Shiba Inu price jump amid the increased selling pressure. A break in this key barrier could target $0.000151 and if the breakout continues, strong support seems to be building at $0.0000108 in the event SHIB price retreats.

SHIB May Have Privacy Transactions

Shiba Inu has added a new feature that allows SHIB users to make anonymous transactions through the Bermuda Privacy dApp. This means that transfers of the meme altcoin can perform similarly to other privacy coins in the market such as ZCash and Monero. As a result, the recipient of SHIB only sees the address of the dApp, without disclosing the sender’s personal wallet address during the transfer.

Shibarium Launch Behind the Price Surge?

The anticipated launch of an upcoming blockchain called “Shibarium,” is one of the reasons for the Shiba Inu price surge.

In a blog post, Shiba Inu developers wrote, “We are approaching the finishing touches for Shibarium’s Beta and its imminent launch.” They also added that “Patience is key, and some see Shibarium as a price pumping tool, but that is not the project’s focus and never has been.”
