In recent days, Shibarium, the Ethereum-based layer-2 scaling solution, has experienced a sharp increase in daily transactions. Data from Shibariumscam reveals that between September 16 and September 19, transactions surged by 267%, rising from 3,090 to 11,360. This growth pattern is not unusual for Shibarium, but the current increase highlights a notable trend within the network.
Shibarium Adoption Boosts SHIB Price
The increase in Shibarium transactions reflects the rising adoption of the layer-2 solution, which plays a significant role in the Shiba Inu (SHIB) ecosystem. As transaction activity on Shibarium increases, it often has a direct impact on the price of SHIB.

Historically, higher transaction counts have correlated with price rallies for the popular meme coin. For example, on August 20, when Shibarium transactions reached 28,680, SHIB traded at $0.000015, marking one of its highest price points. However, as the transaction count fell to 1,890 by September 9, SHIB also dropped, hitting a four-week low of $0.000012 on September 6.

Currently, both Shibarium transaction activity and the price of SHIB are recovering. As of this writing, SHIB is priced at $0.00001442, reflecting a 1.2% gain over the past 24 hours. This uptick follows a price decline over the last two weeks.
Whale Activity and Token Burn Boost SHIB Sentiment
There are growing indications that Shiba Inu may be gearing up for a significant move. Large investors, or “whales,” have been actively trading billions of SHIB tokens, and the Shiba Inu burn rate has seen a noticeable boost in the past week. These factors contribute to the overall bullish sentiment surrounding SHIB.

With the current positive market trends, SHIB has become a strong performer in the cryptocurrency space. Should these trends continue, SHIB may break through the $0.000016 resistance level and potentially reach new highs in the coming weeks.
Many are watching closely, hoping this momentum will reverse the typical pattern of September sell-offs, as noted by Cryptorank data.
