Shiba Inu Steals The Spotlight, Leaving Bitcoin Behind In A Week Of Price Surges

The Shiba Inu (SHIB) coin has exceeded even the top 10 established cryptocurrencies this week, posting a solid 15% increase that has captivated the attention of the cryptocurrency community.

The notable ascent in SHIB’s price is closely associated with its current rate of burning, which has witnessed a significant upturn in the last 24 hours.

Based on the Shibburn data, a total of 111,799,146 SHIB tokens have undergone incineration, leading to a substantial 57% surge as per the most recent update.

Shiba Inu Gets Price Boost From Burn Rate

Throughout the course of the week, the burn rate of SHIB has exhibited a constant upward trend, closely aligning with its favorable price trajectory.

The consistent pattern observed indicates the possibility of a steady and continuous increase in the price of the asset over a prolonged duration. This can be attributed to the natural expansion of trading volume inside the Shiba Inu ecosystem.

In the midst of current market trends, SHIB is demonstrating its ability to transcend its origins as a meme coin by exhibiting resilience, as evidenced by a significant 9.2% spike in price in the last 24 hours that resulted in its value reaching $0.00000940.

Bitcoin, in comparison, was trading at $29,383, down a meager 0.1% in the last 24 hours, while managing to gain 1.3% in the last seven days, data from crypto market tracking site Coingecko shows, Sunday.

The current increase in value represents a noteworthy achievement for SHIB, as it has exhibited sustained development throughout the preceding week.

Shibarium Launch Also Provides Big Price Lift

Furthermore, the imminent introduction of Shibarium, a Layer-2 protocol with advanced functionality, constructed on the Ethereum network, contributes to the heightened anticipation and price lift for SHIB.

Meanwhile, data obtained from Coinglass provides a compelling depiction of a notable increase in open interest observed in Binance’s SHIB futures market.

The current surge has exhibited a tremendous growth rate, increasing by almost 100% in just one month.

The substantial rise in open interest and market capitalization of SHIB indicates a considerable influx of capital. The historical context is interesting since it often aligns with instances of Bitcoin price swings.

SHIB And Its Correlation To Bitcoin

Over the course of SHIB’s existence, there have been around seven occurrences in which its open interest surpassed the significant milestone of $100 million. Significantly, each of these instances coincided with fluctuations in the valuation of the alpha crypto, Bitcoin.
