Shiba Inu team member Lucie teases exciting news on the horizon for Shiba Inu. "Exciting news ahead," Lucie stated on Twitter.

🌟 My gut feeling tells me that the Shiba Ecosystem is gearing up to kickstart the bull run! 🐕💨

Given these expectations, Lucie makes a big prediction for the Shiba Inu ecosystem: "My gut feeling tells me that the Shiba Ecosystem is gearing up to kickstart the bull run."
SHIB's price started moving once again and was up 4.22% in the last 24 hours to $0.0000093 at the time of writing. Shiba Inu was a top gainer of late, given a rally that saw Shiba Inu ecosystem token (SHIB, LEASH and BONE) prices jump.
Tomiwabold OlajidePer on-chain analytics firm IntoTheBlock, Shiba Inu's large transaction volume was up 174.87% in the last 24 hours. IntoTheBlock classifies large transactions as those that exceed $100,000, and a spike in volume might suggest a significant amount of buying or selling by whales.
Fresh expectations on Shibarium mainnet launch
While there is no official date for the Shibarium mainnet launch, the community speculates the Layer 2 blockchain could make its debut during the upcoming Blockchain Futurist Conference 2023, scheduled for Aug. 15 and 16.
That said, fresh speculations surrounding Shibarium mainnet's release have been sparked following a dramatic pause in Shibarium beta testing since Aug. 5.
According to the most recent indication from PuppyScan Explorer, the Shibarium testnet has experienced a total transaction standstill for the last three days, which has piqued the Shiba Inu community's curiosity.
At the time of writing, Shibarium beta "Puppynet" has seen a transaction count of 35,044,841. The network had processed a total of 1,989,675 blocks, while the number of wallets was 17,063,911.
