In a surprising turn of events, Shibarium, the Layer-2 blockchain solution affiliated with the Shiba Inu cryptocurrency, has experienced an extraordinary surge in transaction activity, marking a significant milestone for the SHIB ecosystem.
Over the last 24 hours, Shibarium witnessed a staggering 231% increase in transactions, skyrocketing from 14,980 to an astonishing 34,670.
This surge, the most substantial within the past 30 days, has propelled Shibarium's cumulative transaction count since its full launch in August to an impressive 4.04 million.

Over the last 24 hours, SHIB experienced a 10.6% decrease in value. However, the cryptocurrency swiftly rebounded, surging by 5.2% to reach $0.000008 per SHIB.
Notably, another token within the Shiba Inu ecosystem, BONE — the essential mechanism in Shibarium — also witnessed remarkable price movements during the same period. Experiencing a 6.12% dip, BONE has already recovered by 2.81%, successfully holding onto crucial support levels.
The intriguing correlation between the surge in Shibarium transactions and the significant price movements of SHIB and BONE has sparked speculation within the community.
Whales awakening?
Some suggest that this alignment may be indicative of strategic maneuvers by influential market players who seized the opportunity presented by the drop in prices, subsequently leading to today's positive green candles on the SHIB and BONE price charts.
