Growth in Robinhood's SHIB holdings in August is attributed to the release of Shibarium, a Layer 2 solution by Shiba Inu. Initially, there was uncertainty surrounding the project's launch date, but it successfully went live in the middle of August, although it encountered brief scalability challenges. A collaborative effort between Shiba Inu and Polygon resolved these issues, leading to Shibarium's successful relaunch earlier this week.
