Shibarium Reaches ATH in Daily Transactions, XRP Hits Massive Milestone, SHIB Burn Rate Jumps 2,080%: Crypto News Digest by U.Today

U.Today presents the top four new stories over the past day.

XRP hits massive milestone that explains current market rally, here's what's happening

Following a significant price spike above $0.49, XRP's social presence has recently reached its highest level in a year. This heightened social attention could result in more erratic price changes caused by increased trading volume and mainstream interest. Over the past few weeks, XRP has been demonstrating remarkable price performance: since March 21, it has gained 30% in value. XRP holders are closely watching the asset’s price now as it is approaching the critical $0.5 resistance level. If XRP successfully breaks through this key barrier, it could indicate that the token may have more upside potential. However, even though the increase in XRP's social prominence and its price is undoubtedly a favorable occurrence, investors must stay cautious and continue monitoring crucial technical indicators and the latest events in the Ripple-SEC court case.

Shibarium reaches all-time high in daily transactions: details

Sasnikova then asked her followers if they think Shibarium would be capable of outperforming Base, the Layer 2 Ethereum network just introduced by the Coinbase exchange. The average block time constitutes five seconds, the total number of transactions up to now has almost reached 110,000, and the number of participating wallets on Shibarium equals 51,781.

Per data provided by the Shibburn tracker, yesterday, a total of 802,428,808 Shiba Inu have been removed from circulation in six transactions. This pushed the burn rate up by 2,080%. Among them was one transfer that moved a whopping 794,858,822 SHIB to an "inferno" wallet. As previously covered by U.Today, during the past week, the SHIB community burned 834,804,461 SHIB in 82 transactions.
