The surge in addresses may be attributed to rumors about Shiba Inu’s Shibarium network launching soon. Shibarium is one of the most anticipated launches in the crypto industry this year after being repeatedly postponed.
Is Shiba Inu’s Shibarium launching this week?
Popular crypto exchange KuCoin has taken to X (formerly Twitter) to announce that Shibarium could see the light of day sometime this week. The exchange asked the community if they were “pawsitive” for SHIB.
SHIB’s official X handle reshared the tweet and asked when the exchange would list Shiba Inu’s (SHIB) offspring tokens, BONE and LEASH. BONE token is also set to be the governance token for Shibarium.

However, we do not have an exact launch date for Shibarium, despite many rumors. At press time, SHIB was trading at $0.00001029, down 3.5% in the last 24 hours.
