The popular meme token Shiba Inu (SHIB) has faced a significant drop in transactions on the network, as well as the number of its investors.
Shiba Inu lost thousands of investors in one day
Shiba Inu is the second largest dog-themed cryptocurrency after Dogecoin. Shiba was initially seen as “dysfunctional” as it didn’t cater to real use cases, but after Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s Twitter posts, Shiba found itself an important place under the leadership of Dogecoin. Currently, the Shiba Inu is the 15th largest cryptocurrency by market cap. It has attracted great interest from investors in the last three months. There has been a slow but significant increase in the number of Shiba Inu, hodl investors, but the situation presented a negative outlook on March 16.
- From March 16-17, Shiba saw a 2.74% drop in the total number of addresses holding SHIB in its wallet. The number of investors decreased from 1,199,453 to 1,166.621.
This decrease in the number of investors is quite similar to the decrease in the number of on-chain transactions. From January to February 2022, the number of transactions on the network decreased from 283,268 to 257,003, which is a 9.27% decrease.
