10 Million Blocks For Shibarium
Meanwhile, Shiba Inu’s Ethereum Layer 2 network, Shibarium also recorded a win after surpassing 10 million blocks with an estimated 10,010,974 blocks as of press time.
Crypto analysts said that this achievement is proof of the network’s longevity and reliability, adding that it could entice more new users.
Market observers noted that the network has experienced exponential growth in total addresses in the last few weeks as it now tallies almost 175 million.
Shibarium’s growth is crucial in burning SHIB tokens and a major price control mechanism. Many investors are optimistic that diminishing supply and solid demand might send the token to surge. Shibarium played an essential role in burning around 713 million SHIB.
Unmoved By The Crypto Downturn
Many analysts say that milestones achieved by Shiba Inu and Shibarium offer a great deal of hope to investors, considering the ongoing downtrend in the cryptocurrency market.

On the other hand, some analysts raised their concern about Shiba Inu underperforming the competition, noting that the token only increased by 98% following the US presidential election, while the Dogecoin skyrocketed by 200%.
Currently, Shiba Inu is traded at $0.00001288 per token, down by 0.2% in the past 24 hours with a total market cap of over $7.5 billion.
