According to U.Today, the Shiba Inu (SHIB) token has seen a significant increase of over 8%, riding the wave of the broader market momentum. This surge in Shiba Inu's value is not only due to the general market sentiment but also the excitement around Shibarium, its layer-2 scaling solution.
On Wednesday, the Shiba Inu project announced the launch of the much-anticipated ShibaSwap decentralized exchange on Shibarium. ShibaSwap, the first decentralized exchange (DEX) associated with the Shiba Inu ecosystem, was initially hosted on Ethereum when it was launched in 2021. The move to Shibarium marks a significant transition for the SHIB ecosystem.
With ShibaSwap now hosted on Shibarium, innovators in the project now have a ready marketplace for their projects. This could potentially attract more developers to the ecosystem, which already has a vibrant community. The thriving marketplace of ShibaSwap could also increase the total transaction count on Shibarium. The daily transaction count on the L2 platform has been stagnant since at least April 20. However, with more swaps on Shibarium, this metric could revive and possibly contribute to an increase in the total number of SHIB tokens sent to burn addresses.
The revival of the Shiba Inu price is also attributed to the impact of the DEX concerning staking on Shibarium. This could significantly help control the circulating supply of SHIB and, consequently, its price valuation over time.
The current price trend puts the price of Shiba Inu at $0.00002549, surpassing the $0.000023 point that has been a significant barrier for over a month. With the token breaking this resistance point, it could potentially reach the $0.00003 mark.
While the token has a confluence of fundamentals to support this ambitious surge, the launch of ShibaSwap on Shibarium could remarkably change its future outlook.
