Increased Whale Activity After Shibarium Launch

The above whale transaction follows a similar transfer of 4,669,778,173,637 SHIB tokens worth $38,707,791 from an unknown wallet to another on the last day. The heightened activity in these high-value transactions coincides with the launch of the Ethereum-based layer-2 blockchain, Shibarium, which triggered a surge in SHIB token transfers.

These important transactions attracted the attention of the Shiba Inu community, especially after the Shibarium’s debut. The Shiba Inu team addressed the problem in response to growing worries, providing details on the technical difficulties and reassuring readers of the protection of their money. This message was intended to assuage concerns caused by the flurry of action that followed the release of Shibarium.

Shibarium’s decision to halt block production after its August 16 launch disappointed Shiba Inu fans and supporters.
As per new developments, according to Shibariumscan.io, the block explorer for Shiba Inu’s layer-2 blockchain, Shibarium has been reactivated and is actively generating blocks.
