The approaching release of Shibarium Beta is thought to cause an increase in ETH whale interest in Shiba Inu. As previously reported by fxcryptonews, Shiba Inu’s principal developer, Shytoshi Kusama, denied reports that the launch might occur on Valentine’s Day and said he could not give a definitive launch date at this moment because the launch is not an on/off switch.
However, Kusama suggested in a recent telegram conversation that the launch might occur before May. This hint was given in response to a community member’s prediction that the launch would occur on Valentine’s Day. Lightheartedly responding, “MAY be…just kidding, it’ll be out before May, lol,” Kusama said in response to the inquiry.
Shiba Inu is trading at $0.00001236, down -4.38% from the previous day, with a $297,101,396 ($297.10M) 24-hour trading volume.
