“Shib active addresses have been rising through June.”
Santiment showed that the Shiba Inu network activity surged 35% in the past ten days. In addition, the tracking platform added that the memecoin had seen more returning network interactions lately.
As a result, the dog-themed token’s active addresses grew from 3,800 to 6,500 in the past ten days before many crypto prices slipped in the past 24 hours. Santiment also noted that the SHIB token had had 3,921 active addresses in the last 24 hours.
