Summary

On May 22, 2025, Shiba Inu (SHIB) not only saw a slight price increase, but also revealed multiple positive developments on the ecological front. This article delves into the latest performance of Shibarium, community dynamics, and future expectations, helping newcomers make rational investment decisions.

1. The Shibarium network data is steadily increasing.

Shibarium, as the second-layer scaling solution launched by the SHIB team, focuses on low costs and high throughput. The latest data shows:

• TVL on the network is over 2.46 million US dollars;
• The number of active wallets is rising, and on-chain interaction data is rebounding.

These data reflect the initial “stickiness” of Shibarium beginning to emerge, potentially driving deeper value capture for SHIB.

Community Updates: ShibaCon postponed but still hot

Although ShibaCon 2025 has been postponed and the event originally scheduled to be held in Bangkok in November will be rescheduled, the community’s enthusiasm remains undiminished:

• Discord community users exceed 250,000;
• The daily interaction volume of platform X is maintained at over 200,000;
• Multiple NFT projects and games are still collaborating and testing around the SHIB ecosystem.

This indicates that Shiba Inu’s brand influence still leads in the meme sector.

3. Whales and large holders continue to hoard coins

According to BitInfoCharts data, the top 20 SHIB wallet holdings have seen a significant increase in the past 72 hours. Some addresses have been accumulating for more than 10 consecutive days. This phenomenon is seen as a signal of gradual return of main funds, enhancing market confidence.

Four, Challenges and Opportunities Coexist in the Medium to Long Term Outlook

Despite the ecosystem being improved, Shiba Inu still faces some challenges:

• Lack of a clear profit model;
• The ecological application has not yet formed a closed loop;
• The token inflation structure still needs to be optimized.

However, if the team can continue to integrate Shibarium with the NFT ecosystem, improve practical use cases, perhaps it can break through the ‘meme coin’ label and enter the ‘utility asset’ category.

V. Conclusion

As a community-driven project, Shiba Inu has maintained high attention after experiencing multiple market fluctuations. 2025 may be a key turning point for its ecosystem expansion. For investors, paying attention to Shibarium’s development and community signals is crucial in assessing its potential.
