Shibarium, a second-layer blockchain designed to expand the Ethereum (ETH) ecosystem while capitalizing on the Shiba Inu (SHIB) craze and the fervor of the ShibArmy, has had a rocky month. This tumultuous period has been marked by significant fluctuations in its associated tokens, SHIB and BONE, as the sentiment and data surrounding Shibarium continue to shift. BONE serves as the native token for both the decentralized exchange (DEX) ShibaSwap and the Shibarium network.
Shibarium: Bullish or Bearish?
According to information obtained from DefiLlama by Finbold, Shibarium’s total value locked (TVL) has experienced a steep drop. From August 29 to September 20, the TVL fell from $1.47 million to $591,812, marking a 59% loss of the capital invested in its DeFi ecosystem. This decline in Shibarium TVL nosedives suggests a bearish trend among DeFi investors in this particular layer-2 blockchain.
Recovery Signs and Wallet Growth
Despite the decrease in TVL, Shibarium has shown signs of recovery in the last 24 hours with short-term gains of 3.87%. DogSwap, the leading protocol, accounts for $213,194 or 36% of the total value locked on Shibarium. Finbold also reported an average daily addition of over 36,000 new addresses since Shibarium’s launch. Currently, 1,246,846 crypto wallets are utilizing Shibarium, a fact that could indicate a bullish sentiment among users, counteracting the bearish implications of the TVL data.
SHIB and BONE Price Trends
In the meantime, Shiba Inu (SHIB) has been relatively stable in recent days, trading at $0.0000073 at the time of writing, after a cumulative 30-day loss of 6%. ShibaSwap’s BONE token exhibits a similar trend on the monthly chart, currently trading at $0.80 per token.
