• Amidst the broader altcoin market recovery, Shiba Inu (SHIB) stands out with a 12.57% weekly gain, reflecting renewed investor interest.
• Despite challenges linked to Bitcoin’s volatility and German government actions, SHIB shows resilience with a price uptick to $0.00001665 and a market cap nearing $9.81 billion.

Along with the recovery in the altcoin market, meme coins too have staged a stronger recovery. In particular, Shiba Inu (SHIB) has managed to outperform the rest of the altcoin market with 12.57% gains on the weekly chart.

As of press time, Shiba Inu’s price is up 1.40% and is currently trading at $0.00001665 with a market cap of $9.81 billion.

SHIB has yet to reclaim its $0.00002 support level, largely due to its strong price correlation with Bitcoin (BTC). Bitcoin continues to face turbulence as the German government sells off its BTC reserves. However, there is a positive development: blockchain data provider Santiment reports a 5.53 trillion decrease in Shiba Inu’s exchange reserves.

A reduction in large SHIB reserves on crypto exchanges may indicate growing confidence among large investors in SHIB, reported CNF.

As Shiba Inu’s exchange reserves steadily decline, on-chain crypto whales continue to accumulate coins in self-custodial wallets. Santiment data shows that whales using off-exchange wallets have collectively stockpiled 6.57 trillion Shiba Inu tokens over the past month, per the CNF update.

Shiba Inu Developer Hints At Upcoming Developments

Lucie, a member of the Shiba Inu team, recently addressed the community regarding the upcoming TREAT token. In a tweet, Lucie emphasized the importance of patience, stating that “Good TREAT takes time.” She reassured the community that while TREAT has not yet been launched, it is deserving of careful development alongside other tokens like BONE and Leash.

Lucie’s message underscored the need for focus and cautioned against misinformation amid the anticipation surrounding TREAT’s release. Her encouragement to stay focused emphasized the project’s commitment to delivering a quality product over rushing its launch.

Lucie also mentioned other SHIB ecosystem tokens such as SHIB, BONE, and LEASH adding that these tokens would need “genuine treatment” thereby emphasizing their significance. Lucie’s statement also refers to some of the ongoing and future efforts to enhance the utility of these tokens.

Earlier this week, Shytoshi Kusama, the lead of Shiba Inu, hinted at upcoming developments within the Shiba Inu ecosystem, such as the imminent launch of TREAT and the anticipated global “treat yourself tour,” as reported by Crypto News Flash.
