The steady rise of addresses holding Shiba Inu (SHIB) appears to be coming to an end, as the token dropped for the 12th day in a row, losing around 60,000 holders. Shib token holders declined from 1,199,453 on March 16 to 1,135,593 on March 29, losing 63,860 addresses, according to CoinMarketCap.
On March 17, the number of unique addresses holding dog meme currency on the network plummeted dramatically, losing 32,832 holders in a single day. In March, Finbold also noted that the number of on-chain SHIB transactions had declined for the fourth month in a row, falling by 9.27 percent.
Shiba Inu coin demand may be decreasing because of a shift to ApeCoin (APE), a brand-new cryptocurrency sensation attracting over 1,700 new investors every day. The launch of the Bored Ape Yacht Club’s cryptocurrency, a non-fungible token (NFT) collection, coincided with the beginning of the drop in SHIB holders.
Furthermore, according to Finbold’s Google Trends data, interest in the search term ‘Buy Shiba Inu coin’ has dropped from 100 on October 29, 2021, to just over one on March 26, 2022. Shiba Inu is currently trading at $0.00002768, down 1.09 percent in the last 24 hours but up 15.33 percent in the last week after trading at $0.000024 just seven days ago.
SHIB is still losing money on a year-to-date (YTD) basis. With its current market capitalization of $15.37 billion, the meme token is the 15th-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, proving that investors continue to purchase the SHIB coin despite a reduction in holdings.
