The first quarter of 2024 showcased a remarkable surge in the performance of the Shiba Inu ecosystem, led by SHIB, LEASH, and BONE tokens. Lucie SHIB, an investor and market lead at SHIB.IO, has reported on the impressive growth of SHIB and its companions during this period.
Subsequently, data from Bitget, a notable cryptocurrency exchange, highlights a substantial increase in value for SHIB, LEASH, and BONE tokens. SHIB, the flagship token, saw a significant 190% jump in value, closely followed by an 87% rise in LEASH and a notable 25% increase in BONE’s price.
Moreover, the trading volume for these cryptocurrencies skyrocketed by 416% in Q1, indicating active participation from the investment community. Additionally, the trader count witnessed a substantial growth of 178%, further solidifying the ecosystem’s expansion.
These positive trends coincided with significant developments in the broader crypto market. The approval of a Bitcoin ETF in the United States played a pivotal role, instilling bullish sentiment across various digital assets, including SHIB, LEASH, and BONE. Additionally, Shiba Inu’s collaboration with Zama, a pioneer in Fully Homomorphic Encryption technology, further established its commitment to enhancing transaction security and privacy.
