All Eyes on Upcoming Mainnet Launch
Moreover, the increase in the SHIB holdings by billionaire addresses may be linked to the upcoming launch of Shibarium mainnet. The Blockchain Futurist Conference, set for August 15 and 16 in Toronto, Canada, has Shiba Inu as its official title sponsor. The lead developer of SHIB, Shytoshi Kusama has hinted launch of the Shibarium mainnet at this event.
On the other hand, a Shiba Inu team marketing expert has resorted to Twitter to reassure investors about the token’s recent performance. Developer team inaction at this moment cannot be blamed for the current price consolidation of SHIB, as indicated by @LucieSHIB on Twitter.
Instead, Lucie cited the approaching Bitcoin halving as the key cause for the general cooling of crypto prices. Also, Lucie believes that over the fall and winter months, positive developments will surface. Thus, resulting in a strong market mood and a likely increase in crypto prices.
