Shocking Surge: 93K BONE Holders Join the Party After a Wild Week!

by

Well now, it seems wallets stuffed with at least a million shiny BONE coins have decided to swell by over 4% this here April. What could that mean, I wonder? Perhaps it speaks volumes about this token’s future prospects, more so than any wild week of new addresses sprouting up like dandelions in springtime.

Validator Activity Drives Holder Surge

BONE, the trusty fuel for Shiba Inu’s Layer-2 blockchain contraption known as Shibarium, has crossed the impressive milestone of 93,000 holder addresses this week, thanks to a merry band of 5,653 new wallets joining the fray in just seven days. That’s a growth rate hitting a staggering 87%-a leap sharper than a cat on a hot tin roof compared to the week before.

The Shibizens X account, run by the good folks at the Shibarium team, claims that most of this growth is a result of some fancy validator re-delegations rather than a flood of new retail buyers scrambling for a piece of the action. According to the fine folks at Etherscan, we’re sitting at a cozy 93,010 holders at the time of writing-now that’s a number worth raising a glass to!

$BONE holder count has surpassed 93,000 addresses.

Now, on-chain data also shows those BONE tokens skedaddling away from centralized exchanges and finding their homes in non-custodial wallets. Reports from the Shibizens indicate that transaction activity is climbing like a squirrel up a tree, alongside a growing crowd of active users-a sign that typically suggests folks are feeling a bit more secure and less inclined to sell off in a panic.

Big Wallets Holding Long, Holding More

Those hefty wallets are getting even heftier, with a 4.2% increase among large holders in April, pushing their collective stash to nearly 60% of the total supply. And let me tell you, these big fish aren’t new to the token pond. As per the Shibizens’ chatter, their average holding period is a hearty 412 days-far longer than a hound dog would wag its tail, which indicates that our major players are looking beyond the next price rollercoaster ride.

Trading volume has also taken a sharp turn upwards, rising by 51.77% within a mere 24 hours to reach a whopping $1.7 million. This surge comes even as BONE’s price finds itself in quite the pickle, trading around $0.05766-a 2.5% drop in just one day. Ain’t that a sight?

Price Gap Remains A Heavy Overhang

Now, let’s not kid ourselves. The numbers do paint a rather complicated picture. Year-to-date, BONE has lost a staggering 28% of its value. In the past month alone, it’s shed more than 10%. These losses belong to a much larger story of decline stretching back years-like an old coot reminiscing about the good ol’ days.

Why, BONE once strutted around with a price tag of $41.67-its all-time high, achieved in the golden days of September 2021. Now it sits a whopping 99.86% below that lofty perch, like a once-proud rooster now scratching in the dirt. The chasm between today’s price and yesteryear’s glory is something no single week of holder growth can cover up with a band-aid.

So here we are, folks! The BONE network has surpassed 93,000 holders following what the Shibarium team is calling a massive weekly surge. Whether this growth, rising volume, and accumulation by the heavy hitters signal something grander-or is merely the regular hustle and bustle of network life-is a question that remains to be seen. Grab your popcorn, because this show ain’t over yet!
