SHIB has seen a significant increase in adoption since the launch of its layer-2 network, Shibarium. Despite the launch not going as smoothly as planned, it has managed to garner the attention of the larger crypto community. The network had to be paused soon after launch due to extremely high traffic. However, the team has enhanced the network and is now ready for redeployment.
Will Shiba Inu see increased adoption?
The Shibarium launch and the ability for more and more people to use SHIB as a means of payment will likely increase demand for the popular memecoin. Shibarium aims to bring a lot of real-world use cases to the ecosystem. The project has its own blockchain, and hence, other projects can build applications on top of it. Moreover, via Binance Pay, SHIB could see an increase in adoption as a payment method.
