The Shiba Inu [SHIB] network has been dealing with the descending price of the meme coin. Amidst this, the developers of the network decided to restore hope to the ecosystem. Over the weekend, Shytoshi Kusama, the lead developer of SHIB took to Telegram to address all the FUD that has been going on the market. Alongside, Kusama went on to drop details of a major release that is expected to take place in July.

“In fact, wen the time is right, the next ‘something is coming’ trailer will blossom into a showcase of the next addition to our ecosystem, and slated for early July.”

Shibarium Beta records over 20 million transactions
It looks like Shibarium was creating quite the buzz even before the mainnet launch. Over the past month, the Shibarium Beta Testnet’s Puppynet has witnessed a remarkable increase in transaction volume. Users and participants in the testnet have actively engaged with the platform, leading to a surge in the number of transactions being conducted. With a 157% increase compared to the previous month, it has reached a new milestone of 20.47 million transactions. The network now processes around 491,994 transactions per day.

However, these bullish attributes did not reflect on the price of Shiba Inu. At press time, the meme coin was trading for $0.000006642 with a 1.27% daily drop.
