The tables have turned in 2023, as its trading volume hit rock bottom for the first time this year. SHIB is experiencing a significant decline in trading volume reaching a four-month low on Wednesday. Its average 24-hour trading volume reached $119 million, displaying a lack of momentum in the indices.

2 Reasons Why Shiba Inu’s Trading Volume Is Declining
- Overall Price Stagnancy
The stagnancy in trading volume could be attributed to the dullness and overall lack of enthusiasm in the cryptocurrency markets. Leading cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum are trading sideways giving no room for another possible rally. Though BTC touched $30K and ETH is nearing $2K, the general sentiments turned negative after both retraced in price.
SHIB holders mostly pour in their money when the markets are shining as it ushers a sense of belonging. When nothing takes place, investors take a back seat and fear accumulating the dip assuming it could drop further. There’s stagnancy in the number of daily ‘burns’ as it’s not crossing more than 1.5 million tokens each day.

2. Lack of Enthusiasm
Shiba Inu boast an army of investors with high energy and their spirits coincided with developments that took its price to $0.00001039. The delay in the release of the Shibarium layer-2 solution caused cracks in the community and a dip in enthusiasm. A buying spree could reignite if the team announces a Shibarium launch date. Until then, one can expect a dip in energy among investors.
