Shibarium daily transactions have witnessed an 85% crash, while Shiba Inu burns have dropped by 78%. This has raised concerns in the SHIB community, considering the impact they have on the Shiba Inu price. 

The Shibarium Transactions And Shiba Inu Burns

Shibariumscan data shows that the daily transactions on the layer-2 network crashed from 4.76 million on October 26 to 699,690 on October 27. Meanwhile, Shibbburn data shows that the Shiba Inu burn rate dropped by 78% in the last 24 hours, with 9.7 million SHIB tokens burnt in this period. 

This drop in Shibarium’s daily transactions and Shiba Inu burns are correlated as the burn rate typically spikes when there are more transactions on the layer-2 network. This is because the network has committed to using the base fees earned on the network to buy back and burn SHIB tokens. 

Meanwhile, the crash in daily transactions on the Shibarium network looks to be a correction, considering that the network’s daily transactions spiked from 20,000 to millions in just a few days. Therefore, this could simply be a cooling-off period before the daily transactions on the network reach new highs. 

Shibarium’s daily transactions will likely spike again, considering that the Shiba Inu marketing lead, Lucie, recently revealed that the SHIB Shiboshi NFT collection, initially launched on Ethereum, is being bridged to Shibarium. Shiboshi holders have already indicated that they are bridging their NFTs. As such, this move could drive more activity to the layer-2 network. 

Lucie also revealed that these NFT collections will enjoy a strategic upgrade on the layer-2 network. According to her, these NFTs will gain new features and roles in the Shiba Inu ecosystem. Shiboshi holders will also enjoy access to exclusive events and rewards. The Shiba Inu marketing lead added that Shiboshis will play a role in future expansions across the SHIB ecosystem. 

A SHIB Price Recovery Could Follow

The Shiba Inu price is down almost 12% in the last seven days, indicating a bearish sentiment towards the meme coin at the moment. However, SHIB could enjoy a significant price recovery as Shibarium’s daily transactions and Shiba Inu burns pick up again. 

The SHIB burns, in particular, always present a bullish outlook for the meme coin whenever they surge since the Shiba Inu price will become more valuable as more coins are burnt. 

The first target will be for the SHIB price to recover above the psychological price level of $0.00002. Expert Oscar Ramos also reaffirmed his belief in the meme coin, stating he is confident that the SHIB explosion is imminent. 

At the time of writing, the Shiba Inu price is trading at around $0.000017, down in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

South Korea’s KB Financial Completes Stablecoin Pilot As Lawmakers Press For Regulatory Framework

South Korea's KB Financial Group has completed a Proof-of-Concept (PoC) for a won-denominated stablecoin in partnership with several companies. The pilot integrated the entire financial process—from stablecoin issuance to offline payments, merchant settlements, and international remittances—into a single blockchain-based workflow. A key test involved offline payments at a coffee shop via QR code without requiring a digital wallet. For international transfers, the model converted the won stablecoin to a dollar stablecoin, completing the process within three minutes and reducing fees by approximately 87% compared to traditional methods. KB aims to launch services once digital asset regulations are established. However, South Korea's Digital Asset Act, which would establish rules for such stablecoins, faces significant delays due to a disagreement between the Financial Services Commission (FSC) and the Bank of Korea (BOK). The central bank advocates for a consortium of banks to hold a majority stake in any issuer, while the FSC worries this could stifle innovation and tech firm participation. Lawmakers and experts have urged the National Assembly to prioritize the legislation, warning that South Korea is falling behind in the global digital asset market despite accounting for 10% of global transactions. Bank of Korea Deputy Governor Chang Cheong-soo acknowledged the potential of won-pegged stablecoins as a competitive future payment method.

The Bond Market Deals a Blow to the AI Bull Market

The article "Bond Market Deals a Blow to the AI Bull Market" discusses how a recent global bond sell-off is threatening to end the AI-driven stock market rally that had been ongoing for about a month and a half. A sharp sell-off in global equity markets began last Friday, with significant declines in indices like South Korea's KOSPI and Japan's Nikkei 225. The primary suspect, according to Morgan Stanley, is the bond market. Key long-term bond yields, such as the U.S. 30-year Treasury and Japan's 10-year government bond, have surged to multi-decade highs. This breach of critical yield levels (like 5% for the 30-year U.S. Treasury) is seen as a dangerous signal that historically precedes risk asset corrections. The root cause is identified as resurgent inflation, fueled by rising oil prices due to renewed Middle East geopolitical tensions, specifically the breakdown of U.S.-Iran talks and the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. This has led markets to drastically revise expectations for U.S. Federal Reserve policy, now pricing in a significant chance of future rate hikes instead of cuts. Higher bond yields negatively impact stocks, especially high-growth tech/AI stocks, through two main channels: 1. **Valuation Pressure:** Higher yields increase the discount rate used to value future earnings, making the present value of distant AI-related cash flows less attractive. 2. **Relative Attraction:** Safer government bonds offering ~5% yields reduce the appeal of riskier equity investments in emerging markets and tech sectors. Despite the pressure from bonds, the AI bull market has fundamental support from strong sector earnings (e.g., semiconductor companies). The current situation is described as a "tug-of-war" between bond market turbulence and AI prosperity. However, warnings exist that AI stock valuations have become excessive. For investors, the advice is to increase portfolio flexibility. Suggestions include focusing on specific AI supply chain segments (domestic computing, semiconductors, equipment) and being prepared for continued volatility. The article concludes by noting the market is at a precarious point, caught between geopolitical uncertainty and the AI revolution, requiring careful navigation.
