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.

From Pizza to Unit of Account: A Prehistory of Bitcoin Price Discovery

From Pizza to Unit of Account: The Prehistory of Bitcoin Price Discovery This article traces Bitcoin's earliest price discovery mechanisms, focusing on its functional evolution as a unit of account rather than its price trajectory. The analysis centers on a nine-month period from October 2009 to July 2010, identifying three distinct, sequential layers of price formation. The narrative begins with the cost-of-production anchor established by NewLibertyStandard in October 2009, which calculated a unilateral USD/BTC exchange rate based on the electricity cost of mining. This constituted a posted rate, not a market-discovered price. The second layer emerged with peer-to-peer (P2P) discovery mechanisms starting in March 2010. This included Dustin Dollar's Bitcoin Market platform, which introduced a basic public order book, and forum-based实物 trades. The pivotal event in this phase was Laszlo Hanyecz's purchase of two pizzas for 10,000 BTC on May 22, 2010. Critically, the offer was made exclusively in BTC ("10,000 bitcoins for a couple of pizzas"), marking the first documented instance where Bitcoin functionally acted as a unit of account to price another good in a real transaction, 21 days before Hanyecz later provided a USD anchor (~$25). The third layer commenced in July 2010 with Jed McCaleb's launch of the Mt.Gox exchange. Its continuous order book, with last price, highs, lows, and volume, provided the first standardized, externally referenceable format for BTC/USD prices. The article argues this three-stage evolution—production cost anchor → P2P discovery → centralized continuous quotation—exhibits structural similarities to the historical price discovery paths of other asset classes, such as 17th-century VOC shares in Amsterdam and 19th-century grain futures on the Chicago Board of Trade. It posits that all markets follow a coarse-grained path from private bookkeeping to posted quotes to continuous matching, placing Bitcoin's early development within a centuries-long lineage of financial institutional evolution.
