Dog-themed cryptocurrency Shiba Inu is celebrating a historic milestone. Total Addresses, which refers to all addresses that have ever been generated and held SHIB, including those that still do, has achieved a new high.
According to IntoTheBlock data, the total number of SHIB addresses has reached 3.6 million. Despite falling prices, Shiba Inu is maintaining its total number of addresses with a balance that has recently reached new highs of 1.25 million.
While the total number of addresses with a balance does not exactly correspond to the number of holders, it provides a useful approximation of the number of individuals who have a specific crypto asset.
On shorter time frames, the total number of addresses with a balance can indicate trader positioning and may be a leading signal of price activity.
In the long run, the total number of addresses with a balance reflects the interest in holding a specific crypto asset. A rise in the number of addresses with a balance is generally considered beneficial because it indicates a more robust and growing user base.
SHIB was down 0.05% in the last 24 hours to $0.00000724 at the time of writing.
