Shiba Inu price breaks into a rally after Shibarium update

Shiba Inu price suffered a steep decline in response to the US Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) on June 5. SHIB price started its recovery this week. Shiba Inu’s recovery can be attributed to the overall improvement in sentiment among crypto traders. Moreover, Shibarium hit a key milestone and reset the Layer 2 scaling solution’s testnet.

Puppynet was reset after it successfully facilitated over 20 million transactions. The reset acted as a bullish catalyst for Shiba Inu, driving the meme coin’s price higher since the event on June 19. 

Shiba Inu announced Puppynet’s reset on June 19, and since then, SHIB price climbed 6.39%. SHIB is currently trading at $0.00000732, up from its June 19 low of $0.00000705. 

In addition to the update to Shibarium, the rising institutional interest, crypto adoption and regulation by European Union nations and Southeast Asian countries.

Asset management giant BlackRock’s application for a spot Bitcoin Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) was promptly followed by WisdomTree and Invesco, signaling a shifting trend among institutional investors.

Singapore, Hong Kong and EU nations are welcoming crypto firms and projects through clarity on regulation, supporting the bullish thesis for digital asset recovery in the short term.
