- Shiba Inu developer Shytoshi Kusama gave a hint of some major development coming around the Layer-2 platform Shibarium.
- The recent accumulation by SHIB whales is also the reason behind the recent price jump for Shiba Inu.
The world’s second-largest meme coin Shiba Inu (SHIB) is once again in the news. On Wednesday, December 14, the SHIB price surged by 7 percent with trading activity surging by 28 percent. This happened after Shiba Inu developer Shytoshi Kusama updated his Twitter profile.
In his Twitter bio, Kusama wrote: “On the 1st day…my true love gave to me…” which is basically a line from the song called “The Twelve Days of Christmas”. The SHIB community has started to decode it and has been interpreting that a major update for Shibarium is coming ahead this Christmas.
Shibarium is a blockchain platform that allows users and developers to make proper use of the existing Shiba Inu blockchain infrastructure. It is basically a Layer-2 blockchain platform for Shiba Inu. The goal of Shibarium is to lay the foundations for expanding the Shiba Inu ecosystem involving DEX, blockchain games, Metaverse, and much more.
Followers of Kusama were quick to spot that hinting that there’s a possibility of some major announcement very soon. Many users are curious if Shiba Inu developers are going to give a greater Christmas present, however, Kusama has chosen to stay silent on the entire matter. Thus, these are just speculations around the Shibarium development for now.
Hey $SHIB Family have you seen? @ShytoshiKusama has once again updated his status.

Another reason behind the recent jump in the SHIB price is whale accumulation. Recent data from Etherscan reveals that Shiba Inu whale accumulated a staggering 1.92 trillion SHIB worth around $17.7 million.
