Shiba Inu’s Layer 2 scaling solution launch likely delayed

Shiba Inu, the second-largest meme coin in the crypto ecosystem, suffered a massive decline in its price in response to the events of the past week. SHIB price dropped by 23% within a week.

The SHIB holder community has anticipated the launch of the scaling solution Shibarium since 2022. With the recent events, it is likely that SHIB holders will witness a potential delay in the launch of the Layer 2 scaling solution.

@LucieSHIB, Shiba Inu’s content marketing specialist informed her 83,800 followers on Twitter that Shibarium will not be launched this month. Moreover, there is no confirmation of a launch within the next two or three months.

Lucie argues that the community can likely wait for a few more weeks after the long wait. The marketing executive recommended that users focus on the upcoming metaverse teasers and other achievements in the Shiba Inu ecosystem.

#Shibarium is not coming this month, and there's a BIG MAYBE it will come in the next 2-3 months. However, since we have waited this long, we can wait a few more weeks.

Meanwhile, let's enjoy the things that will come before, such as Metaverse teasers or new $SHIB achievements.… pic.twitter.com/PAhqpXOuxf

Shiba Inu holders experience selling pressure, await bullish catalyst for recovery

Shiba Inu holders have experienced intense selling pressure from the recent altcoin sell-off, driving the meme coin’s price 92.30% below its all-time high of $0.00008616. Shibarium launch is considered a likely bullish catalyst for the ecosystem’s tokens, therefore a delay in launch fuels a bearish thesis for Shiba Inu.

The meme coin is likely to nosedive further in the absence of a bullish catalyst in the short term.
