The spike in the number of Shiba Inu addresses has stirred reactions from enthusiasts of the cryptocurrency. The team behind the crypto asset also reacted to the development, tweeting that the community has been growing at “warp speed.”

“We’ve just reached an all-time high in the number of addresses holding SHIB, witnessing a remarkable 22% increase in the past week,” the team said. “Welcome to all new holders!”

Moreover, the number of non-empty Shiba Inu wallets also reached new highs this week. Data from IntoTheBlock shows that a whopping 1.24 million addresses are holding SHIB. This figure accounts for 35.3% of all Shiba Inu holders.

Shibarium Launch Expected to Drive Further Growth
