That weekly growth rate hit 87%, a sharp jump from the prior week.<\/p>\n<p>According to the Shibizens X account, operated by the Shibarium team, most of that growth traces back to validator re-delegations on the network rather than a wave of new retail buyers.

These top wallets aren&#8217;t new to the token. Based on reports from Shibizens, their average holding period sits around 412 days \u2014 well over a year \u2014 suggesting major participants are focused on <a href=\"https:\/\/shib.io\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Shibarium&#8217;s<\/a> longer-term trajectory rather than reacting to short-term price swings.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/x\/TAq37VVm\/\" width=\"1634\" height=\"951\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Trading volume also moved sharply higher, rising 51.77% over a 24-hour window to reach $1.7 million. That spike in volume came even as BONE&#8217;s price remained under pressure, trading around $0.05766 \u2014 a 2.5% drop in a single day.<\/p>\n<p>Price Gap Remains A Heavy Overhang<\/p>\n<p>The numbers paint a complicated picture. Year-to-date, BONE has lost 28% of its value. Over the past month alone, it shed more than 10%. Those losses are part of a much larger decline that has stretched over years.<\/p>\n<p>BONE once traded at $41.67 \u2014 its all-time high, reached in September 2021. At its current price, the token sits 99.86% below that peak. The gap between where BONE trades today and where it once stood is something no single week of holder growth can paper over.<\/p>\n<p>The BONE network surpassed 93,000 holders following what the Shibarium team is calling a massive weekly surge. Whether the holder growth, rising volume, and accumulation by large wallets point to something bigger \u2014 or simply reflect routine network activity \u2014 remains to be seen.<\/p>\n<p><em>Featured image from Unsplash, chart from TradingView<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wallets holding at least 1 million BONE quietly grew their positions by over 4% in April \u2014 a detail that might say more about where this token is headed than any single-week spike in new addresses.
