The reason for the transfer is unknown, although it could be due to wallet reshuffling by whales or exchanges. On April 1, Shiba Inu experienced the highest daily active SHIB address rise in over a year, with over 35,788 unique addresses interacting on the network.
Shibarium’s public beta testnet, or Puppynet, which recently handled over one million transactions and had over 200,000 interacting wallet addresses, could have played a role.
