Shiba Inu&#8217;s value is now down by about 35% on a yearly basis, with the meme 
coin trading around $0.000006 as of early April 2026, a far cry from the 
$0.00000923 range it touched in early January. The meme coin has spent the 
past three months on an extended decline, which has continued into the recent 
weekend. Several converging developments explain why the decline has been so 
persistent and why the road to recovery is currently uncertain. On-Chain 
Weakness And Stalled Shibarium Adoption The most damaging blow to SHIB&#8217;s 
fundamental case is from its own Layer-2 network. Since Shibarium’s launch in 
August 2023, the meme coin’s price movement has been tied to interest and the 
activity on the Layer-2 network. Related Reading: Shiba Inu’s 1,549% Spike: 
Can Bulls Take Control Again And Trigger An Explosive Rally? However, on-chain 
data shows a clear drop in user activity and demand across the network. This 
drop in Shibarium user activity kicked off in September 2025, when the network 
faced one of the largest attacks in its history, and the consequences extended 
beyond the immediate financial loss. Prior to the incident, daily transactions 
processed on Shibarium were in the millions; after the exploit, they plummeted 
to mere thousands. Currently, daily transactions sit at around 1,230 over the 
past 24 hours, with activity dipping as low as 557 transactions on April 4, 
according to data from Shibariumscan. That said, it is also worth noting that 
Shibarium recently underwent a major infrastructure upgrade, including a full 
reindexing of its backend systems, which may have contributed to the temporary 
slowdown in transaction throughput in the past few days. Traders Continue 
Pulling Out With Fading Confidence The derivatives market is also showing 
signs of fading confidence in Shiba Inu. Recent data reveals a noticeable drop 
in open interest, meaning traders are closing positions and stepping away from 
Shiba Inu. According to data from Coinglass, Shiba Inu’s open interest across 
major exchanges currently stands at $54.25 million, representing a 16% decline 
from the $65.23 million recorded around this time last month. Related Reading: 
39 Billion SHIB: Shiba Inu’s Woes Are Far From Over As Sell-Offs Continue The 
decline is even more pronounced when looking at its yearly high. Back in 
January, open interest was sitting at $145.40 million, which means current 
levels reflect a steep 63% drop since then. Even more concerning is the rise 
in exchange inflows, with large amounts of SHIB being moved into trading 
platforms, which is typically a precursor to selling pressure. According to 
data from CryptoQuant, the Shiba Inu netflow to exchanges is at a positive 6.9 
billion SHIB in the past 24 hours, which means more Shiba Inu is being sent to 
crypto exchanges than those leaving. Interestingly, this netflow figure 
recently reached as high as 39 billion SHIB within a 24-hour period. However, 
SHIB&#8217;s price troubles are structural to the entire meme coin niche. The market 
capitalization of all meme coins is currently at $34 billion from a year-to- 
date high of over $109.7 billion, according to data from Coingecko. Featured
