Shiba Inu Launches Shib Alpha Layer Beta
The Shiba Inu development team has launched the beta version of Shib Alpha Layer, a new technical layer designed to streamline transactions across multiple rollups within the ecosystem. Developed in partnership with ElderLabs and funded independently, the layer allows users to transact seamlessly as if on a single chain, with fees payable in SHIB, BONE, or any held token. Key features include near-instant finality and ZAMA’s Fully Homomorphic Encryption for enhanced privacy. Shibarium serves as the settlement layer, with future updates promising instant bridging and multi-chain integration. This launch represents Shiba Inu’s ambitious push to shed its meme coin label and establish itself as a serious player in the DeFi space.

Santiment’s latest analysis reveals that Shiba Inu (SHIB) could be on the verge of a rally, driven by increased whale activity. Historically, spikes in large transactions (over $100,000) have signaled impending price peaks or accumulation phases. For instance, Bitcoin’s 2017 peak coincided with record whale transactions. While such activity can sometimes precede crashes, whales also buy during dips, as seen in May 2021. SHIB recently saw 527 whale transactions on June 5, 2025—the highest in five months—followed by a 10% market value increase. Currently trading at $0.000012, SHIB’s whale-driven momentum hints at further gains, though caution is advised given crypto’s volatility.

Key features include flexible gas payments (using tokens like SHIB and BONE), encrypted smart contracts via ZAMA’s FHE, and ShibOS for modular development. Lead developer Kaal Dhairya emphasized the end of Shiba Inu’s meme era, signaling a pivot toward utility-driven growth. Despite the upgrade, SHIB’s price remains unaffected, trading at $0.00001171 (-7.37% in 24h). Analysts, however, speculate a potential 503% breakout ahead.

Amid geopolitical tensions triggered by Israel’s airstrikes on Iran, crypto markets saw significant volatility, with Santiment data highlighting unusual whale activity in altcoins. Shiba Inu (SHIB) recorded its highest single-day whale transactions in five months, signaling potential accumulation before a rally. Meanwhile, tokens like Ankr and LCX also showed whale-driven price recoveries. Conversely, assets such as SPX6900, Compound (COMP), and UMA exhibited signs of whale dumping, likely indicating profit-taking after rapid gains. Santiment’s analysis suggests these movements could foreshadow short-term market tops or rebounds, depending on whale strategies.
