Shiba Inu (CRYPTO: SHIB) saw a sharp spike early Saturday amid an increase in volume, as the meme crypto continues to stage an uneven recovery from its mid-June lows.

What Happened: Shiba Inu, which reversed course after hitting a near-term low of $0.000007195 on Thursday, was locked in a range subsequently. The meme crypto broke above the range Saturday morning and began to rally.

At last check, SHIB rose 3.49% to $0.000007529, according to Benzinga Pro data. The rally was accompanied by a spurt in volume, which is up roughly 35% over the past 24 hours. This has helped the crypto stay in the green for a seven-day period with a modest 1.66% gain.

Why It’s Important: Shiba Inu and its sister tokens Bone ShibaSwap (CRYPTO: BONE) and Doge Killer (CRYPTO: LEASH) have not found much traction after the launch of Shibarium, an Ethereum layer 2 blockchain meant to attract users to a low-fee ecosystem that primarily revolves around financial services and gaming.

The SHIB community, however, believes that the project will grow organically and that adoption will increase little by little.
