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.<\/p>\n

Validator Activity Drives Holder Surge<\/h2>\n

BONE, the gas token powering Shiba Inu\u2019s Layer-2 blockchain Shibarium, crossed 93,000 holder addresses<\/a> this week after adding 5,653 new wallets in seven days. That weekly growth rate hit 87%, a sharp jump from the prior week.<\/p>\n

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. Etherscan data confirmed the total at 93,010 at the time of reporting.<\/p>\n

$BONE<\/a> holder count has surpassed 93,000 addresses. <\/p>\n

On-chain data also shows BONE<\/a> tokens moving away from centralized exchanges and into non-custodial wallets. Reports from Shibizens indicate transaction activity is climbing alongside an expanding active user base \u2014 trends that typically point to reduced short-term selling pressure and growing user confidence in the network.<\/p>\n

Big Wallets Holding Long, Holding More<\/h2>\n

The 4.2% position increase among large holders in April has pushed their collective share to almost 60% of total supply. These top wallets aren\u2019t 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 Shibarium\u2019s<\/a> longer-term trajectory rather than reacting to short-term price swings.<\/p>\n

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\u2019s price remained under pressure, trading around $0.05766 \u2014 a 2.5% drop in a single day.<\/p>\n

Price Gap Remains A Heavy Overhang<\/p>\n

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

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

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
