Another notable fact is that such inflows continue for the second week in a row, which seemingly suggests that investors in traditional markets are preparing for a big move in XRP. The possible explanation behind this behavior of investors lies in the fact that they plan for a quick resolution of the SEC case against Ripple. Currently, the parties are discussing the remedies that Ripple should pay as a penalty for unregistered sales of XRP to institutional investors; the company wants to pay $10 million, while the SEC demands almost $2 billion.

Shiba Inu’s Shibarium Soars 962% in Key Metric
Over the past 24 hours, Shiba Inu’s layer 2 solution, Shibarium witnessed a large increase in the number of new user accounts; this metric increased from 16 on June 15 to 154 on June 16, demonstrating a 962% jump. Interestingly, this increase in new users coincided with an increase in the average amount spent per transaction on BONE, Shiba Inu’s native token. According to Shibariumscan, the average transaction value increased from 0.00222 BONE to 0.00458 BONE. However, even with the influx of new accounts and higher transaction values, the network saw a decline in active accounts and total transactions. This can be explained by the fact that new users may be signing up to explore the platform or to hold BONE and SHIB tokens, rather than to carry out transactions.
