Many Blockchain Projects See Significant Increases in Network Activity, Suggesting a Jump in Investors’ Bullish Sentiments

Many blockchain projects, including Shiba Inu (SHIB), XRP, and Band Protocol (BAND), have seen significant increases in their network activity

Many blockchain projects, including Shiba Inu (SHIB), XRP, and Band Protocol (BAND), saw a significant increase in their network activity on Sunday, suggesting a jump in investors' bullish sentiments. The network growth spikes were much higher than normal levels, and this means the prices could become volatile in the near future.

According to a post on Twitter (NYSE:TWTR) by blockchain analysis platform Santiment, on Sunday alone, XRP added 22,357 new wallets, while 7,548 new wallets were created on SHIB, and BAND added 35 new wallets. The higher-than-normal activity levels point to higher prices, if the overall market sentiment remains bullish.

Santiment explained that the influx of new wallets “shows a high level of crowd engagement, mixed with a fair bit of euphoria,” adding that the increased retail engagement might make SHIB, XRP, and BAND volatile in the short term. But when it comes to the long term, this increasing network activity “is a promising sign of rising levels of utility on any asset’s blockchain,” the platform said.

At the time of publication, XRP trades at $2.69, up 13.21% in 24 hours; BAND is priced at $1.92, up almost 1% in the past day; and SHIB is trading at $0.00002934, down 5.34% in the same time period.
