There’s an unexpected trend in the world of cryptocurrencies. According to the latest data from IntoTheBlock, the meme-based crypto Shiba Inu has shown a solid resilience in investor loyalty.

Unforeseen Holder Statistics Disclosed

Market research shows Shiba Inu has 76% of its holders keeping their tokens for over a year. So—almost three-quarters of SHIB token folks don’t sell quickly. Interesting, right? This is higher than Bitcoin and Ethereum, which have 73% and 74%, respectively, long-term holders.

Long-term holders keep their tokens for over a year. When the percentage of these holders is higher, it shows investors believe in the asset and think it’s got potential.

Breakdown Of Numbers

Shiba Inu stands out. Some 76% of accounts have held tokens for more than 12 months. Then, 22% held between one and 12 months. Only 2% are new and have held tokens for less than a month.

More people are holding onto their tokens even when there’s lots of optimism around. And, well, that means they think the asset’s worth it in the long run. Think of it like this: if most people hold on, it’s a good sign. They don’t sell quick—they wait… and that says a lot. So, more long-term holders, more confidence in the asset.

Bitcoin’s story is a bit different. It has 74% long-term holders with 22% held for one to 12 months. Perhaps most importantly, Bitcoin displays a greater percentage of new investors, with 5% owning tokens for less than a month – over twice Shiba Inu’s number.

Time Tells A Deeper Story

What is more impressive with this data is the average holding period. Even though Shiba Inu was launched five years later than Bitcoin, it shows an impressive 2.6-year average token holding period. This is compared to Ethereum at 2.4 years and 4.4 years for Bitcoin.

According to crypto experts, these numbers show more people have faith in Shiba Inu now. The memecoin is surprising everyone with how strong it is. Sure, Bitcoin is the oldest and best-known cryptocurrency, but Shiba Inu’s loyal investors suggest a bright future.

Info from IntoTheBlock gives a peek at what investors are doing and how Shiba Inu stands out in a fast-moving market.

As market analysts say putting money into cryptocurrencies is still very risky – if you’re thinking about it – you must do your homework thoroughly. Know the risks.

Christian Encila

They say journalists never truly clock out. But for Christian, that’s not just a metaphor, it’s a lifestyle. By day, he navigates the ever-shifting tides of the cryptocurrency market, wielding words like a seasoned editor and crafting articles that decipher the jargon for the masses. When the PC goes on hibernate mode, however, his pursuits take a more mechanical (and sometimes philosophical) turn.

Christian’s journey with the written word began long before the age of Bitcoin. In the hallowed halls of academia, he honed his craft as a feature writer for his college paper. This early love for storytelling paved the way for a successful stint as an editor at a data engineering firm, where his first-month essay win funded a months-long supply of doggie and kitty treats – a testament to his dedication to his furry companions (more on that later).

Christian then roamed the world of journalism, working at newspapers in Canada and even South Korea. He finally settled down at a local news giant in his hometown in the Philippines for a decade, becoming a total news junkie. But then, something new caught his eye: cryptocurrency. It was like a treasure hunt mixed with storytelling – right up his alley!

So, he landed a killer gig at NewsBTC, where he’s one of the go-to guys for all things crypto. He breaks down this confusing stuff into bite-sized pieces, making it easy for anyone to understand (he salutes his management team for teaching him this skill).

Think Christian’s all work and no play? Not a chance! When he’s not at his computer, you’ll find him indulging his passion for motorbikes. A true gearhead, Christian loves tinkering with his bike and savoring the joy of the open road on his 320-cc Yamaha R3. Once a speed demon who hit 120mph (a feat he vowed never to repeat), he now prefers leisurely rides along the coast, enjoying the wind in his thinning hair.

Speaking of chill, Christian’s got a crew of furry friends waiting for him at home. Two cats and a dog. He swears cats are way smarter than dogs (sorry, Grizzly), but he adores them all anyway. Apparently, watching his pets just chillin’ helps him analyze and write meticulously formatted articles even better.

Here’s the thing about this guy: He works a lot, but he keeps himself fueled by enough coffee to make it through the day – and some seriously delicious (Filipino) food. He says a delectable meal is the secret ingredient to a killer article. And after a long day of crypto crusading, he unwinds with some rum (mixed with milk) while watching slapstick movies.

Looking ahead, Christian sees a bright future with NewsBTC. He says he sees himself privileged to be part of an awesome organization, sharing his expertise and passion with a community he values, and fellow editors – and bosses – he deeply respects.

So, the next time you tread into the world of cryptocurrency, remember the man behind the words – the crypto crusader, the grease monkey, and the feline philosopher, all rolled into one.
