Shiba Inu on-chain holders reached 1,693,365 as of 27 September, according to Etherscan data cited by U.Today, as the meme token continued to draw new wallets through the month. The figure puts the token within 6,635 holders of the 1.7 million mark.
U.Today reports that Shiba Inu added 1,235 holders in the last 24 hours alone, even as its price movement slowed over that period. That single-day gain followed rapid adoption the previous day, which pushed the cumulative total to the 1,693,365 figure.
Across September, the token has welcomed 8,927 additional holders, according to the same on-chain data. U.Today describes the month as a strong one for the asset, with new wallets steadily accumulating SHIB despite the price weakness seen during the period.
Holder count nears 1.7 million
The article frames the holder growth as part of a wider recovery. Shiba Inu has been working back from losses suffered during extreme market volatility in past months, and U.Today says recent market recoveries have sparked fresh enthusiasm among new users.
The report notes that uncertainty around the token's earlier price action had not stopped new participants from joining. Instead, the on-chain holder count has climbed steadily through September, which U.Today presents as a sign of increasing interest in the meme token's ecosystem.
Reaching 1.7 million holders would mark a notable milestone for Shiba Inu. U.Today suggests that, given the pace of new users joining this month, the asset could hit that level before the end of September, though it does not offer a firm forecast.
September adds nearly 9,000 wallets
The figures come from Etherscan, a public block explorer, so they reflect wallet addresses holding SHIB rather than individual investors. U.Today does not break down how much SHIB each new wallet holds or whether the addresses belong to distinct people.
