Throughout 2022, Shiba Inu has seen a progressive increase in its hold period. Here are some stats about $SHIB in 2022 so far on Coinbase:

• Average hold time at the start of the year was 51 days
• By the end of January 2022, it had increased to 71 days
• On March 19, 2022, $SHIB had been on hold for 100 days

On Coinbase, Shiba Inu has been very stable in terms of trading activity, with:

• 65% towards buying
• 35% towards selling

Cardano ($ADA) has had a tough time with its growth this year. A study found that a majority of ADA holders were at a loss. A reason for the token to be held for so long could be that traders are waiting to break even, or make a profit, before selling. 

The same could be said for Shiba Inu. The token has launched its burn portal and metaverse but both have done little to push the tokens price.
