Shiba Inu Surges Over 30%, At Highest Since April
After the bearish lull experienced by the crypto market, Shiba Inu’s upward trend has pleasantly surprised investors. SHIB has surged over 30% in the last few days, touching its highest since April 2022.
A number of large whales buying SHIB led to the surge in its volume. The loyalists of the token, popularly known as SHIB Army, have been celebrating the fact that SHIB has overtaken Avalance to become the 12th largest cryptocurrency in the world, as $1.5bn enters SHIB’s market cap.
