SHIB supporters have been loudening their voices on microblogging site Twitter using hashtags such as— #SHIBARMY #ShibaSwap #shibainu #shibainucoin, and #SHIB — to rally support for the meme coin.
It is worth noting that the official Shiba Inu Twitter account has now surpassed 1.9 million followers. For comparison, the official account of the Ethereum network has 1.8 million followers, at the time of writing this article.
The rise of SHIB is speculated to be fuelled after tech billionaire Elon Musk, tweeted a photograph of the coin going to the Moon on October 18. At that time, the token was trading at $0.000026 (Rs. 0.0020). His tweet pushed the coin to nearly 50 percent to reach a high of $0.000044 (Rs. 0.0033), according to CoinMarket cap.
Another major reason is also rumours floating in the crypto world that the SHIB will soon be listed on the popular stock trading app, Robinhood. A petition on Change.org has also implored Robinhood to list the coin on its platform. It garnered almost 3 lakh signatures.
Interestingly, almost 70.52 percent of SHIB’s circulation is controlled by eight whale accounts, of which, one whale holds 41.03 percent. This means all of these whales have made at least 800 percent gains on their investments, last month.
According to Coinbase, the price of SHIB coin has fallen by 25.10 percent in the past 7 days. The price declined by 7.04 percent in the last 24 hours. In just the past hour, the price shrunk by 3.01 percent.
