The Incredible Journey of Shiba Inu: $1 Million to $1 Billion Market Cap in Just 279 Days

Shiba Inu, which was introduced on August 1, 2020, with a relatively low value of $0.000000000972 (nine zeroes), experienced a year of predominantly downward trading. However, starting in early 2021, there was a significant surge in demand for the token, leading to a trend of removing zeroes from its price.

Shiba Inu achieved a market capitalization of $1 billion at its highest point of popularity. This remarkable ascent, accomplished by eliminating six zeroes within a span of 10 months, positioned Shiba Inu as one of the top-performing cryptocurrencies in 2021.

However, as the popular saying suggests, every positive trend eventually disappears. After reaching its peak value of $0.00008616 in October 2021, Shiba Inu experienced a price decline. Although its market capitalization is currently above $5 billion, the phenomenon of rapid growth has become a thing of the past. Furthermore, the trading volume of Shiba Inu has been decreasing since the second quarter of 2021.
