Shiba Inu ranks among the leading cryptocurrencies that have recently witnessed massive adoption by individuals and businesses. Therefore, one would believe its immense utility progression would influence the price. However, SHIB has remained stagnant despite the ecosystem’s projects, burning exercises, and whale activities.
Nevertheless, the meme token recorded a massive surge over the weekend. In the past 24 hours, the SHIB coin boosted to a high of 0.00001774, a 90-day high, while other prominent digital assets were nose-diving in the market. According to Santiment, the sudden rise in whale transactions could have caused a 30% value increase.

There have been 433 transactions valued at $100k+, the most in 4 months. https://t.co/Nq78D7h88k pic.twitter.com/9JTtGMMQcj
