Timeline of Shiba-inu

Shiba Inu has been seeing a major upside since the crypto market began its recovery rally, but there may be more in store for the altcoin. A major update from the crypto and stock trading platform has once again put the meme coin in the spotlight and provided another boost for it.

Shiba Inu price is keeping the meme coin hype live with its massive rally this week, netting 20% in gains. The second-most popular meme coin has slowed down its aggressive push from support at $0.000008 to new 2023 highs of $0.00001291.
