Are these statistics alarming? Hardly. On the contrary, the entrance of such big crypto market players into the project, which a year ago was considered by many a joke, indicates their recognition of the merits of the Shiba Inu team. Considering that SHIB's neighbors in the ranking are such bright crypto startups as Decentraland (MANA), Chainlink (LINK) and Polygon (MATIC), SHIB's share still prevails the share of these tokens by 5 times.

Busy week for SHIB

The last week has brought a number of good news and events for Shiba Inu. So, celebrating its two-year birthday on August 2, the project revealed a number of details on its highly anticipated game called "Shiba Eternity," developed in collaboration with PlaySide Studios. It is important to note that the announcement was also not without the close attention of Ethereum whales. 

Further, it became known that Binance, one of the world's largest crypto exchanges, included SHIB in the list of coins that can be used to pay through Binance Card. This event, in turn, made it possible to use SHIB as a payment method in the European Economic Area.
