Shiba Inu (SHIB) coming to Canada with major partnership

Shiba Inu's official Twitter handle has recently announced that it is heading to Toronto, Canada, in collaboration with Welly, a unique fast-food chain. The duo is joining forces to take part in ETHToronto, the official hackathon of the Blockchain Futurist Conference that is scheduled for Aug. 13-17, 2023. The collaboration is expected to provide Shiba Inu with an exceptional networking platform, enabling it to reach a larger audience and possible investors. Meanwhile, SHIB continues to struggle with market fluctuations and is currently changing hands at $0.000007868, per CoinMarketCap data.

XRP tops $0.8 after major price spike

According to data provided by CoinGecko, the price of XRP token saw a significant increase to $0.80, spiking more than 7%. The spike follows the key court decision regarding Ripple, as the judge ruled not to classify all sales of XRP as securities, signifying a major legal victory for the San Francisco-based company. However, even with such an impressive price surge, XRP is still far from its all-time high of $3.40 reached in January 2018. Also, it is worth noting that the overall verdict remains unresolved.
