The roller coaster trading of the popular meme cryptocurrency may have contributed to the increase in SHIB's trading volume. In 24 hours, the price of the Shiba Inu token increased by 2.3%, decreased by 3.43%, increased again and recently decreased by another 3.6%.
As a result of all these fluctuations, the price of SHIB reached $0.00001296, which is the lowest level in nine days.
