In the past 24 hours, the average SHIB balance and value increased by 18.53% and 3.06%, respectively.
This comes as Shiba Inu returns to the key psychological level of 0.00001, which has acted as a support level since the start of July.
According to CoinMarketCap, Shiba Inu was trading at $0.00001044 at the time of publication, still down 7.48% in the last 24 hours and 12.84% in the past week.
Bitcoin and the majority of altcoins faced another rout, swayed by investor apprehension in the lead-up to an impending Federal Reserve interest-rate hike and increasing regulatory scrutiny of the cryptocurrency industry.
