🐱 #ShibaInu is beginning to get back on some traders' radars, following a mild +8% price jump this weekend. Since its #alltimehigh in October, 2021, the #memecoin's market cap has dropped 90%. But whale transactions & circulation are showing good signs. https://t.co/JD65FAOgK0 pic.twitter.com/FBAwVn0DU6
