SHIB holder number surges
Earlier this week, U.Today covered that the number of wallets that hold Shiba Inu has now risen to a cumulative 1,191,766.
While, the increase in the holder number will hardly impact the token’s price, it still shows a growing long-term interest in the meme coin as its community continues to expand.
At press-time, Shiba Inu is trading at $0.00001131, according to data provided by CoinMarketCap.
