As Shiba Inu’s team continued to roll out incredible initiatives, investors saw the potential of Shiba Inu, leading to widespread adoption. 

According to data on Etherscan, more than 1 million unique addresses are holding Shiba Inu. At the time of writing this line, a total of 1,212,272 (1.21 million) unique addresses are holding SHIB. The volume surged from under 1,000 holders in January 2021 to a whopping 1.21 million today. This suggests that interest in meme-based cryptocurrency has been on the rise since last year. 

It is not surprising to see a massive spike in the number of addresses holding the cryptocurrency. Shiba Inu has been among the most successful cryptocurrencies since August 2020 till date. 

Shiba’s market cap was $3.75B in June 2021, which now stands at $6.68B.

In January 2021, things started looking good for Shiba Inu. The token eliminated two zeros from its price following a growing adoption. At this point, it became clear to many that SHIB would help investors make huge gains.  

The number of zeros in Shiba Inu’s price also reduced drastically to five in April 2021. Shiba Inu token subsequently surged to an all-time high of $0.00008616 on October 31, 2021, according to Coingecko data.

While the price of SHIB has slumped by 85.9% since hitting an ATH, investors are still hopeful that the token’s price will rally again, given the several initiatives lined up for Shiba Inu.
