SHIB Soars 4% in 24 Hours
Like other cryptocurrencies, Shiba Inu had a tough start at the beginning of the year. The token fell below $0.000020 in February as a result of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The price of SHIB has since recovered as the dog-themed token has continued to trade above $0.000020.
At the time of writing, Shiba Inu is currently changing hands around $0.00002491, representing a 4.% surge in the last 24 hours.
