After the bearish lull experienced by the crypto market, Shiba Inu’s upward trend has pleasantly surprised investors. SHIB has surged over 30% in the last few days, touching its highest since April 2022.
A number of large whales buying SHIB led to the surge in its volume. The loyalists of the token, popularly known as SHIB Army, have been celebrating the fact that SHIB has overtaken Avalance to become the 12th largest cryptocurrency in the world, as $1.5bn enters SHIB’s market cap.

As more and more capital pours into the cryptocurrency space, all the big tokens are going to see a positive impact. Market analysts seem to think that Shiba Inu, the Ethereum-based altcoin, has a major catalyst right now – the upcoming launch of their layer two Shibarium.
Recent Developments Before SHIB’s Surge
Recently, the company released Shiba Eternity – a card game which has been in development for over two years. The card game is also being tested live in Vietnam and could go to Indonesia next.
SHIB also tweeted, “We are pleased to announce that Binance has added SHIB to the list of supported tokens for the Binance Card issued in Europe.”
