Shiba Inu is ranked in the eighth position based in terms of cryptocurrency market capitalisation. Currently, it holds a valuation of $41 billion, which is more than the market capitalisation of companies such as ITC, Larsen and Toubro (L&T), Maruti Suzuki, Nestle India, and Adani Green Energy.
Following the urge made by a Change.org petition to the Rohinhood, a crypto trading platform to list Shiba Inu, the self-proclaimed ‘dogecoin killer’ has been reaching record-breaking highs. The petition stated, “Let’s encourage Robinhood to be the first traditional brokerage to get on this train!
Shiba Inu has also been listed on Binance and its momentum is growing with every hour. More than half of the questions in the trading forums ask, “How can I buy Shiba???”
Is it a good idea to invest in Shiba Inu?
Although the hike in the value of Shiba Inu makes investors irresistible, it is accompanied by high volatility and risk also. Bitcoin is hosted on its own blockchain and aims at creating a decentralised ecosystem providing minimum utility, however, Shiba Inu can be hosted on Ethereum blockchain and thereby, depend on community growth.
Altcoins like Shiba Inu are easier to create with much lower prices, carry a high risk for investment, unlike Bitcoins.
Holding price less than $1, Shiba Inu’s value marks to be extremely volatile and it caters to only a few hands. For instance, if a few investors decide to dump the coin, the value of the coin is likely to crash.
