Shiba Inu continues its uptrend after yielding 6.6% gains
Shiba Inu, the second-largest meme coin, continued its uptrend alongside bullish developments in SHIB and upcoming Shibarium beta launch.
The Shiba-Inu-themed meme coin has yielded consistent gains since January 21, and climbed closer to its weekly high of $0.00001390.
SHIB price chart
There are two factors driving Shiba Inu’s price rally: the spike in SHIB token burn rate and the upcoming Shibarium beta launch.
Based on data from Shibburn, the Shiba Inu burn portal, a total of 9.8 million SHIB tokens have been burnt within the past 24 hours. The massive burn came alongside Shytoshi Kusama’s announcement regarding the upcoming Shibarium beta launch.
These bullish developments are expected to fuel the current uptrend in SHIB, in the short-term.
