As more of us get on board the crypto train, SHIB coin is the new crypto player entering the market

The “Shiba Inu coin” also known as SHIB coin or $SHIB is rising in popularity. Much like Dogecoin – it started out as a meme, but now crypto investors are seeing some potential.

Cryptocurrencies have become ‘the new norm’ in 2021, with businesses, brands and celebrities investing in digital currency.

What is Shiba Coin?

Shiba was founded by the mysterious Ryoshi, in 2020. Although Ryoshi’s identity remains unknown, they agreed to speak to Ticker reporters over a telegram chat.

Ryoshi says that Shiba is “an experiment in decentralised community” to “see if a garden can thrive without tending.”

Unlike most crypto projects which are self-funded or rely on fundraising, the founders of Shiba didn’t put any funding into the project.

“They have taken ownership of the movement themselves. “Their numbers are unstoppable and they are working as a force to change their lives.”

Where can you buy Shiba Coin?

Shibu Inu coin can be bought as tokens directly from their website, or through popular third parties like the Uni-swap platform.

The SHIB Token is an ERC-20, compatible with the Ethereum network. According to Shiba’s founders, they are currently ranked as the 15th currency with a market cap of about $35 billion.

It’s also been listed on many large crypto exchange platforms according to CoinMarketCap.

This includes Binance, the largest crypto exchange.

How does Shiba Coin work?

SHIB seems to draw inspiration from Dogecoin, and it has been able to ride the success of Musk’s favoured crypto.
