$SHIB
Launched in August 2020 by the pseudonymous “Ryoshi,” Shiba Inu (SHIB) was initially written off as just another Dogecoin clone. Dirt-cheap supply. No clear roadmap. All bark, no bite.
Fast-forward to today:
Market Cap: Over $10 billion
User Base: Millions of holders worldwide
Ecosystem: Includes ShibaSwap (DEX), Shiboshis (NFTs), Bone and Leash (token utilities), and now Shibarium, a custom Layer-2 blockchain
This isn’t just a meme anymore. It’s a sprawling crypto experiment with serious reach.
