Shiba Inu (SHIB) Shot up 25% in a Week – Here’s Why

It was another hot summer day for Shiba Inu (SHIB), as many in the SHIB Army chose to burn their tokens in a bid to delete the rest of the decimal zeros from Shiba Inu’s (SHIB) price. Impressively, Shiba Inu (SHIB) managed to overtake the shining Polygon (MATIC) in terms of total market capitalization last week, even despite MATIC’s impressive bull run, having recorded weekly gains of 67%.

The tokens burned by the SHIB Army have served to accelerate the spike in the price of SHIB, with over 1.5 billion tokens burned in the last 7 days. This comes just weeks after Shytoshi Kusama, the lead developer of Shiba Inu (SHIB), introduced Shiba Inu’s fourth token, $TREAT, to the ecosystem.

Reminding the community that the Shiba Inu stablecoin is still in the works, Shytoshi Kusama teased another major update: “Our Metaverse isn’t the only thing in the digital space on the horizon… our card game approaches”, Mr. Kusama wrote in the official blog post.
