Shiba Inu Adds Nearly 200,000 Users Since the Start of 2022: Details

After reaching the one million milestone in late 2021, Shiba Inu has added nearly 200,000 new holders since then.

The average $SHIB value of their portfolios has grown by 36.07%. The Shiba Inu price trades up 5% at $0.000024 at the time of publication. Large investors are known to use periods of dip to accumulate tokens at a discount.
