This recent surge in interest in Shiba Inu tokens comes on the heels of several significant developments in the ecosystem. One of the oldest fiat-crypto exchanges, BTCC, has recently listed SHIB and five other digital assets on its platform, making it easier for millions of users to purchase these tokens using fiat currency.

Furthermore, Shiba Inu has outperformed significant players like Bitcoin (BTC) and Polygon (MATIC) to secure the top spot on CoinMarketCap’s Weekly Trending Coins List. Additionally, the governance token of Shiba Inu, Bone ShibaSwap, has secured the tenth spot on the same list.
