Shiba Inu shattered expectations, clinching a spot among this year’s crypto elite by outperforming market titans Bitcoin and Ethereum. Demonstrating its tenacity, SHIB bounced back with a double-digit surge in value overnight after a spell of downturns, showcasing its robust market resilience.
Bitcoin has been dominating headlines this year, boasting an impressive 64% surge and smashing through a record-breaking new all-time high price of $73,000. This remarkable performance of the world’s pioneering cryptocurrency is primarily attributed to the debut of official spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the U.S., triggering an unparalleled surge in demand.
Following suit, Ethereum, the second-largest asset by market cap globally, flexed its muscles in the market, boasting an impressive 73% surge as it neared the coveted $4,000 price mark. Ethereum’s monumental rise is widely attributed to speculation surrounding the potential approval of spot ETH exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and the recent DenCun upgrade, which has significantly bolstered layer-2 solutions.
Shiba Inu, often dubbed the underdog of the cryptocurrency realm due to its meme coin status, defied expectations by outshining the gains of Bitcoin and Ethereum. Surging an astonishing 246% when its price reached $0.00003599. Though SHIB’s value later retraced to $0.00002779, the altcoin demonstrated remarkable resilience and sparked immense interest in the project with its impressive surge.
