Shiba Inu Price Prediction - Is SHIB About to Pump This Week?
Shiba Inu has endured another day of sideways and downwards action as the meme coin continues to struggle to maintain any momentum.
As CryptoNews reported last week, the SHIB community has had some exciting announcements in recent weeks but none that have prompted any significant gains.
The coin is currently trading at $0.00001085, a near-2% decrease in the last 24hrs despite trading volume increasing 28% to $120 million in the same timeframe.

SHIB will be listed on BitMEX this week - although it has not been confirmed when exactly it will take place.

According to WhaleStats, which tracks the top 100 ETH holders in crypto, SHIB flipped Locus Chain (LOCUS) after a period of accumulation to become their top holding.
WhaleStats tracking data also shows the top 5,000 ETH holders have accumulated SHIB worth nearly $140 million.
That is also their top holding - outside of stablecoins - nearly double their second-largest
