Shiba Inu [SHIB] talks and these stats might hit differently
The meme coin Shiba Inu has seen a sudden spike in its prices. Well, with the announcement of the new metaverse update and an increased interest from whales, does the future look bright for Shiba Inu?

One of the few reasons for this could be Shiba Inu’s involvement in the metaverse with the launch of their first concept art.
Moreover, in a recent tweet, whalestats, announced that SHIB ranked number one in terms of tokens held by the top 500 ETH whales.

The circulating market cap hinted at a bearish future for the token, as it went down by 18.50% in the last two weeks.
