Shiba Inu, one of the most popular meme coins, has been experiencing a rough time lately. Given that it is primarily driven by hype, the current market FUD created by massive sell-offs and regulatory uncertainties is not doing it a favor.
Shiba Inu has lost 5.7% in recent 24 hours. During the week, SHIB plummeted in price by 9.8%.
There are many reasons why the coin and the crypto market are receding. One of the major reasons is the crashing of bitcoin (BTC អ), which is currently trading under $20,000.
Since BTC is the most influential crypto, it drags the other coins in its market direction in the ven of large price movements. Additionally, major instances of massive sell-offs in the crypto space have occurred.
Voyager liquidated about $56 million worth of crypto within 24 hours. The company sold 400 billion Shiba Inu tokens worth over $4.4 million in their selling spree and still holds other SHIB tokens worth around $44 million.
