One of the cryptocurrencies that trended late in 2022 was Shiba Inu (CRYPTO: SHIB). Here’s a look at where the coin stands compared to its all-time high and what could be next.

What Happened: Shiba Inu launched in August 2020 as a similarly themed cryptocurrency to Dogecoin (CRYPTO: DOGE). The coin has quickly gained a following and is now one of the 15 largest cryptocurrencies by market cap.

Shiba Inu is part of a decentralized exchange called ShibaSwap, which also includes the tokens Leash and Bone.

A Shiba-Inu based NFT project called Shiboshis launched in November 2021.

Shiba Inu was previously only available on decentralized exchanges like Uniswap. The addition of Shiba Inu to cryptocurrency platforms like Coinbase, Kraken and Robinhood helped increase awareness of the coin and its valuation.

In late 2021, Shiba Inu became a trending cryptocurrency and hit an all-time high price. The coin trended on Twitter and Google searches. Fans of the cryptocurrency called for Shiba Inu to hit 1 cent.

Shiba Inu is up over 50% year-to-date in 2023, but remains well off of its highs hit in 2021. Here’s a look at how much an investment today could be worth if the coin returns to all-time highs.
