The exchange’s price pages further show that Shiba Inu is the 11th most popular cryptocurrency on the platform. It’s worth pointing out that Shiba Inu’s activity on the Nasdaq-listed exchange represents a fraction of the meme-inspired cryptocurrency’s total activity, as it’s listed on other major cryptocurrency trading platforms including Binance.

SHIB token holders may be holding onto the cryptocurrency because between $0.000011 and $0.000014, around 250 trillion tokens, worth over $2.5 billion, will turn profitable, as blockchain data shows these tokens were purchased by various investors at an average price around $0.000012.

This also means that the cryptocurrency will face stiff resistance around these levels, as many holders may be looking to simply recoup their investment after seeing it in the green again.

The meme-inspired cryptocurrency has nevertheless seen a flurry of news suggesting its development hasn’t stopped. As CryptoGlobe reported BitPay, a leading crypto payment processor, has announced that customers can now buy gold with the cryptocurrencies it supports, including $SHIB.
