Shiba Inu rises 50% to be 11th-biggest cryptocurrency coin by market value

SHIB, as it’s known, was up 50 per cent in the 24 hours through 10:10 am New York time on Sunday, according to pricing from CoinGecko.com, and reached a record earlier in the day. A petition on Change.org imploring Robinhood to list SHIB on its platform has garnered almost 300,000 signatures.

The token has gained more than 40 million per cent in the past year.
