Shiba Inu

What is Shiba Inu (SHIB)?

Shiba Inu (SHIB) is a meme coin that aspires to be an Ethereum-based alternative to Dogecoin. Created in August 2020, Shiba Inu was Colloquially nicknamed, ‘the Dogecoin killer.’

During the initial launch, 50% of the supply of SHIB was allocated to Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin. This was one of the reasons that caused the price of SHIB (AUD) to soar. Following this, Buterin donated 10% of all SHIB in existence to the Indian COVID-19 relief effort. This donation was worth about $1 billion at the time. The other 40% of SHIB that Buterin owned was burned forever.

Shiba Inu is looking to break into the NFT space, speculatively once the Shiba Swap Decentralised exchange has been finalised and launched.

You can buy Shiba Inu coin on the Swyftx crypto trading platform.
