Shiba Inu SHIB/USD 

1. Ranks comfortably as the 13th largest cryptocurrency by market cap, and at the time of writing is trading at $0.00002937.

Shiba-Inu and Floki-Inu do not share the same tokenomics, but both coins are relatively bullish on development plans. For example, while SHIB holders get rewards for staking coins, which provides liquidity to the network’s ShibaSwap exchange, FLOKI owners can generate passive income when transactions take place using fees.

Part of the $FLOKI fee is sent to a burn wallet and removed from circulation, while another portion is redistributed to all holders of FLOKI.
