‘Dogecoin Killer' Shiba Inu's SHIB/USD recent price drop did not stop traders from remaining optimistic about the meme coin. Positive community developments cushion the meme coin's price.
What Happened: Lookonchain data shows a whale withdrawing 353.8 billion SHIB, worth $6.6 million, from Binance. This added to the whale's existing position, taking the current balance to 838.9 billion SHIB, worth $15.5 million. The whale's current profit on SHIB stands at $6.12 million.
Lucie, the marketing lead of Shiba Inu, highlighted that Shiba Inu is not just a meme coin but can be used for making payments to businesses. In the entertainment sector, SHIB users can purchase movie tickets, concessions and merchandise at AMC Theatres and Regal Cinemas.
In another development, Lucie revealed that Shiboshis, an NFT, can soon be used to play and earn in a SHiba Inu game.
Price Action: In the past 24 hours, SHIB is trading at $0.00001862, up 1.8%.
