The price of Shiba Inu (SHIB) has surged by an impressive 20% over the last day, according to data provided by CoinGecko.
The popular meme coin touched a daily high of $0.00002930 earlier today and is trading at $0.00002753 at press time, levels not seen since January 18.
Currently, SHIB is the world’s 14th-largest crypto asset with a market cap of $15.1 billion, with the latest run bringing its total gains to 30% in the past seven days.
Shiba Inu has also seen a significant increase in trading volume—with over $2.5 billion in trades over the past 24 hours, it is now the sixth most traded cryptocurrency behind Tether (USDT), Bitcoin, Ethereum, Binance USD, and XRP.
However, there’s still a long way for SHIB to return to its all-time high of $0.00008616 that was recorded at the end of October last year. The coin is 68.2% away from historical levels and is still down 3.8% over the last month.
Several other meme-themed cryptocurrencies are on the rise as well, with the likes of Floki Inu and Floki One jumping by 17.4% and 8.7%, respectively.
Dogecoin (DOGE), the original meme coin, is up 5.6% over the same period of time.
