The SHIB token has been on an incredible rally recently, pumping more than 18% in just the past week. This growth can be attributed to the current increase in the crypto market as a whole. SHIB, much like other meme coins, has a high degree of volatility, but it nevertheless manages to draw an engaged community of investors.
