Why did the price jump?
Meanwhile, another meme cryptocurrency Dogecoin became the third most talked about cryptocurrency in 2021. It got 10.7 crore views. Around 86 million views were recorded on Cardano and 8.1 million on Ethereum. The reason for the rise in the price of Shiba Inu was a tweet by Elun Musk, the world’s biggest rich. On 18 October, he tweeted a picture of a Shiba Inu going to the moon. This led to a 50 per cent jump in its price.
