Shiba Inu (SHIB) is a meme coin that is sometimes pitched as a "Dogecoin (CRYPTO: DOGE) killer." The token is the fifteenth largest coin by market cap, according to CoinMarketCap data.
SHIB, an Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH)-based project, was created anonymously by a person or persons who call themselves Ryoshi. The coin came to the fore in August 2020 and was listed by a number of major cryptocurrency exchanges in the following year.
