The price of Shiba Inu (SHIB) has gained by as much as 5% today, with the meme token dropping to $0.00000877 earlier this morning before rising as high as $0.00000916.
SHIB's current price of $0.00000894 means that it has dropped by 11% in a week and by 20% in the last 30 days, although the altcoin is up by 9% since the beginning of the year, which is less than other major cryptocurrencies.
