The Shiba Inu price has dropped by 5% in the past 24 hours, with its fall to $0.00000794 coming as the cryptocurrency market as a whole suffers a 2% loss today.
SHIB is now down by 6% in the past week, and while it remains up by 10% in the last 30 days, it has also declined by 3.5% in the past year.
This long-term decline suggests big problems for Shiba Inu, yet the altcoin has made concerted efforts in 2023 to provide itself with reality utility and become more than a meme token.
