Shiba Inu token (ticker: SHIB) is a decentralized cryptocurrency created in August 2020 by an anonymous person or persons known as "Ryoshi".[1] It has been characterised as a pump and dump scheme.[3][4]
It is named after the Shiba Inu (柴犬), a Japanese breed of dog originating in the Chūbu region, the same breed that is depicted in Dogecoin's symbol, itself originally a satirical cryptocurrency based on the Doge meme.[5]
Shiba Inu was created in August 2020, dubbing itself the 'dogecoin killer'.[1] On 13 May, Vitalik Buterin donated more than 50 trillion SHIB (worth over $1 billion at the time) to the India COVID-Crypto Relief Fund.[6]
The exchange price of the cryptocurrency notably surged in early October 2021. Initially it increased over 55% after rumors of the launch of a decentralized exchange,[7], its value continued rising with an increase of 240% over the week.[8]
