Shiba Inu’s holder count continues to grow
The official Twitter account cryptocurrency meme Shiba Inu hit a new milestone of 3.4 million followers. For comparison, rival meme coin Dogecoin also has around 3.4 million followers on Twitter. Shiba Inu has seen growth in recent months, adding more than 700,000 followers since February.
Also, Shiba Inu’s holder count continues to grow. The total number of SHIB holders has risen to 1,182,817, according to WhaleStats. An increase in the number of holders might suggest long-term interest in an asset, though it may not immediately impact the price.

The blockchain data tracker also reported that Shiba Inu has flipped FTX in the biggest holdings for the top 100 ETH whales, accounting for $403,974,830 worth, or 14.53% of their holdings.
