Effect on SHIB Price

SHIB prices, so far, have reacted positively to this development by marking an uptick of 1.33% over the last 24 hours. However, SHIB price remain significantly down by 9.52% in the last 7 days and 23.63% in the last 1 month.

Therefore, the Shiba Inu community is optimistic that the prices of its SHIB holdings will eventually navigate a way for a bull run.
