The meme token Shiba Inu has become one of the fastest-growing satirical cryptocurrency projects in recent months. Despite getting bashed by a noteworthy figure like Edward Snowden, the meme crypto has been able to gain 100,000,000% in value and has become the 11th strongest cryptocurrency by market cap in the world.
The major flow of investors for the Shiba Inu token is coming from India. One of the most popular crypto exchanges in the region is called CoinSwitch Kuber, the biggest chunk of trade volume from digital investors in India, making up 13.76%. It seems that Indian traders are taking an increasing interest in the Doge-related meme tokens this year. A local media outlet recently shared a report that meme token trading has left behind Bitcoin, Ethereum, and MATIC as the top choices in India.
CoinSwitch Kuber is not the only Indian crypto exchange that has been shouldering the burden of increasing interest in the Doge-related meme coins. Another Indian crypto exchange, WazirX, also reported some technical issues due to the unexpected rise in the trader traffic, who rushed to acquire as many Shiba Inu tokens as possible.
A new report from WazirX shows that the trading volumes for the Shiba Inu token alone reached as high as $320 million during the last few days. Nischal Shetty, CEO of WazirX, recently told the media that the massive price rally for the meme crypto token is the result of strong community interaction. Other major cryptocurrencies stayed behind the meme crypto craze, with MATIC at 4.5%, Bitcoin and Ethereum making up for only 6% at CoinSwitch Kuber.
