Volatility reigns the crypto-verse. The market has seen trends evolve swiftly, and the spotlight is often on new tokens that seize traders’ attention. Shiba Inu [SHIB] has been making news since its inception. It has even eclipsed stalwarts like Bitcoin [BTC] and Dogecoin [DOGE] in terms of popularity. More recently, it even claimed the title of the most traded coin on WazirX, a prominent Indian cryptocurrency exchange.
WazirX announced Shiba Inu’s unprecedented dominance as the most traded token on its platform throughout April. This further sheds light on the escalating popularity of the meme coin among Indian crypto enthusiasts. Along with this, it also underscores SHIB’s rapid ascent within the nation’s crypto trading milieu.
Despite Bitcoin’s formidable presence, SHIB has managed to surpass the king coin in trading volume. Dogecoin, the OG meme cryptocurrency, paved the way for other meme coins to enter the market. However, the asset took a backseat and trailed behind SHIB, further cementing its position in the Indian crypto market.
