The Shiba Inu price has dipped by 1% in the past 24 hours, dropping to $0.00001087 as the wider cryptocurrency market rises by 2% today.
SHIB has also risen by a modest 0.5% within the last week, and is actually down by 17.5% in the last 30 days, at a time when Bitcoin (BTC) has risen by 28% and 15% within the same timeframes.
Despite this relative underperformance, SHIB has recently become a top-15 cryptocurrency by market cap, with its total value of $6.4 billion making it the 14th-biggest coin overall.

And there are various fundamental reasons to believe such an assumption, with the beta launch of Shiba Inu's layer-two network, Shibarium, being the most obvious.
It went live on March 11, with the full public launch of the network likely due in the next few months.
Once fully launched, Shibarium will
