Since the first week of December 2024, the Shibarmy has experienced a choppy market for Shiba Inu (SHIB) akin to Ethereum (ETH). The mid-cap dog-themed memecoin, with a fully diluted valuation of about $7.2 billion and a 24-hour average trading volume of about $169 million, has dropped more than 22 percent in the past four weeks to trade about $0.00001239 on Friday, March 14, during the mid-London trading session.
