Shiba Inu increase in value
The cryptocurrency market has shown that its sensitivity towards speculation is high, more so when executives like Elon Musk consistently discuss these tokens. On this occasion, the Tesla CEO posted a photo meme supporting Shiba Inu. This enabled Musk to compare the token to Floki Frunk puppy, a puppy token similar to the Japanese dog token, and the crypto’s indices surged above 40 percent in less than an hour.
Musk again used his Twitter account to talk about the token, showing he still takes precedence over decentralized investments.

Future of the SHIB token
Although the future of any cryptocurrency is uncertain, SHIB is expected to continue to climb the list of best tokens. Despite those speculations, the token has lost over 2 percent of its value since its all-time high.
Some cryptocurrencies think that Shiba Inu is going through a bubble in price, while others believe that the moment of the rise of the cryptocurrency has arrived. According to the graphs, the token has shown a downtrend line, meaning that its current price is eventual and not permanent as expected.
