Shiba Inu (SHIB) Outperforms Ripple (XRP) and Cardano (ADA) in This Essential Metric
SHIB’s price soared by approximately 7% in the last hour.
TL;DR
- Shiba Inu experiences a notable rally, surpassing major cryptocurrencies in trading volume, indicating significant investor interest.
- The surge in SHIB and other meme coins underscores the growing profitability and appeal in the sector.
The price of the second-biggest meme coin – Shiba Inu (SHIB) – continues to rally, spiking by 7% in the past hour and 15% on a 24-hour scale. Its market capitalization surpassed $18.5 billion for the first time since mid-March.
Shiba Inu trading volume generated in the last 24 hours has also headed north. According to CoinGecko’s data, the figure has jumped above $2.3 billion, thus outperforming Ripple’s XRP ($2.1 billion) and Cardano’s ADA ($630 million).
Other SHIB-related metrics that have exploded today (March 26) include daily transactions on Shibarium (soaring beyond 400,000) and aggregated daily volume (which has skyrocketed by 220%).
Shiba Inu is not the only meme coin to be well in the green. Some popular Solana-based tokens, such as dogwifhat (WIF) and Bonk Inu (BONK), have also taken off.
All these assets have allowed traders to make substantial profits due to the impressive price spikes witnessed as of late.
For example, a SHIB trader turned $2,500 into over $1.5 million, while a WIF investor made over $5 million with an initial investment of just $310. It remains unclear whether those people actually cashed out their holdings.

Citadel Securities strategist Rubner stated that as US stocks face the $7 trillion options expiration on "triple witching day" this Friday, there is still room for quantitative strategies to sell off, and the overlap of the stock buyback blackout period and pension fund end-of-quarter rebalancing means bearish forces will prevail before the end of the month. However, with the sharp decline in AI trading mania, combined with seasonal tailwinds in the fourth quarter, earnings season catalysts, and the restart of stock buybacks, he is optimistic about the market outlook for Q4.
