The Shiba Inu cryptocurrency project was founded with the objective of not only decentralizing cryptocurrency but also its community. “We are an experiment in decentralized spontaneous community building,” wrote the project’s anonymous founder Ryoshi in the white paper.

The origins of Shiba Inu are unknown. Its founder, Ryoshi, is pseudonymous, similar to Bitcoin’s Satoshi Nakamoto.

Shiba Inu began with a 2020 supply of 1 quadrillion. At its start, half of the total SHIB tokens were liquidity locked to decentralized exchange Uniswap, while the other have was sent to Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin.

The Shiba Inu community, known as the “SHIBARMY,” is devoted and active. The official Twitter channel for the Shiba Inu token was created early 2021 and in a short amount of time amassed millions of followers.

Shiba Inu coins were first released in 2020 onto Uniswap, a decentralized exchange, at an initial price of $0.0000000015 per coin. However, according to the Shiba Inu’s price history charts, the token experienced its first major rally in May 2021 when it reached a value of $0.000038 per coin.

The Shiba coin price peaked in October 2021 at $0.000088, causing Shiba Inu to outperform all other digital currencies that year by a significant margin. Over the course of the year, the massive Shiba token price increase led to a 42000x price increase for the currency.

The great demand for Shiba Inu caused it to be stocked on almost all major cryptocurrency exchanges, which now permits users to buy SHIB on Binance, Kucoin, Kraken, and many others.
