Shiba Inu: From a Joke to a Global Movement

August 1, 2025 marks the 5th anniversary of Shiba Inu (SHIB) – a coin that was once regarded as a "meme coin" has now become a strong community movement in the crypto world. 🐶 Humble Beginnings, Explosive Journey SHIB was created on August 1, 2020, by an anonymous figure known as "Ryoshi." When it first launched, SHIB was just a fun, satirical coin, like many other memes. However, in less than a year, everything changed dramatically. March 2021: The price of SHIB dropped to $0.00000004. On October 28, 2021: SHIB reached an all-time high of $0.0000885, with a market cap of $41 billion – a shocking figure even for the most optimistic. Total increase since launch: approximately 21,600,000,000% – not a typo. 🌐 More Than Value – SHIB Builds Its Own Ecosystem According to a share from Lucie – the social media manager of SHIB – the project currently does not only exist thanks to "tweets to the moon" or FOMO waves. Over the past 5 years, SHIB has significantly expanded its ecosystem: ShibaSwap: The decentralized exchange (DEX) launched in July 2021, allowing token swaps, staking, and liquidity provision. Shibarium: The layer-2 network officially launched in August 2023, helping to reduce transaction fees and speed up processing. Community: SHIB is currently listed on over 115 exchanges and has more than 1.5 million wallets holding it. 💬 SHIBArmy – The Heart of the Movement On the occasion of the 5th anniversary, "SHIBArmy" members around the world shared memories, memes, and congratulations together. A Japanese investor named Kuro wrote: "SHIB, happy 5th birthday! From meme to movement!" Many people are reposting screenshots of early transactions, old posts, and expressing gratitude to Ryoshi – the one who laid the foundation for SHIB. 🔮 From Joke to Community Icon SHIB has proven that community power can turn a seemingly meaningless idea into a global phenomenon. After 5 years, SHIB is no longer just a story about price, but a story about a resilient community that continues to build and expand despite market ups and downs.
