Shiba Inu (SHIB) is one of the most successful ERC-20 tokens on the Ethereum (ETH) network. ETH has experienced quite a surge over the last few weeks. ETH’s price began an upward swing after the Pectra upgrade. The asset has also seen a massive adoption of its ETF products. Consistent ETF inflows and the Pectra update seem to be pushing ETH to new heights. Shiba Inu (SHIB) could begin a breakout rally from Ethereum’s (ETH) latest rise. Let’s discuss more.
Ethereum May Trigger a Massive Shiba Inu Rally
Shiba Inu (SHIB) launched its Shibarium network in 2023. While the launch gave SHIB its own network, the layer-2 network is still based on the Ethereum (ETH) network. SHIB is still an ERC-20 token at its heart. ETH’s recent breakout could lead to SHIB seeing some movement as well.
According to CoinGecko’s ETH data, Ethereum-based coins are also following ETH’s upward trajectory. SHIB has also registered gains over the last few days.
Shiba Inu (SHIB) and Ethereum (ETH) share a common history. Even after SHIB’s launch in 2020, the team sent Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin half of the project’s entire supply. Buterin decided to burn 90% of the tokens he received and donate the rest to charity. Buterin’s actions led to a massive price spike for SHIB.
ETH’s latest rally may have also been propelled by lower-than-expected Consumer Price Index (CPI) figures. The low figures may lead the Federal Reserve to slash interest rates in its next meeting. A dip in interest rates may cause investors to take more risks. Shiba Inu (SHIB) is among the riskiest assets as it is a memecoin. We could see increased inflows into SHIB if borrowing becomes easier.
