SHIB “urged” to soar to $0.01
While large investors are buying and selling millions of USD worth of SHIB to make profits, ordinary holders and businesses are burning these meme tokens in an attempt to remove as many SHIB as they can from the circulating supply in an attempt to push the SHIB price higher – to the $0.01 level and above it.
