If Shiba Inu was an Indian company, it would be nearly as valuable as the 11th biggest player in the market, Bharti Airtel. The meme coin’s current market cap of $51.6 billion is nearly double what it was just 12 hours ago.

According to CoinDesk, Shiba Inu’s rally is being led by ‘smart money’ addresses — crypto traders who have earned more than $100,00 by providing and mining liquidity in decentralised finance (DeFi) protocols. These digital wallets have reportedly bought around $160 million worth of the token since the beginning of this week as per data from blockchain analysis firm Nansen.

Santiment, another crypto data firm, found that Shina Inu transactions worth at least $1 million have been increasing since the beginning of October.
