In the wake of this burning, investors were expecting an appreciation in the price value of SHIB. However, much to the disappointment, SHIB dropped by 1.17% over the day to $0.0000101 but was still up by 23% during the week. In fact, the volume on the network was also down 42% over the day as it battled through the market uncertainties.
The social dominance metric has, however, taken a huge leap since the morning of 24 June. Not exactly scratch-proof, but SHIB has held through the bearish waves of the crash this month.

While Shiba Inu is managing its way out, the market saw another domino fall in the face of a liquidation crisis. Physical futures crypto exchange CoinFLEX became the latest to pause withdrawals on its exchange after Celsius and Babel Finance.
On the other hand, Crypto broker Voyager Digital has also been in the news lately after issuing a statement about withdrawal limits this week. The daily withdrawal limit on the platform was reduced from $25,000 to $10,000.
