• Shiba Inu (SHIB) became the most traded coin on WazirX in May 2024.

• The number of new accounts on the network skyrocketed by an astounding 3,436% within just 24 hours.

In a tweet by India’s top crypto exchange, Wazir X, Shiba Inu (SHIB) has dominated the trading charts, surpassing Bitcoin (BTC), Floki (FLOKI), and Pepe (PEPE) in trading volume in May 2024. This notable performance highlights SHIB’s growing prominence among Indian crypto traders.

Shiba Inu’s ascension to the top of WazirX’s trading charts reflects its sustained popularity. Following SHIB, Bob Token (BOB), a meme coin associated with the X bot “Explain This Bob,”  secured the second position.  Pepe (PEPE), another meme coin, claimed the third spot, demonstrating its increasing traction among investors. Floki (FLOKI) and Bitcoin (BTC) rounded out the top five, taking the fourth and fifth positions, respectively. Despite Bitcoin’s historic dominance in the crypto market, its trading volume on WazirX was lower than that of these emerging tokens in May.

Shiba Inu’s strong performance in May 2024 is not an isolated incident. The coin has been consistently popular on WazirX, maintaining its position as the most traded token in April 2024. In December 2023, WazirX highlighted Shiba Inu among its most traded tokens, with SHIB only trailing behind Bitcoin. This consistent trading activity indicates a robust and sustained interest in SHIB, driven by its community and market dynamics.
