Shiba Inu
Why Shiba Inu is down 1.0% in the last hour
Analysis
Shiba Inu (SHIB) slipped about 1.0% over the past hour as traders reacted to renewed attention on Vitalik Buterin’s past SHIB donation and the subsequent cash-out by a recipient group, which can raise short-term sensitivity around supply/overhang narratives. Reports noted Buterin questioning the political pivot of an AI safety group that cashed out roughly $500M from his SHIB donation (The Block) and that he has been distancing himself from a nonprofit backed by the SHIB donation (Cointelegraph), while U.Today revisited what he did with the 2021 SHIB donation.
