SHIB Plummets 22% to Hit New Monthly Low Amidst Cryptocurrency Market Turbulence”
In a startling turn of events, the Shiba Inu (SHIB) token has plummeted by a staggering 22% in the past two hours. Consequently, the price of SHIB has remained stagnant at $0.0000094 per token, adding zero value amidst a $500 million bloodbath in the cryptocurrency market.
This sudden collapse in SHIB’s value is part of a broader decline in the cryptocurrency market. Nearly half a billion dollars’ worth of positions were liquidated within just an hour, marking an astonishing 91.3% of long positions. This massive event sent shockwaves of deleveraging across the cryptocurrency space.
Amidst this turmoil, derivatives linked to SHIB witnessed a surge in trading volume, experiencing a 150% increase. However, open interest in contracts simultaneously decreased by 20%, shedding light on the nature of deleveraging in this sell-off.

The company anticipates that the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) will deprive all issuers of the ability to create immediate Bitcoin Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) in January 2024.
Matrixport, a financial services company, warns of potential successive liquidation events if the SEC fails to give the green light. It anticipates Bitcoin’s price to range between $36,000 to $38,000 according to its analysts.
