The 2023 Blockchain Futurist Conference unveiled the finalized Shib World paper, details about the TREAT token, and launched Shibarium. Toronto, dubbed the “Silicon Valley of the North,” is a tech hub closely tied to Ethereum, as its creator, Vitalik Buterin, is from the city.
Shiba Inu 1D Chart
Following the sponsorship announcement, Shiba Inu’s price surged. It trades at $0.00002545, up 9.72% in the last 24 hours and 10.53% over the past week. SHIB/USD on Shibaswap sees a slight increase, trading above the 9-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA).
However, technical indicators like the Stochastic Relative Strength Index (Stoch RSI) show an overbought condition, suggesting a potential pullback or consolidation. High trading volumes during price increases point to strong buying interest, although significant sell-offs are also present.
