SHIB was the third-most mentioned cryptocurrency on Twitter at press time, as per Cointrendz data. It attracted 2,291 tweets. The token also trended on CoinMarketCap.

A number of factors have been contributing to SHIB momentum this week, including its listing by Kraken, a major cryptocurrency exchange.
