The report follows Shiba Inu being featured on the purported largest digital outdoor billboard in the U.S. — located in downtown Los Angeles — by major American electronics retailer Newegg Commerce Inc. NEGG. According to a recent analysis, an investment in Shiba Inu of just $15 would be enough to make its investor a millionaire if done early enough in the coin's history.
