Last week, the Shiba Inu-inspired cryptocurrency managed to achieve another important milestone that was celebrated by its community. The number of BabyDoge holders hit a record 1.15 million, surpassing the number of Shiba Inu SHIB/USD holders.

Why It Matters: BabyDoge was first launched in May 2021 as a token built on the Binance Smart Chain.

Like many meme coins in the crypto space, the token saw its price appreciate significantly after a tweet from Tesla Inc TSLA CEO Elon Musk in July 2021.

After Musk’s tweet, BabyDoge surged nearly 450% to an all-time high of $0.000000005890 over the span of one week.

The meme coin is currently trading at a price of $0.000000003856 which is 34% below its all-time high, but is still up 3980% from its lowest point in June 2021.

Conversely, Dogecoin DOGE/USD is down 80% from its peak price in 2021 and just 53% of holders are still making money on their initial investment.
