If You Invested $10 Monthly In Shiba Inu Since 2021, You'd Now Be A Half-Millionaire — Here's How

Shiba Inu SHIB/USD, a cryptocurrency created as a playful rival to Dogecoin DOGE/USD, entered the cryptocurrency market three years ago and experienced several remarkable rallies.

SHIB Reaches All-Time High

In 2021, it peaked before encountering a significant downturn during bearish market conditions. Some important events, including a tweet from Tesla founder Elon Musk expressing interest in owning a Shiba pup and a substantial donation of Shiba Inu coins by Ethereum ETH/USD co-founder Vitalik Buterin to an Indian Covid Crypto Relief Fund, brought Shiba Inu back into the spotlight.

If you had invested just $10 monthly in Shiba Inu starting from the beginning of 2021, when it gained popularity, your total investment would have amounted to $330. 

However, the gains would have been absolutely extraordinary, with your portfolio value soaring to $566,580.70 today, data from CryptoDCA, a dollar-cost averaging calculator for cryptocurrencies, shows.

Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) is an investment approach that involves regularly investing equal amounts of money at consistent intervals into a financial asset. This strategy helps eliminate emotional decision-making and promotes disciplined savings patterns. Regardless of the asset’s current price, the DCA method ensures that the same monetary amount is consistently used to make purchases.

At the time of writing, SHIB was trading at $0.000007238.
