But as the dust settles, there are signs the coin is struggling to capture the same attention.
When news emerged that eToro would list the coin on their platform, Shiba Inu only gained two percent of its value.
The response was branded “bleak” by Sheldon McIntyre, an editor at FXStreet, an online Forex analysis publication.
He said the lack of response from eToro traders signalled “waning interest”, and fewer people discuss the coin on social media.
