Shiba Inu (SHIB) plummeted during the crypto market crash of May and this led to a significant decline in the market value of one of the most popular meme-inspired currencies.
Shiba Inu remains the second-largest meme-inspired digital currency by market capitalization in June 2022. Despite the steep decline in the price of SHIB, the token is among the top 20 digital assets by market value. SHIB closed the fifth month of the year with a market capitalization of around $6.44 billion, according to Be[In]Crypto Research.
This was a 45% decrease from the opening day’s market value. On May 1, SHIB saw a trading volume in the region of $848.06 million and this corresponded to a market capitalization of around $11.85 billion.

The decrease in liquidity was a result of central banks’ hiking rates, the rising dollar index, uncertain outcomes of the Russia/Ukraine crisis, and renewed interest in less volatile assets.
In May, the number of large transactions involving SHIB reached a high of 343.71 million at a price of $0.000017 on May 10.
