Shiba Inu (SHIB/USD) Traded Higher on Sunday, Defying the Broader Meme Coin Correction

The second-largest meme coin by market capitalization jumped 5.45% over the previous day, with trading volume surging 189% to $340 million

Popular dog-themed cryptocurrency Shiba Inu SHIB/USD traded higher on Sunday, defying the broader meme coin correction.

What Happened: The second-largest meme coin by market capitalization rose 5.45% over the previous day, with trading volume surging 189% to $341 million in the last 24 hours.

In doing so, SHIB became the most successful large-cap meme coin in the last 24 hours, outperforming Dogecoin DOGE/USD and several others that recorded losses.

The rally followed a massive 62,000% jump in the token's burn rate, boosted by a meteoric rise in transactions on the ecosystem's Layer-2 blockchain Shibarium.

Note that a portion of transaction fees paid on Shibarium are set aside and burned. This is done to create scarcity and, over time, increase the token's market value.

Why It Matters: Widely followed cryptocurrency analyst Javon Marks maintained a $0.000081 price target for SHIB, which represented a 500% upside over the current price.

"As prices continue to hold at a breakout and have been showing responsiveness to this breakout with another nearly +500% upside required to reach this target, could still be well in the works," the analyst said.
