The popularity of Shiba Inu (SHIB) memecurrency reached new heights this week, as the popular canine coin’s community recorded three times faster social growth than other crypto projects in the TOP 10.

To illustrate, SHIB picked up 32,455 new members on Telegram, significantly more than the runner-up MEXC (MX), which onboarded 11,768 new Telegram members. This comes just a couple of weeks after Shytoshi Kusama carried out the developer purge within the community.

On that note, Shytoshi also set up a new Telegram channel called “All Things Shibarium Shy/ Official” for all things Shibarium, which has already surpassed 20,000 members. However, there are a couple of trendy unofficial Telegram groups for Shibarium, which also have tens of thousands of members.
