Amid Bitcoin crash, Dog-themed Alien Shiba Inu (ASHIB) turns Rs 1 lakh to Rs 20 lakh in 24

The cryptocurrency market is full of uncertainties. Probably no one can predict, or even logically guess, how the price of a particular coin may move. Generally, it has been witnessed that whenever the price of Bitcoin falls, a relative fall in prices of other popular crypto tokens also takes place. However, even in such situations, there is always a little known coin that bucks the trend.

Consider this: The price of a coin named Alien Shiba Inu (ASHIB) has increased by 1900% in 24 hours, according to CoinMarketCap data at the time of writing this report. This means, if a person had invested Rs 1 lakh in ASHIB, it would have grown to Rs 20 lakh in a day! ASHIB is targetting investors who may have missed the bull run of famous dog-themed coins like SHIBA Inu (SHIB).

Should you invest in ASHIB?

Beware, if you are thinking to make money from the ASHIB rally. There are several reasons. First, very little information is available about this coin. Second, it is ranked 3356 in terms of market capitalisation. No crypto expert would ever advise you to risk your money in such a lowly ranked coin. Third, it is not available on popular exchanges, and certainly not on any Indian crypto exchange.

What about DOGE and SHIB

Meanwhile, the prices of much-higher ranked dog-themes coins like SHIBA Inu (SHIB) and Dogecoin (DOGE) have been falling since the start of the new year. SHIBA Inu price has fallen to $ 0.00002828 from $0.00003401 on January 2nd 2022. SHIB is ranked 13th in terms of market capitalisation. The price of 12th ranked Dogecoin (DOGE) has come down to $0.1501 from $0.173 on 2nd January 2020.
