Meme coins burst onto the scene in early 2021 and helped kickstart the bull market after Dogecoin rallied above $0.01 to new highs while being shilled by the likes of Elon Musk and Mark Cuban.

In the last two weeks, SHIB has rocketed to new highs and befuddled cryptocurrency traders are scratching their heads as to what the exact cause is.
