SHIB price peaks and falls
On Tuesday, Jan. 21, the Shiba Inu meme coin demonstrated an impressive price surge, spiking by 7.71% and reaching the $0.00002126 level as a local daily high. However, that price momentum was followed by a decline of 3.85%, and SHIB is currently changing hands at $0.00002043.

On Monday, it rocketed to a new all-time high of $109,114 for the first time since Dec. 16, driven by the approaching inauguration of Donald Trump.
Crypto world celebrates Ross Ulbricht's pardon
Today, the global cryptocurrency community is celebrating the long-anticipated pardon and the upcoming release of Ross Ulbricht – the founder of the Silk Road darknet marketplace, which in 2012 was the first platform to adopt Bitcoin as a means of payment. However, vendors on it sold mostly illegal drugs, weapons and illegal services.
The platform was shut down in 2013, and Ulbricht received two consecutive lifetime sentences from the judge. The newly elected president Donald Trump has granted a pardon to Ross Ulbricht.
