Shiba Inu surpasses DOGE in market value backed by 'smart money'

Shiba Inu, the self-proclaimed dogecoin killer, briefly surpassed DOGE in market value Wednesday, backed by "smart money" worth about £116 Million from the past seven days.

This comes as ads for Floki, a meme-based coin named after Tesla CEO Elon Musk's shiba inu dog, have appeared on London's transportation network in recent weeks.
