Not many crypto assets have it in them to beat Bitcoin in any segment. However, there was one to achieve the unattainable - Shiba INU. Shiba Inu was the most popular crypto in 2021, with 43 million more views than Bitcoin. We can say that Shiba Inu 'barked' the most in 2021, becoming the alpha among the dog-theme cryptos.

If you still don't know Shiba Inu, it is an Ethereum-based altcoin or meme coin that features the Japanese dog breed Shiba Inu as its mascot. Shiba Inu became a household name in 2021, with its price soaring more than tenfold in October 2021. As SHIB grew in popularity and market capitalization, more crypto exchanges began to accept it for listing. In India, CoinSwitch Kuber has recently listed Shiba Inu on their platform, and trading starts from ₹100.
