Marijuana Stock Movers For October 18, 2024

<p><strong>Shiba Inu</strong> (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/shib/usd">SHIB</a>) is riding a price pump off the back of <strong>Dogecoin</strong> (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>) leading a broader meme coin rally.</p>
<p><strong>What Happened:</strong> On-chain intelligence firm Arkham Intelligence recently reported an unknown whale withdrawing 105.9 billion SHIB, valued at $1.99 million, from Coinbase in a transaction <a href="https://platform.arkhamintelligence.com/explorer/address/0x12F721Ef267690822CD703d4da303e3F62e8DE87">split</a> into three parts. This address hasn't appeared in prior on-chain activity, signaling potential bullish momentum for the meme coin.</p>
<p>Lucie, Shiba Inu's marketing lead, <a href="https://x.com/LucieSHIB/status/1846856174479552733">announced</a> that the Shiba Inu Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) and foundation are set to launch in 2024/2025. She added that the "Shib ecosystem is on the brink of a transformative shift, putting power in the hands of true holders."</p>
<p>Amid Dogecoin's 13% surge over the past 24 hours, crypto trader Bluntz <a href="https://x.com/Bluntz_Capital/status/1847102803669668051">advized</a> that Shiba Inu and <strong>Floki </strong>(CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">FLOKI</a>) are the &#8220;obvious catch-up plays&#8221; for those who missed the DOGE breakout.</p>
<p>Another trader, CryptoJack, noted that Shiba Inu is holding firm on its support trendline, anticipating a "huge pump" in the near future.</p>

<p><strong>Why It Matters: </strong>While Shiba Inu has seen gains, IntoTheBlock data shows large transaction volume decreasing by 32.3% and daily active addresses falling by 16.9%. Transactions greater than $100,000 are down from 190 to 118 in a single day. With gains rising for the meme coin, holders making profit have now spiked to 53%.</p>
<p>In the last 24 hours, 3.27 million SHIB coins were burned, driving the burn rate up by 27.2%. The meme coin rally follows Dogecoin's recent surge, fueled by Elon Musk's playful mention of a hypothetical &#8220;DOGE department&#8221; under a Trump administration.</p>
