Meme-coins and decentralised finance (DeFi) get a lot of bad press – but what happens when bad press pays?
This question has played out in the crypto space in August 2022.
And the answer is that top meme-coin Shiba Inu and leading DeFi project EverGrow have given returns far higher than Bitcoin. Shiba Inu has grown 26.3% in the past seven days and EverGrow is up 24.6% – meanwhile Bitcoin is down -1.26% and Ether is up just 1.36% in the week leading to August 17th.
Had you invested in Shiba Inu and EverGrow, you’d have made a quarter of your investment back already.
Let’s take a look at what caused these price pumps.
We’ll examine what’s just around the corner for Shiba and EverGrow.

The price of Shiba Inu pumped from $0.000012 to $0.000017 within 48 hours between August 12-14.
The price spike far outpaced other top cryptocurrencies and allowed Shiba Inu to flip DAI, Polygon and Avalanche to become the 12th biggest token by market cap.
But what caused it?
According to crypto analysis firm Santiment, it was large Shiba Inu holders (aka whales) who caused the SHIB pump this last week. These large wallets produced more than 433 SHIB transactions valued at more than $100,000.
The surge in transactions saw the most SHIB activity in four months – while some of these transactions were sells, the majority were large buys which helped to push the Shiba Inu significantly up.
In terms of trading indicators, the price of SHIB broke past its 200-day moving average.
Shiba Inu is trading at $0.0000156 as of August 17th. EverGrow – market cap jumps 33.2% in five days
On August 12 the chairman of EverGrow named the modest market cap of EverGrow at $75 million – today, that’s now $99.9 million.
EverGrow is a token with a much smaller market cap than Shiba Inu up at $9.1 billion.
But that only makes the potential for returns even greater.
EverGrow is the leading reflection token paying stablecoin passive income in Binance-Pegged USD (BUSD). Since launching in only September last year, EverGrow has paid more than $37.5 million to its holders – during the bull rally last October/November, the EverGrow market cap swelled to well over $1.5 billion.And then came the crypto crash.But while other DeFi projects (think Terra Luna) and DeFi protocols (think Celsius or Voyager) have completely collapsed, EverGrow has emerged as a leader to revolutionise the DeFi space.How?Through a mechanism for passive return that cannot fail – reflections. EverGrow charges a transaction tax on every buy/sell order at 14%. An 8% cut of this is redistributed instantly in BUSD to all holders. It works because any large sell-offs still contribute to passive income.Speaking of which, news recently dropped that had you bought $5,000 of EverGrow back in October last year you would have made $12,580 in BUSD by now.Sounds interesting?That’s what the traders who pushed the price hike way beyond Bitcoin also thought.
