Shiba Inu's X Account Followed a Token With 700 Followers. Here's What Happened Next

Source Beincrypto

The official Shiba Inu X account now follows WOOF, a new Ethereum meme coin that trades mainly against SHIB. WOOF’s price on that SHIB pair rose 971% in 24 hours, according to DEX Screener.

The WOOF account joined X this month and has fewer than 700 followers. A single follow from Shiba Inu pushed the little-known token into the spotlight.

Shiba Inu Follow Draws Attention to a Brand-New Token

Notably, the WOOF account follows only one profile itself. Its bio describes the token as paired with SHIB, and its pinned post shares the contract address. DEX Screener data confirms that pairing on-chain.

On-chain data shows WOOF is an ERC-20 token with a fixed supply of 1 billion. Its main pool on Uniswap v4 opened on September 28. The pool pairs the token with SHIB rather than ETH or a stablecoin. As a result, buyers need SHIB to reach the deepest WOOF market.

Thin Liquidity Leaves WOOF Open to Sharp Swings

The SHIB pair holds about $180,000 in liquidity. It recorded roughly $1.5 million in trading volume over the past day. Buy orders outnumbered sells, 2,653 to 1,875. The token’s market capitalization sits near $1.1 million, and Etherscan lists 882 holders.

Such a shallow pool can amplify price moves in both directions. The contract code includes buy and hold caps, along with a guard mechanism for the launch phase.

For SHIB, the timing adds context. Shiba Inu’s layer-2 network saw Shibarium usage collapse earlier this year. Meanwhile, the team recently credited community posting for a SHIB rally that still trailed the market. Against that backdrop, a buzzy new SHIB pair gives holders one more place to use their tokens.

A follow is not an endorsement, though. So far, the Shiba Inu team has not publicly explained why it follows WOOF. The key question for traders is whether demand for the token holds once the attention fades. A cooling hype cycle would hit a pool this shallow hardest.

Here is the repricing, the language behind it, and the two data points that decide it.

Nvidia's $150 billion buyback landed — and the AI sector fell anyway. That's the signal worth tradingNvidia closed up 1.68% at $228.86 on 28 September after announcing a $150 billion share repurchase authorisation, the largest single corporate buyback on record, while the rest of the AI complex sold off: AMD -3.6%, Micron -2.6%, Meta -4.8% and the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index -1.61%. The divergence is not noise. Capital is rotating toward cash-flow certainty, not abandoning the AI theme. With Micron reporting after the close on 30 September, here is what the split means.
