On 9th December via a tweet, Ripple CTO David Schwartz, who is one of the creators of the digital token XRP, threw a jibe at Shiba Inu for its massive supply.
In the tweet, Schwartz joked that the theft of a zillion SHIB coins would be equal to the loss of just $1.37.
David Schwartz wrote, “Someone stole like a zillion Shiba Inu coins today; losses were estimated at like $1.37.”

At the time of press, Shiba Inu (SHIB) occupies the 13th position in the crypto market. Unlike Bitcoin (BTC), the largest cryptocurrency by market cap, which has a capped supply of 21 million, SHIB, the cryptocurrency dubbed a Dogecoin killer was designed to have a gargantuan supply.
The meme coin was launched in 2020 with a circulating supply of 1 quadrillion before gifting half of the supply to Vitalik Buterin, the co-founder of Ethereum, who later donated the majority of it to charity earlier this year. He then burned the remaining coins in an effort to distance himself from the project, a move termed as a positive gesture in the Shiba Inu community.
