The people of India, one of the most densely populated countries in the world, have been ditching Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) for the popular memecoin Shiba Inu (SHIB). In a country where crypto is strictly curbed by taxes, the spike in trading activity is rather unconventional. Indian investors have switched from the plunging stock market and the falling rupee to something that’s more resistant to external factors.
