However, SHIB fans were not too happy with the announcement due to the significant decline in the price of the meme coin over the past year. As per CoinMarketCap, the price of SHIB is 90.15% low than its all-time high of $0.00008845 witnessed on Oct. 28, 2021.

The price of 1 SHIB token was $0.000008705 as of 9:43 p.m. ET Sunday, and people pointed out that such low prices won't buy anything. Some investors called the meme coin "worthless."

After making multiple headlines in 2021s, the SHIB craze led to multiple firms accepting the second-largest meme coin in the industry. American movie theater chain, AMC Theatres, had stated in April that it will accept meme coins Dogecoin (DOGE) and Shiba Inu along with other cryptocurrencies.

Exactly as promised, the AMC mobile app for AMC’s U.S. theatres now accepts online payments using Doge Coin, Shiba Inu, and other crypto currencies — thanks to Bitpay. Also Apple Pay, Google Pay and Paypal. To do so, you first will need to update to the latest version of our app. pic.twitter.com/MMy7SIxYbl
