Shiba inu started the week by dropping to its lowest point since June, as a red wave swept through cryptocurrency markets. This has pushed the global market cap 1.20% lower at the time of writing. XRP fell by as much as 5%, as Ripple’s battle with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) continued.
Shiba Inu (SHIB )

Overall, SHIB has now fallen lower for four consecutive days, and seems to be heading towards the $0.00000680 zone.
XRP

XRP/USD dropped to a low of $0.4682 on the news, which came following a high of $0.5007 the day prior.
