As CriptoNoticias reported days ago, Shrub (SHRUB) is a meme cryptoactive (or memecoin) that "inhabits" the Ethereum network.
This token is inspired by Shrub, which is one of the pets of Elon Musk, owner of Tesla, X and SpaceX, among other companies.
The real Shrub is a hedgehog about which the businessman has spoken in some publications on X.
In addition, there are rumors and indications that this hedgehog could become (or even already be) the official mascot of Tesla.
On Saturday, December 7, this information portal showed that the number of SHRUB token holders (or, more precisely, the number of Ethereum wallets with a SHRUB balance greater than zero) was approximately 12,000.
At the time of this publication, as verified on block explorers or tracking pages on-chain pricing, such as DexTools, There are 13,290 wallets that have SHRUB. This represents an increase of 10.75% in just 48 hours.
SHRUB price has also been on the rise over the weekend. While on Saturday morning each SHRUB was trading on Uniswap (and some centralized exchanges) for $0.053, in the evening of the same day its price reached $0.085. The rise to that peak was 60%.
At the time of this publication, as can be seen in the image below, SHRUB is trading at $0.071.

The apparently legitimate photograph shows the Tesla platform confirming to a customer that her purchase order for a Model X was successful. Right there you see a hedgehog saying "haha, yes!"
Secondarily the rise of SHRUB has also been influenced by the fact that the token arrives in the Pixelverse metaverse.
«We are excited to announce that Shrub, Elon Musk's pet hedgehog 🦔 and Tesla mascot, is now part of the Pixelverse gaming ecosystem! 🎮”, the official account of that metaverse published on X.
Pixelverse's X account is followed by almost 3 million people. Many of them probably learned yesterday, at the time of publication, of the existence of a token called SHRUB.
The hope of the holders: a word from Elon Musk
Among the 13,290 SHRUB holders there is a f
