The Shiba Inu memecoin (SHIB), which emerged with the sole purpose of being a cryptoactive to “kill” the Dogecoin (DOGE), has been gaining more and more followers and arousing the interest of large companies in the ecosystem.
Proof of this is that Gemini, one of the largest exchanges in the cryptocurrency market, announced that it will offer trading pairs on SHIB and other tokens:
“We are pleased to announce support for Shiba Inu (SHIB) as well as a variety of new DeFi, metaverse, infrastructure and data management tokens,” said the company.
As soon as the announcement was made by Gemini, the token showed a slight appreciation. After all, investors believe the listing could also push for a similar Robinhood decision.
Shiba investors and supporters have developed a fixation on a listing in Robinhood. And, to achieve their goal, they put together an online petition that has already gathered more than 531 thousand signatures.

However, despite SHIB’s petition and broad community support for the listing, Robinhood has recently unveiled its currency listing strategy. At the time, the company indicated that it is in no hurry to add new currencies to its platform.
The company has not said definitively whether or not it will list SHIB. But it has signaled that it is not willing to give in to pressure from its customers.
Meanwhile, Coinbase made Shiba Inu available to New York residents earlier this month. Although the fact was celebrated by the community, the exchange listed on Nasdaq has offered SHIB on the platform for months.
The exchange Kraken said on Twitter that it would list the SHIB token if its tweet got 2,000 likes. However, when the SHIB community delivered more than 80,000 likes, the company failed to deliver on its promise.
