The Shiba Inu listing on Robinhood has been one that has been in the works for a while. Although the trading platform had not said much regarding listing the meme coin, it was quite apparent that something would eventually give seeing the massive support that poured out for the listing on social media. Recently, Robinhood announced that it was listing the meme coin for trading on the platform and following this have been a lot of positive activities with regards to Shiba Inu.
Ethereum Whales Deepen BetEthereum whales have always been among the top supporters of Shiba Inu. They have invested in the digital asset in droves, although the downtrend after it hit its all-time high last year affected how much of the tokens were held by these whales. Nevertheless, the saying goes that there is always a light at the end of the tunnel, and at the end of that proverbial tunnel is the Robinhood listing, which has sparked renewed interest in the digital assets.
