Shiba Inu is listed on 99 different trading platforms around the world and all top exchanges allow their users to trade SHIB. Vivid Money was the 99th exchange to get the token onboard and Europe’s leading platform Bitstamp might be the 100th. Nonetheless, investors are looking forward to Robinhood being the 100th exchange to list Shiba Inu. They believe they might announce a listing after their much-awaited ‘crypto wallet’ is released.

Bitstamp had announced listing Shiba Inu in December last year but didn’t get it on board due to ”technical issues”. However, the exchange confirmed they would list the token after resolving the issues. Bitstamp has not given a tentative timeline to get SHIB onboard yet.

Here’s How Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev Had Reacted Previously When Asked About Listing Shiba Inu

Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev was first confronted on live television during a segment with Jim Cramer in CNBC’s ‘Mad Money’. Cramer straightforward asked Tenev in October last year, that people are talking about SHIB and Robinhood on social media. “People are chatting about Shiba. Do you see Shiba being traded (on your platform)?”

Tenev seemed to be taken aback by the question and maintained a pause while giving out a smile. He answered, ”We only offer seven coins currently and I think it goes back to safety first. So we’re not generally going to be the first to add any new asset. We want to make sure that it goes through a stringent set of criteria.”
