Shiba inu supporters are petitioning on Change.org for the trading platform Robinhood to list the shiba inu token for trading. Robinhood currently lists the same cryptocurrency dogecoin which accounted for 62% of the company’s crypto trading volume in the second quarter.
Petition to Get Robinhood to List Shiba Inu
A petition on Change.org for the trading platform Robinhood to list the shiba inu crypto has garnered almost 400,000 signatures.
As of this writing, nearly 397,000 people have signed the petition. If the petition gathers 500K signatures, it would become one of the top signed petitions on Change.org.
The petition, started by SHIB supporter Tristan Luke, explains that it “is designed to kindly ask Robinhood to kindly list the shiba inu coins to be traded,” adding:
Dogecoin has been a huge success for Robinhood, and its investors. We have all enjoyed the ride. Shiba Inu is a similar coin with real potential, up 2,000% in recent weeks.
The petition further describes that the cryptocurrency’s “momentum grows by the hour,” noting that “Half the questions when we log into trading forums ask ‘How can I buy Shiba?’”
Robinhood currently offers dogecoin trading. In his second quarter earnings call, Jason Warnick, the company’s chief financial officer, said: “62% of crypto trading volume was in dogecoin in the second quarter, up from 34% in the first quarter.”
The shiba inu coin has gained tremendous momentum this week, briefly flipping dogecoin Wednesday. However, DOGE regained its place as the ninth largest cryptocurrency. At the time of writing, SHIB is up 8.2% in the last 24 hours, 150% over the past seven days, and 953% over the past 30 days.
Last week, Robinhood’s smaller competing platform, Public.com, began supporting shiba inu on its platform. Public began offering cryptocurrency trading earlier this month. SHIB is also available for trading on Coinbase. It was listed on Coinbase Pro in June. In September, the Nasdaq-listed crypto exchange announced that SHIB was available on Coinbase.com and in the Coinbase Android and iOS apps.
Not everyone is impressed with the shiba inu coin, however. “Big Short” investor Michael Burry recently said SHIB was “unnecessary”. Tesla CEO Elon Musk said this week that he does not own any SHIB.
