Price charts suggest the move followed a bounce from resistance-turned-support levels of $0.000027. However, the token remains in a broader downtrend as prices have dropped 62% since reaching an all-time high of $0.00008 in October 2021.
The price bump came shortly after rumors of a listing on Robinhood did the rounds on Twitter.
“Shiba Inu Robinhood listing said to come as early as [February],” a tweet by business news handle ZeroHedge read. Robinhood did not return requests for comment.
Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev previously denied plans for listing shiba inu on the influential stock trading application in October 2021. “It goes back to safety first, right. 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,” he said in an interview with CNBC.
Additionally, shiba inu was listed on Bitso, one of Mexico’s largest crypto exchanges by trading volumes. However, the announcement did little to affect prices, trading data shows.
