Shiba Inu Leaves Dogecoin in the Dust as Coinbase Adds Support for the SHIB Crypto

Shiba Inu (CCC:SHIB-USD) has promised to be the “Dogecoin (CCC:DOGE-USD) killer,” but many investors have not been convinced. Today though, the network is giving DOGE a run for its money. A listing on Coinbase (NASDAQ:COIN) as well as Binance (CCC:BNB-USD), coupled with some new upgrade teasers is lifting the token up in a huge way. Now, the SHIB crypto really does stand to overtake Dogecoin as the king of meme cryptos.

It’s been quite a busy week for the Shiba Inu community.

In the last couple of days, the token has seen listing on two of the largest crypto exchanges in the world. Tuesday saw Binance’s announcement that SHIB trading would begin imminently on its U.S. platform. Wednesday saw the actual launch of the listing. Of course, being the largest exchange in the world by transaction volume, the token got a large boost in exposure and accessibility.

Keeping the good times rolling is Thursday’s news, which saw trading begin for Shiba Inu on the Coinbase platform. Coinbase, the second-largest crypto exchange in the world, just recently added SHIB to its Pro platform after months of delay. Now, Shiba Inu is moving into the big leagues on the main Coinbase platform.

Exchange Listings, Layer 2 Teasers Help SHIB Crypto Overtake DOGE Volume

Beyond the two listings, the SHIB crypto is also seeing increasingly bullish sentiment surrounding coming updates. The SHIB founder, Shytoshi Kusama, is taking to the crypto network’s Discord server to make a big announcement. Developers are apparently exploring the idea of bringing a Layer-2 solution to the network. By implementing another blockchain layer, developers can boost transactions speeds; this is because transaction data can more efficiently travel below the surface in its own layer.

The new plans for the network, alongside the huge exchange listings, is launching SHIB into space. The token is up 32% in value this morning. And the broad exposure the two new exchanges grant SHIB is paying off significantly. In fact, the token is passing Dogecoin in average trading volume this morning. Where DOGE saw $2.2 billion in transactions over the last 24 hours, SHIB is now seeing $2.6 billion. The surge in popularity is also making Shiba Inu the No. 1 trending crypto on CoinMarketCap.

Dogecoin surges 30% to a record above 50 cents as speculative crypto trading continues

Dogecoin , the cryptocurrency based off a viral dog meme from nearly a decade ago, surged 30% on Tuesday to set a new record high at more than 50 cents per coin. The cryptocurrency was trading at about 54 cents, according to data from Coin Metrics. Dogecoin rose to roughly 40 cents per coin last month before falling sharply for several days after the calendar turned to April 20, a date widely celebrated as a marijuana-themed holiday. Dogecoin was started as a joke in 2013 amid a boom in early cryptocurrencies. It was based on a popular internet meme at the time that featured a Shiba Inu dog and cartoon-style text over the image. Its rise in recent months has been highlighted by many as a sign of froth and speculation in the financial markets, particularly among younger investors who started trading during the pandemic. The coin has been boosted in recent weeks by billionaires Elon Musk and Mark Cuban , who have both mentioned Dogecoin on Twitter multiple times. Cuba...

Tom Selleck is tortured daily because of his long-term disease, his friends say

If rumors are to be believed, fans of the 'man behind the mustache' might have considerable cause for alarm over the actor's health. Several articles have recently made the rounds, all with the same premise: Hollywood heartthrob, Tom Selleck is facing rapidly declining health as he suffers from a debilitating bout of arthritis. One such source to lay claim to Selleck's failing health is Ghanamma.com, whose information is supported by The Nation, an online newspaper. Both sources state that Selleck's arthritis is becoming increasingly painful and hindering, to the point where he can no longer do his own stunts. More than that, however, the publications reported that Selleck uses a stunt double not only for demanding, challenging scenes, but also for the more trivial, mundane tasks, such as simply climbing out of his police vehicle on set while filming Blue Bloods. Some days are worse than others for the former action star, unnamed sources said, claiming tha...

THE WOMAN ALEX PRETTI TRIED TO SAVE FINALLY BREAKS SILENCE — HER SHOCKING REVELATION COULD SHAKE THE INVESTIGATION

THE WOMAN ALEX PRETTI TRIED TO SAVE FINALLY BREAKS SILENCE — HER SHOCKING REVELATION COULD SHAKE THE INVESTIGATION In the chaotic moments before Alex Pretti was fatally shot by federal agents in Minneapolis earlier this month, another American was directly involved — a woman he was reportedly trying to assist when the deadly encounter unfolded. Video and eyewitness accounts from the incident show Pretti moving toward her after she was shoved to the ground by immigration officers during an operation. Now, that woman has stepped forward with a startling account. According to sworn affidavits and witness testimony filed in court , she says Pretti was not advancing on agents with a weapon , as federal authorities initially claimed, but instead was attempting to help her after she had been knocked down. Her statement — included in legal filings challenging the official narrative — paints a dramatically different picture of the moments leading...
