Shib Is Now Available on the Mercado Bitcoin

Mercado Bitcoin made the official statement on the listing of Shiba Inu Coin via its Twitter account. Operations are set to start tomorrow. Shiba Inu is one of the most widely used cryptocurrencies in 2021, with a sizable following.

“One of the most appreciated coins in 2021 and which accumulates a veritable army of followers. That’s it! Tomorrow, $SHIBA will be available on MB, with a track record of over 18000% appreciation so far this year,” stated the tweet.

This announcement, however, has not circulated like the others dedicated to this type of operations and effort.  This can be attributed to the geographical position of Mercado Bitcoin on a continent where members of the Shibarmy are less than anywhere else.
