After the listing on Kraken two days ago, it’s great news for Shibarmy as Shiba Inu Coin will now be listed on Mercado Bitcoin. The exchange platform broke the news on Twitter today, stating that it will list SHIB tomorrow.
Given the volumes involved and also given the type of clientele, this is a very important step critical move for SHIB and for the entire community of investors that gravitates around it.
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. However, elated SHIB Fans also shared the news.
Nevertheless, the news is critical because Mercado Bitcoin is an important cryptocurrency exchange in terms of volume traded in the whole of South America. It is a continent that is always looking outward with greater conviction into the world of cryptocurrencies and investments.
