Shiba Inu: The Way Forward
Shiba Inu had a spectacular run in 2021 in terms of price, volume, and popularity. The meme-token became the talk of the town and dethroned the biggies Bitcoin and Ethereum in terms of search volumes online. Everyone wanted to be a part of the SHIB frenzy and invested in it hoping it could deliver them the desired financial results.
However, SHIB dipped from the start of 2022 but is now up +15% in the last 24-hours. The spike in price came after Zero Hedge reported that Robinhood would list Shiba Inu in February. Many other outlets jumped on the same bandwagon signaling that a listing is inevitable.

Nonetheless, Robinhood has not confirmed getting SHIB on board and remains to be tight-lipped about the development. We will have to wait and watch for an official confirmation from the top exchange platform about getting the meme token on board.
At the time of publishing, Shiba Inu was trading at $0.00003212 and is up +13.78% in the 24-hours day trade. The token is displaying bullish sentiments and if Robinhood confirms listing it, the price could take a giant leap forward.
