Shiba Inu (SHIB) has gained attention within the cryptocurrency community following the announcement of Sony’s relaunch of a Japanese crypto exchange, S.BLOX (formerly Whalefin). This development has raised interest among SHIB holders, as the meme coin is one of the few cryptocurrencies currently supported by the platform.

The company has taken several steps, including rebranding the parent firm Amber Japan to S.BLOX, upgrading the existing Whalefin platform to improve user experience by adding new trading features, and launching a new mobile app to enhance accessibility.
Shiba Inu’s Presence on S.BLOX
The significance of SHIB lies in its inclusion on the S.BLOX platform. This detail was highlighted by prominent Shiba Inu community member Lola on X. While some media outlets have portrayed the relaunch as a Bitcoin exchange, Lola emphasizes the presence of a wider range of cryptocurrencies, including Shiba Inu (SHIB).
According to Lola, the dominance of Bitcoin in media narratives shouldn’t overshadow the potential impact on altcoins like SHIB. Historically, altcoins have often followed Bitcoin’s trends during bull markets. She emphasizes that the key takeaway is SHIB’s inclusion in the Sony-backed exchange, a development termed as positive by the Shiba Inu community.
