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.
As earlier reported by Times Tabloid, Tech giant Sony has initiated the process of rebooting the Japanese cryptocurrency exchange Whalefin. This move signifies Sony’s entry into the digital asset trading market in Japan.

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.
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.

Sony’s involvement with S.BLOX follows its acquisition of Amber Japan (formerly DeCurret) in 2023. This acquisition marked Sony’s initial venture into the Japanese cryptocurrency exchange market. The rebranding to S.BLOX represents the second rebranding for the platform since its inception.
Although an official relaunch date for S.BLOX has not been announced, the development signifies Sony’s growing interest in the crypto space. The inclusion of SHIB on the platform has generated excitement within the Shiba Inu community, and its future performance on the exchange will be closely monitored.
