Early Days for SHIB on Backpack

While SHIB trading is now live, it’s important to note that initial trading activity for the token remains modest on Backpack. As of press time, the total value of SHIB traded on the platform exceeds $59.51, indicating that the volume isn’t yet substantial enough to influence the overall price of the token. According to CoinMarketCap, SHIB is currently trading at $0.00002507, reflecting a 4.80% increase over the past 24 hours.

Shiba Inu’s Growing Exchange Presence

The listing on Backpack marks another step forward in expanding SHIB’s accessibility to a wider crypto audience. This development follows a series of recent exchange listings for the token, further bolstering its presence in the market.

Notably, Binance Japan’s listing of SHIB triggered a momentary surge of 360%, with the token reaching a price of $0.00011 on the Japanese exchange. Additionally, Nexo finally responded to community requests and listed SHIB last month, solidifying its commitment by releasing educational content about the token.

Given SHIB’s continued rise in prominence, it’s likely that more crypto exchanges will consider adding the token to their offerings in the future. This broader availability can potentially contribute to increased adoption and liquidity for Shiba Inu within the cryptocurrency space.
