Shiba Inu Coin Price Soars as Coinbase Pro Announces SHIB Cryptocurrency Trading

The price of shiba inu cryptocurrency got a boost Tuesday after Coinbase announced that the meme crypto will start trading on Coinbase Pro as early as this week. This announcement follows Coinbase adding trading for dogecoin.

Coinbase Pro Adds Shiba Inu Trading

Following the listing of the meme cryptocurrency dogecoin (DOGE) early this month, Coinbase announced Tuesday that the shiba inu (SHIB) crypto will start trading on Coinbase Pro this week. The ERC20 crypto shiba inu is seen by some as an alternative token to dogecoin.

The Nasdaq-listed company says that starting immediately, Coinbase Pro users can transfer shiba inu tokens into their accounts. However, SHIB will not be available to New York residents. The company clarified:

Trading will begin on or after 9AM Pacific Time (PT) Thursday June 17, if liquidity conditions are met.

The announcement also covers chiliz (CHZ) and the keep network (KEEP). Besides dogecoin, the company recently added trading support for a number of tokens on Coinbase Pro, including polkadot (DOT), gitcoin (GTC), enzyme token (MLN), amp (AMP), and internet computer (ICP).

Once sufficient supply of the shiba inu cryptocurrency is established on the Coinbase Pro platform, trading of SHIB-USD and SHIB-USDT order books will launch in three phases, post-only, limit-only and full trading, the company detailed.

Coinbase launched the trading of dogecoin earlier this month. The company tweeted on Jun 3, “Our DOGE-BTC, DOGE-EUR, DOGE-GBP, and DOGE-USDT order books are now in full-trading mode. Limit, market and stop orders are all now available.”

The Congolese Mountain of Gold: Surprise Discovery in Africa Shows Metal’s Scarcity Is Hard to Prove

A myriad of gold bugs like to compliment the yellow precious metal for its ostensible scarcity, as estimates say only 2,500 to 3,000 tons of new gold is produced annually. While new gold discoveries have seemingly slowed, investigative studies also show that in some areas, gold is being smuggled into the economy by the ton, and often never accounted for as far as per annum issuance estimates. Recently, reports show a whole mountain of gold was discovered in the Congo, as the Democratic Republic of the Congo is well known for being a region that sees tons of smuggled gold filtered into the global financial system unreported. Surprise Gold Deposits Continue to Crack the Precious Metal’s Scarcity Proposition It has always been said that the precious metal gold (Au) is scarce, and some reports even say that gold mining on earth will end by the year 2050 .
