Bitpay Now Supports Shiba Inu (SHIB)<\/h2>\n

Crypto payment service provider Bitpay announced Thursday that it now supports the meme cryptocurrency shiba inu (SHIB).<\/p>\n

\u201cAttention Shibarmy,\u201d the company wrote, confirming that shiba inu coins are now available at Bitpay. \u201cNow you can buy, store, swap, and spend with this Ethereum ERC-20 token directly in the Bitpay app,\u201d the platform detailed. \u201cConsumers can now pay and merchants can immediately accept shiba inu (SHIB) for payments,\u201d the official Twitter account for Bitpay tweeted.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

With the addition of shiba inu, Bitpay now supports 13 cryptocurrencies, including XRP<\/a>. However, its website details that the cryptos that can be used to pay a Bitpay invoice are \u201cbitcoin (BTC<\/a>), bitcoin cash (BCH<\/a>), ethereum (ETH<\/a>), wrapped bitcoin (WBTC), dogecoin (DOGE), litecoin (LTC<\/a>), shiba inu coin (SHIB), and 5 USD-pegged stablecoins (GUSD, USDC, USDP, DAI, and BUSD).\u201d Bitpay stressed, \u201cWe only accept ERC-20 coins on the ETH<\/a> network.\u201d<\/p>\n

Newegg Announces SHIB Now Accepted for Payments, AMC Theatres to Follow<\/h2>\n

Two major retailers have been preparing to accept shiba inu through Bitpay: Newegg<\/a> and AMC Theatres.<\/p>\n

\u201cNewegg and AMC Theaters have announced that they will be accepting shiba inu as a form of payment using Bitpay in the upcoming months,\u201d Bitpay\u2019s Thursday announcement notes.<\/p>\n

However, the retail giant Newegg is not waiting. Soon after Bitpay\u2019s SHIB announcement, Newegg tweeted that its platform now accepts SHIB for payments. Newegg is able to accept shiba inu fast because it already uses Bitpay<\/a> to process cryptocurrency payments.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

As for AMC Theaters, CEO Adam Aron previously said that his company is expected to accept SHIB in the first quarter of next year<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Petition for Trading Platform Robinhood to List SHIB Now Has Over 545K Supporters<\/h2>\n

A petition<\/a> on Change.org to list the shiba inu coin on the popular trading platform Robinhood has garnered<\/span> 545,661 signatures at the time of writing.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are rumors that Robinhood is considering listing SHIB. However, the platform has not made an announcement regarding shiba inu and the company\u2019s chief operating officer said in November that the platform is in no hurry<\/a> to add another crypto.<\/span> \u201cOur strategy is a little bit different than a lot of other players out there who are just racing the list as many assets as possible right now,\u201d she stressed.<\/span><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, more major cryptocurrency exchanges are listing shiba inu. Bitstamp<\/a> listed SHIB Wednesday. Kraken<\/a> and Gemini<\/a> added support for SHIB in November. In addition, a crypto-friendly travel website Travala<\/a> began accepting shiba inu for payments this week.<\/span><\/p>\n
