The Shiba Inu crypto asset known as the DOGE Killer briefly skyrocketed more than 20% after brokerage app Robinhood stated that it had listed the popular meme token, along with three other crypto assets. The community's haste in recent months has been seen to pay off.
Dog-themed crypto token Shiba Inu has surged 21% to a trading level of $0.000028 in the past 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketcap.
Robinhood also listed three other crypto assets including decentralized peer-to-peer lending platform token COMP which surged nearly 7%, Solana surged more than 5% and Matic jumped more than 3%.
With this Robinhood has a choice of nine crypto assets including Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Dogecoin, Ethereum, Ethereum Classic and Litecoin.
Prior to this, the Shiba Inu community had been pressing for a listing of these tokens in Robinhood. A petition from Change.org to get a SHIB on Robinhood received nearly 560,000 signatures. The token jumped by more than 40,000,000% in 2021, when it has lost 32.7% on the year so far.
Steve Quirk, chief brokerage officer at Robinhood in a recent note stated, “As a company that puts safety first, we have a rigorous framework in place to help us value assets for listing, and we remain committed to providing a secure crypto platform.”
Bitcoin is 2.06% lower so far than 24 hours ago at around $40,035, while ethereum is down 0.1% to around $3,027.
