Singapore-based cryptocurrency derivatives exchange Bybit has announced that the Shiba Inu (SHIB) is now available for spot trading.
Shiba Inu opens to spot trading on Bybit listing
Prior to that, the exchange added the SHIB1000/USDT derivative pair in October, allowing users to trade meme coins with up to 25x leverage while using the Tether stablecoin as collateral. Bybit first launched spot trading support for four cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP and EOS) in July. Traders from the USA, China, Singapore, Iran and some other countries are not allowed to use the service due to regulatory barriers. This month, the Ontario Securities Commission warned Bybit against offering derivatives in the largest Canadian province. The exchange is the fourth largest cryptocurrency exchange with open interest on Bitcoin futures. Thus, only Binance lags behind CME Group and FTX.
On the other hand, Shiba Inu was recently listed on the largest cryptocurrency exchange in Brazil. Still, the cryptocurrency continues its downtrend despite a series of new waves of listings. SHIB price is now trading at 60% off its all-time high.
