Shiba Inu supporters fight to have it listed on Robinhood

There has been a similar push by the Shiba Inu community as they try to pressure Robinhood to list the meme-coin.

The community embarked on a petition to collect signatures in support of a push titled “Kindly request of Robinhood to list Shiba Inu coin.”

The petition has already surpassed its target of 300,000 signatures and it is now at more than 470,000 signatures.

Following the developments, the crypto community is waiting to see if Robinhood, which already lists Dogecoin (DOGE), will bow the pressure and list Shiba Inu (SHIB).

Dogecoin is a close competitor of Shiba Inu and has been leading the latter in the past though Shiba Inu recently overtook Dogecoin in terms of market capitalization. Sometime last month, Shiba Inu also temporarily overtook Bitcoin and Dogecoin in terms of social media popularity.
