Robinhood finally lists Shiba Inu causing SHIB price to surge

After a long wait, Shiba Inu (SHIB) has finally been listed on Robinhood. The meme-coin was listed today alongside other major cryptocurrencies that included Polygon (MATIC), Solana (SOL), and Compound (COMP)

The listing comes after a year of vigorous lobbying from the SHIB community which last year had collected signatures to appeal to Robinhood to list the dog-themed token.

Just last year, Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev had indicated that the US trading platform had no real plans of listing SHIB anytime soon and in a Q4 2021 earnings call, he said:

“We’re being deliberate. We want to avoid triggering SEC registration requirements for cryptocurrencies.”

Robinhood is however yet made an official announcement and it does not seem as if the added coins are yet for trading yet.

Robinhood already supports Dogecoin (DOGE), which is also a dog-themed meme coin.

Shiba Inu (SHIB) price surge following the news

Immediately the news on SHIB listing on Robinhood broke, the price of SHIB shot up by over 10% and it was up by 15.65% at the time of writing.

The price of Shiba Inu has long stagnated below $0.00003 since the drop between the end of November 2021 and the end of January 2022. The SHIB community expects the Robinhood listing to propel the meme coin’s price to at least above $0.00003 even as it awaits the launch of Shiba Inu’s metaverse.

Plans to integrate Bitcoin Lightning into Robinhood

At this year’s Bitcoin Conference 2022 in Miami, Robinhood, chief product officer, Aparna Chennapragada, revealed Robinhood’s plan of integrating the Bitcoin Lightning Network into its platform to enable faster transactions.

The Lightning Network is a layer-2 network built on Bitcoin that allows speedier transactions at a much lower cost.

In a recent post, Robinhood said:

 “Enabling send and receive functionality is just the first step in an exciting journey for Robinhood Crypto. We’re building to enable customers to do more with their wallets and reduce cost wherever we can when they interact with the crypto ecosystem.”

Why is MinePlex price rising?

Before we delve into the reasons behind the price hike, let’s first explain what MinePlex is for the sake of those coming across the term for the first time.

In a nutshell, MinePlex is a mobile crypto bank that enables users to use fiat or cryptocurrencies for transfers, payments, and banking operations. It has two native tokens namely PLEX and MINE.

The PLEX token acts as a payment instrument and as an asset within the ecosystem and it has a mathematical algorithm that allows it to have a predictable price increase. The MINE token, on the other hand, is a non-volatile token with a fixed and it gives value access to the system’s services.   

MinePlex has four main components in its ecosystem: an online store MinePlex.Marketplace, a payment system Mineplex.Money, a new digital banking app Mineplex.Finance, and a business development platform MinePlex.Payment.

Now, onto the reason behind the bullish trend of the PLEX price.

New digital banking app, MinePlex.Finance, launch

One of the main factors that have resulted in the current price hike is the recent launch of a new digital banking app, MinePlex which set the coin price skyrocketing.

According to a press release, the new app will bridge main fiat currencies with PLEX tokens:

“MinePlex.Finance is independent from the MinePlex platform, although it requires the use of the project’s own PLEX tokens in order to utilize it. It comes as an advanced solution that can be used as a digital account, a payment app, or a mobile wallet for PLEX tokens and the main fiat.”

Highlights April 11: Market bearish, KNC crashes top 100

The crypto market as a whole was bearish with few coins in the green at the time of writing. The majority of top 10 cryptos registered losses over the past 24 hours.

Top cryptos

Bitcoin was priced at below $43,000 at time of writing. Other cryptos were also lower, including Ethereum, down around 1%, and Cardano and XRP, registering losses of 2% and 3%, respectively. 

Bitcoin dropped below $42,000 for the first time since March 23. The flagship crypto is sliding back further into the range in which it has traded so far in 2022. According to Bloomberg, this is due to mounting concerns about rising interest rates. 

In Asian hours today, it had dropped to $41,918. It has been retreating over the past week. 

Since the Fed announced tightening monetary policy, most major cryptos have seen their value decline. Surprisingly, last week’s Bitcoin 2022 conference in Miami did not have a positive effect on Bitcoin’s price.

Top movers

The top 100 was equally bearish. Two exceptions to the rule were Zilliqa (+4%) and Stepn (+6%). KNC, the token of Kyber Network, crashed into the top 100 today with gains of 15% in the last 24 hours. 

It expanded to ten different blockchains, integrated with Uniswap v3 and took part in Avalanche’s new developer incentive. This led to a 50% price increase of Kyber Network’s KNC token yesterday.
