Europe’s largest crypto exchange, Bitstamp, lists Shiba Inu (SHIB)

After a long time lobbing, the Shiba Inu token has now been listed on Bitstamp, which is the largest cryptocurrency exchange in Europe.

The listing comes after Bitstamp promised the SHIB community that it was going to list the dog-themed token in 2022. Although it has taken about six months, SHIB traders or Bitstamp users who wished to trade the dog-themed coin can now do so comfortably after the crypto exchange announced the listing.

Bitstamp announced the listing of Shiba Inu on its blog page in an article titled “You asked, we listened! Here’s SHIBA INU (SHIB).”

In the article, Bitstamp says:

“SHIBA INU is one such project which started out as utterly light-hearted, boasting a pretty picture of a dog, but now has an incredibly large and vibrant community behind it. For reasons known to them, people have been flocking to this dog-themed token and started throwing millions of dollars at it. As its popularity grew, so did the requests from our Bitstamp community to have the token listed on our exchange. So, you, too, can now become a proud owner of SHIBA INU and a representative of the ShibArmy.”

Trading and transferring Shiba Inu tokens on Bitstamp

Shiba Inu transfers were allowed from Monday, June 6, 2022. Bitstamp users will also be able to place and cancel limit Shiba Inu limit orders though they are not matched; meaning no limit orders will be completed during this period.

The limit orders will, however, start being matched from today (Tuesday, June 2022 at 11:00 AM UTC) and the orders shall start being completed from then.

Full trading shall start once the order books get sufficient liquidity. Once the liquidity is attained, Bitstamp shall enable all order types and also allow for card purchases while also adding new trading pairs.

Currently, the only available Shiba Inu pairs on Bitstamp are SHIB/EUR and SHIB/USD.
