The largest cryptocurrency exchange of Mexico, Bitso, has recently revealed that Shiba Inu (SHIB), an Ethereum-based cryptocurrency, will now be available on its platform for trading. However, the exchange already started teasing the Shiba Inu listing in December 2021. The announcement was made by Bitso on Twitter, welcoming Shiba Inu on its platform, and noted that the cryptocurrency is currently working and competing to make its place among the top ten cryptocurrencies by market capitalization.

A total of 16 cryptocurrencies are supported by Bitso now, which includes Chainlink (LINK), Compound (COMP), Axie Infinity (AXS), and many more. Although, it is worth noting that the original meme-based cryptocurrency, Dogecoin (DOGE), hasn’t been listed on the platform. In May 2021, after Bitso raised $250 million in its series C funding round, it became the first cryptocurrency unicorn and reached a valuation of $2.2 billion. The platform’s Series C funding involved investors like Tiger Globe, a venture capital firm, and the $48 billion hedge fund, Coatue Management.

Bitso Partnerships
Around November 2021, the organization initiated Bitso Shift, in which it formed a partnership with Circle, a crypto giant, to serve cross-border payments among Mexico and the U.S. Bitso has also been a long-term partner of Ripple (XRP), a blockchain organization based in San Francisco. And the most recent partnership of Bitso took place earlier this month, where it managed to gain a three-year partnership with Sao Paulo FC, a Brazilian professional soccer club.
