Shiba Inu Availability On The Rise Globally

Last week, Philippines based crypto exchange Coins.ph listed SHIB. The crypto exchange has been operating since 2014 and has a 10 million customer base. This is a big development considering that the exchange is regulated by the central bank of the Philippines. The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas recognized Coins.ph as a licensed virtual currency exchange, electronic money issuer, and remittance and transfer agent. The exchange claims that the licenses allow it to provide buying and selling of crypto assets. “This means we can provide simple, safe, and secure ways to make digital payments, as well as cryptocurrency buy and sell services.”

Recent data from WhaleStats shows that SHIB was among the tokens which were trending in recent times. Also, the Shiba Inu featured in the list of the most purchased tokens by the biggest Ethereum whales.
