SHIB suffers high volatility in 2022
With a majority of SHIB trading volume happening on Binance, the token has struggled with the widespread volatility that has impacted the general cryptocurrency market. According to our previous report, between January 1 and January 8, 2022, SHIB’s market capitalization plunged by $3.5 billion, from $18.68 billion to $15.16 billion. The token, which significantly gained from social media activity, also continues to record growth on various platforms, hitting over 2.5 million followers. Consequently, SHIB’s growth is attracting potential listing on various trading platforms. For instance, in 2021, SHIB supporters began pushing for the coin’s listing on the retail trading platform Robinhood. The fans launched an online petition pushing for the listing. The petition titled “Kindly request of Robinhood to list Shiba Inu coin!” had surpassed over 550,000 signatures by press time. Additionally, rumors on SHIB’s potential Robinhood listing have been reignited, contributing to the coin’s rally. Several online reports indicated that the listing would occur as early as February.
SHIB’s price

Shiba Inu’s price had recently plunged following the altcoin bloodbath led by Bitcoin, and the latest recovery points to bullish sentiments among investors.
