Shiba inu crypto supporters have petitioned on Change.org for the trading platform to list SHIB. However, the company said it is in no hurry to list additional coins, stating: “We’re a highly regulated company in a highly regulated industry, and we think it’s important that we get a bit more clarity from regulators.”
Last week, Robinhood began rolling out its crypto wallets to customers. “By March, we will expand the program to 10,000 customers before rolling out to the rest of the Wenwallets waitlist,” the company said.
