The number of Shiba Inu holders has increased during the dip as whales see the price dip as an opportunity to increase their position in SHIB as the token has proven to be a utility cryptocurrency in the market for investors.

As SHIBArmy continues to fight for Shiba Inu-Robinhood listing, many other popular crypto exchanges have already listed the crypto token. Brazil's leading crypto exchange app Foxbit is the latest to announce that it's all set to add Shiba Inu to its list of new cryptocurrencies on its trading platform.
