Despite regular and even daily SHIB burns, the price of the second largest canine cryptocurrency remains in the $0.000033 range. On October 28, the “Dogecoin killer” SHIB managed to hit a historic peak of $0.00008845 per token. At the moment, the price is 62.68 percent below that all-time high level.

Hopes for Robinhood listing
As reported by U.Today at the end of December, the popular Robinhood trading app announced that it plans to roll out the beta testing phase of its crypto wallets in January.
The Shiba Inu community has been requesting the platform to list SHIB for several months already. The petition started on Change.org for that purpose has already left behind the half a million threshold of signatures. The community hopes that when/if Robinhood adds SHIB to its trading list, the price of the coin would reach a new significant all-time high.
