Shibcoin investors have a new way to trade the crypto.

Trading platform OKEx is the first to list SHIB, the first native crypto asset of the Shiba network.

It comes as the digital currency dropped by 40%, but then recovered as investors sold Bitcoin after Elon Musk’s decision to suspend Bitcoin payments for Tesla vehicles.

Deposits of SHIB opened over the weekend, and the token can now be traded against USDT – a stablecoin.

SHIB, also known as a “meme coin,” is emerging as a top 30 cryptocurrency by market capitalisation.

The founders put away 50% of the total SHIB supply in Uniswap.

The rest were burned in honor of Vitalik Buterin, one of the co-founders of Ethereum.

Welcoming Shib

SHIB is the first cryptocurrency token to be listed and incentivised on ShibaSwap — the Shiba Inu project’s own decentralized exchange.

“We are pleased to welcome Shiba Inu to the OKEx platform..”

“As an exchange, we are delighted to be able to offer a diverse portfolio of cryptocurrencies, including memetic tokens, to allow a comprehensive investment experience for our valued customers.”

“The Shiba Inu community has been gaining strong momentum from the weekend deposits, and we look forward to witnessing its robust development.”

“We are happy to be the first major exchange to offer SHIB to open the crypto gateway to these enthusiasts,” said OKEx CEO Jay Hao.

Wall Street enters 2026 optimistic as falling interest rates and strong earnings drive stock market expectations amid economic resilience.

Wall Street is entering 2026 with renewed confidence as falling interest rates and robust corporate earnings lift expectations for continued stock market gains. Analysts say an easier monetary policy is providing fresh momentum for equities after several strong years.

The US economy has continued to show resilience, with businesses maintaining healthy balance sheets and earnings growth holding up despite global uncertainty. Lower borrowing costs and supportive fiscal settings are expected to further boost investor sentiment.

However, market watchers remain cautious, warning that optimism could fade quickly if economic data disappoints or inflation pressures return.
