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.

Tesla’s brand value plummeted to $27.61 billion in 2025 amid Musk’s political shift, sparking investor concern.

Tesla’s brand value plummeted by $15.4 billion in 2025, falling to $27.61 billion from $66.2 billion in early 2023. Analysts say Elon Musk’s political focus and a slowdown in new models have distracted the company’s core business.

In the U.S., Tesla’s recommendation score sank to just 4 out of 10, down from 8.2 in 2023. Despite this, loyalty among existing owners remains high at 92 per cent, showing a strong but shrinking fan base.
