Shiba Inu and Chiliz jump 33% and 26% on Coinbase Pro listings

Published at: June 16, 2021

The token prices of Shiba Inu (SHIB) and Chiliz (CHZ) jumped 33% and 26%, respectively, on Wednesday, following the announcement of the pair’s listing on Coinbase Pro.

Inbound transfers for Shiba Inu and Chiliz were announced alongside Keep Network (KEEP) by Coinbase Pro on Tuesday. Trading is set to begin on Thursday, assuming liquidity conditions are met. The trading pairs will launch in three phases: post-only, limit-only and full trading.

Shiba Inu burst onto the scene in late April, seemingly as a bi-product of the attention brought on meme cryptocurrency Dogecoin (DOGE) by Tesla CEO Elon Musk. The token’s imagery features a meme version of the Shiba Inu dog breed, similar to Dogecoin. The token’s dollar valuation, while still well in the sub-cent range, increased by over 2,000,000% in the runup to its recent peak in early May, when it was listed for trading on Binance and other exchanges.

The SHIB valuation climbed from $0.000007002 to $0.000009331 in the hour or so following the Coinbase announcement and had retained most of its gains one day on, standing as the top gainer among the market capitalization top 100 on Wednesday.

Chiliz followed close behind after its coin price increased from $0.2773 to $0.3495 leading into Wednesday morning, following a sustained 26% surge. Chiliz is the token behind the Socios.com fan token platform that enables the purchase of branded tokens associated with major sports clubs and organizations. Chiliz has recently facilitated the launch of fan tokens in partnership with FC Barcelona, Manchester City and a host of major European football clubs.

The other token lined up for trading on Coinbase, Keep Network, experienced a brief 26% surge as its valuation climbed from $0.49 to $0.62 in the wake of the exchange’s announcement. By the time of publication, it had given up some of its gains on the way back to the $0.56 range.

Keep Network focuses on providing storage for private data on public blockchains. The Keep Network platform comprises off-chain containers for private data, which are only accessible via the Ethereum-based KEEP token. The project recently added compatibility for Bitcoin (BTC) users with tBTC — a fully backed ERC-20 version of Bitcoin.

No, Musk, don’t blame Bitcoin for dirty energy — The problem lies deeper
Elon Musk is definitely interested in digital currency, but it seems that he doesn’t want to understand it. At least, I worry that he doesn't have a deep enough understanding of Bitcoin (BTC) and decentralized systems in general. A decentralized system has to be secure, and proof-of-work (PoW) is the solution for Bitcoin to secure its digital asset. The more successful Bitcoin is, the more energy is required for PoW to secure the network. In other words, the reason that Bitcoin uses up so much more electricity than Dogecoin (DOGE), for example, is because BTC is much more secure than …

Cryptocurrency traders awoke to an altcoin bonanza as a handful of meme tokens, along with some of the more established projects, staged double-digit rallies while Bitcoin (BTC) price slowly recovers to the $57,000 level. The biggest event generating conversations across the crypto sector and social media is the rise of dog-themed tokens inspired by the recent mega rally from Dogecoin (DOGE). The more than 20,000% rally from DOGE has shocked value investors across the world and many Bitcoin maximalist and equities traders are scratching their heads in confusion, given that DOGE was originally created as a simple joke.

But cryptocurrency’s latest media darling may not be as wholesome as it seems.
