SHIB would be listed on OKCoin Japan in the middle of February of next year.
OKCoin Japan had dropped a Tuesday hint on the possibility of listing SHIB.
OKCoin Japan, a major exchange in the country and a branch of the global digital asset business OK Group, has announced that it would be listing Shiba Inu (SHIB) three days after first hinting at doing so.
OK Group is a leader in blockchain technology development and service provision. OKCoin, OK Blockchain Research Institute, B-Labs, and other companies and products are all owned by the same corporation.
SHIB Community Excited
The platform made the announcement recently through a tweet from its main account and a press release. The release claims that SHIB would be listed on OKCoin Japan in the middle of February of next year. No official date has been announced, but the platform has vowed to keep the community informed as more information becomes available.
SHIB advocates in Japan have responded favorably to the news of the announcement. OKCoin Japan had dropped a Tuesday hint on the possibility of listing SHIB. After 148 days of petitioning, the platform granted the request of an anonymous member of the SHIB community.
OKx, a sibling exchange situated in Seychelles and controlled by the same parent business OK Group, recently introduced a flexible staking feature for SHIB and other cryptocurrencies, prompting OKCoin Japan to announce intentions to offer SHIB the following day.
OKCoin Japan’s latest statement highlights the increasing interest in SHIB from major worldwide exchanges. If the Japanese branch of OKCoin decides to list SHIB, it would join BitPoint Japan as the country’s premier crypto exchanges to provide trading in the asset. BitPoint Japan was the first major exchange in Japan to do so last month.
