Shiba Inu (SHIB) is a meme coin that is sometimes pitched as a "Dogecoin DOGE/USD killer." The token is the fifteenth largest coin by market cap, according to CoinMarketCap data.

On May 10, 2021, SHIB was listed by Binance. On the same day, FTX founder and CEO Sam Bankman-Fried announced SHIB deposits and withdrawals were open.
SHIB launched on Coinbase Global Inc’s COIN platform later on Sep.16.
