Coinbase Postpones SHIB Trading

While SHIB was expected to launch on Coinbase on 17 June, technical difficulties postponed the token’s trading on the platform.  

As a result of the outstanding issues, Coinbase was forced to stop SHIB deposits. But the exchange continued to provide withdrawals for the currency. Coinbase is expected to update its timeline for the resumption of regular transactions on Shiba Inu. The company explained the current status of the problem in a tweet posted to its account:

We are experiencing technical issues that will temporarily delay the launch of SHIB on Coinbase Pro. At this time we are disabling deposits of SHIB; withdrawals are still available. We will provide an updated timeline for restoring deposits & enabling trading as soon as possible.

Shiba Inu May Receive a Boost from the Launch of ShibaSwap

The founders of Shiba Inu are working on a decentralized exchange called ShibaSwap.
