Shiba Inu continues to Increase Utility
Shiba Inu has been seeing increasing usage, particularly its acceptability as a payment channel. This growing list of Shiba adoption has caught the attention of top cryptocurrency payment processors like BitPay and Binance Pay. Both processors have been introducing services that enable companies to accept Shiba Inu payments.
Some businesses have opted to pay salaries to staff in SHIB tokens. Some prestigious charity institutions have also opened up to donations from Shiba Inu owners. Others include e-commerce businesses, real estate developers, merchants, etc., also accepting Shiba Inu as a form of payment.
The world of cryptocurrencies is generally on a wide adoption spree as the wider global population opts for the more secure, transparent, and faster mode of payment.
What other utilities might be added to Shiba Inu’s list remains unknown, but the future looks bright and positive for the cryptocurrency and others.
