The new Robinhood announcement caused great disappointment to the Shiba Inu community, as they eagerly awaited SHIB listing on the platform.
Robinhood refused to introduce a new token on its platform. Company CEO Vlad Tenev is worried about adding new digital assets because they may turn out to be an unregistered security. To eliminate the risks, the site uses a protocol to evaluate coins, and SHIB apparently did not pass the test.
At the same time, Robinhood launched a beta test of cryptocurrency wallet. In addition, the project team plans to introduce a new cryptoproducts and debit card in the coming months.
