Blockchain.com Co-Founder and CEO Peter Smith stated in an interview about cryptocurrencies that the consumer crypto business has seen rapid growth this year.
However, despite all this growth in the crypto world, the UK-based company with $1.5 billion (YTD) revenue cannot list new tokens like Shiba Inu right away. CEO,
We can’t go out tomorrow and add Shiba or put 100x leverage.
He stated that such a listing would not be rushed. Comparing this situation to other regulated platforms like Coinbase, Smith added that it takes more time for them to “list new assets or a new feature longer than some other companies.”
Crypto Exchanges Take A Divergent Attitude Towards SHIB
We see that cryptocurrency exchanges take different stances when it comes to the list of SHIB tokens.
For example, while Coinbase decided to list SHIB in September, Kraken is still undecided on this issue. The Robinhood platform is still on the run and a clear decision has not been made. Robinhood COO Christine Brown has been praising SHIB, but has not made any statement about whether the platform will list SHIB.
Having received tremendous community support over the past few months, SHIB remains the 11th largest altcoin on CoinGecko with a market cap of over $29.7 billion.
Trust is important
Blockchain.com CEO, who stated that the trust element is very important,
Our business is driven by our desire to be credible in the cryptocurrency space for the next 30, 40 or even 50 years.
Line Breaks in the Interview
Smith added that “projects are growing from a real use perspective.” This statement means that the platform can ignore meme listings for now.
