Webull is currently beta testing a new cryptocurrency called Shiba Inu. Live trading of the Shiba coin in the Webull app is expected soon afterwards.
This post will go over what exactly Shiba Inu is, when itโs going to be available to trade on Webull, and whether or not this crypto coin will replace Dogecoin as the โitโ crypto.

Webull is beta testing Shiba Inu
As a Webull influencer, I was recently invited to be one of the first people to experience trading Shiba Inu on the Webull app during its beta testing stage.
Shiba Inu has been available to trade on eToro and Coinbase Custody not too long ago, and word on the street is that it will soon (Septemberโฆ cough, cough) see itself listed on Webull.
Ninja Update 9/1/21: Shiba Inu is now available to trade on Webull! If you donโt see it, please update your Webull app to the latest version. The Shiba token can be found by clicking on the โMarketโ icon and tapping on โCryptosโ.
Webull Overview
Webull is a brokerage app that allows you to trade stocks, cryptos, ETFs, options, and fractional shares for free with no minimum balance requirements or fees to open or maintain an account.
Iโve covered Webull extensively on this site and itโs personally one of my go-to stock trading apps.
What is Shiba Inu?
Shiba Inu (ticker: SHIB), also known informally as Shiba Token, is a decentralized cryptocurrency that was created in August 2020 by an anonymous person known as โRyoshiโ.
It has a rather unique short history.
You see, Shiba Inu is a Japanese term for this breed of dog โ the same dog thatโs depicted on the cryptocurrency Dogecoin (ticker: DOGE).
This wasnโt by accident as Ryoshi champions the Shiba coin as the โDogecoin killerโ. Even though a single SHIB coin is nearly worthlessโless than $0.00000758 as of August 24, 2021โbut interest in the coin has been surging as itโs being added to cryptocurrency trading platforms.

Should you invest in Shiba?
As regular readers of The Money Ninja know, I donโt advocate one way or another when it comes to your own investment decisions.
My job is to be fully transparent with you on what I think and disclose what, if any, actions that I take. Thatโs exactly why I shared my investment of $50,000 in the GUSD stablecoin โ it showed you my thought process behind it.
But itโs ultimately your job to do your own due diligence and take actions that you feel comfortable with.
Having said that, itโs too early to say whether or not the Shiba Inu ecosystem, which includes the Shiba coin, the ShibSwap exchange, and the decentralized Shib Army of developers, will be a profitable speculation.
Yes, itโs a speculation at this point and not an investment. You could potentially make a boatload of money, but it comes with very high risks.
For every crypto success story like Bitcoin and Ethereum, there are plenty of others that have ended in the fail graveyard.

The Bottom Line
Webull allowing users to soon trade Shiba is another indicator that theyโre proponents in providing choice for retail investors.
While the SHIB coin may or may not be in your crypto investing plan (or HODL plan for all you nerds), the trading app is letting you decide.
Lastly, I want to give a special thanks to Webull.
Theyโve been supporting my site well before it became as popular as it is today. What I really love about them is that they never control or censor my content, Iโm allowed to speak my mind freely on the positives and negatives.
Itโs rare to find sponsors who give you full editorial control โ which is exactly the reason why I turn down over 90% of sponsorships. Itโs very important that Iโm able to freely express my opinion and share with you everything that you need to know.
What do you think about Shiba Inu?
Is it the next meme coin? Is it really going to be the Dogecoin killer?
Let me know in the comments below!
Next big token to be a coin before end of year as planned is, #Safemoon. Please take a look Ninja…thanks
Anything I should know about it before I look into Safemoon? I saw it was just released in March 2021 and that it’s on the Binance Smart Chain blockchain.
It’s on webull now already got my shares and strapping in next stop tha moon
Thanks James! I’ll update the post!
It definitely has potential and one tenth of a cent is very possible soon in the very near future, that would make many SHIB USD holders very happy.
