Price Boost From Binance ‘Loans’

SHIB reached the milestone of $0.000095 for the first time since May of this year. After Binance disclosed that the meme currency was a recognized collateral asset for loans on the exchange, the price increased.

Holders will be able to deposit SHIB as collateral to get “Flexible Loans” on Binance as a result of this development. Additionally, the action is thought to give the coin more credibility than its meme roots and cause a jump in its value, reviving investor interest.

This development highlights the dynamic nature of the cryptocurrency market, where the intersection of social media trends, technological advancement, and institutional acceptance can drive meme coins like SHIB to achieve notable objectives and draw interest from both crypto supporters and the mainstream financial community.
