Binance initially listed Shiba Inu in May 2021, making history as one of the first major crypto exchanges to embrace the meme cryptocurrency. Binance.US, the company's U.S.-based subsidiary, launched $SHIB trading in September last year. In February 2022, Binance Custody, the custodial arm of the cryptocurrency giant, added support for Shiba Inu as well as some other crypto assets.

To encourage $SHIB trading on its platform, top cryptocurrency exchange Binance announced a giveaway of over $100,000 in $SHIB for new users, allowing them to earn free Shiba Inu ($SHIB) tokens in March.

Shiba Inu has seen numerous listings since 2021, launching on several major exchanges such as Gemini, Kraken and Coinbase. In April, brokerage app Robinhood listed Shiba Inu, to the delight of the Shiba Inu community that had worked for it to be listed. A change.org petition in favor of the listing had amassed nearly 600,000 signatures.
