Shiba Inu jumps 27% after getting listed on Rain, a top Middle East crypto exchange

Rain, a leading crypto exchange based in Bahrain Middle East, has listed Shiba Inu to expand its trading volume and adoption after two months of consideration.

Rain was the first crypto exchange platform to be fully licensed after the Central Bank of Bahrain’s approval. Back in March, Rain had asked the community on their official Twitter account if they should list the second-largest meme token.

Recently, the platform announced that it is supporting Shiba Inu. However, earlier this year Shiba Inu had been listed on other crypto exchange platforms like Robinhood trading app and Parex decentralized exchange.
