Shiba Inu ($SHIB), a meme-inspired cryptocurrency that saw its price explode earlier this year, has been added to the Avalanche Bridge. The bridge will allow users to transfer their SHIB onto the Avalanche blockchain. Wrapped ether can be locked in the ChainBridge contract so an equivalent token on Avalanche can be minted. Shiba was listed for a spot trading pair on one of the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchanges this week, ByBit.
Avalanche Bridge (AB) is adding new tokens that can be transferred between Avalanche and Ethereum.
First up, $SHIB incoming!
