Rakuten Wallet Lists Shiba Inu for Trading in Japanese Yen

Rakuten Wallet, a leading online financial platform in Japan, has announced the addition of Shiba Inu (SHIB) to its list of tradable assets. Starting April 15, users will be able to buy and sell SHIB directly in Japanese yen through Rakuten's platform.

This move marks an important milestone for SHIB, as it gains access to a broader financial environment beyond standalone exchanges. Rakuten Wallet operates under the Rakuten Group, a large Japanese firm with operations across online commerce, banking, and payment services.

The inclusion of SHIB in Rakuten's ecosystem is part of a larger effort to build out its crypto services in response to growing demand in Japan. The platform has also added XRP, Dogecoin, Stellar, and Toncoin to its list of tradable assets.
