Specifically, Crypto.com claims to have included not only SHIB but also PEPE, FLOKI, and Dogwifhat (WIF). In total, Crypto.com Visa card customers can now choose from over 100 crypto.
The inclusion for the financing of the Crypto.com Visa card means for SHIB and for the other memecoins an increase in their adoption.
Crypto.com and the addition of Shiba Inu and memecoin to the Visa card: the price reaction
At the moment, the current news shared on X already two days ago, has not brought price increases for Shiba Inu (SHIB).
Indeed, at the time of writing, the price of SHIB is $0.00001802, in dump of -2.20% in the last 24 hours and -16% in the last seven days.
Its total market cap of 10.62 billion dollars places SHIB in the overall crypto ranking at the 12th position.
But looking at the memecoin category, there is not only SHIB in price dump in the last seven days. In fact, PEPE is also in a dump of -8.4%, FLOKI of -18%, and WIF of -21.6%.
In any case, the memecoins have risen in terms of market capitalization. At the time of writing, in the overall crypto ranking PEPE is in 23rd place with a market cap of 4.6 billion dollars, FLOKI in 52nd place with 1.6 billion dollars, and WIF in 49th place with 1.9 billion dollars.
The partnership with Eminem for the new commercial
Crypto.com became famous also for involving globally renowned artists as testimonials in its commercials, with the slogan “Fortune Favors The Brave”.
The last one to be involved last May 2024, is the famous American rapper Eminem, who describes with his voice a montage of a boxing training, using crypto jargon.
And indeed, in the background speech, Eminem uses industry terms like Proof-of-Work, to give an example.
Before Eminem, the crypto-wallet and crypto-exchange had instead involved Matt Damon in October 2021. Here too, Damon acted as a motivational influencer, although in this spot the “victories” in various competitions were compared with the “victories” of human evolution, of which cryptocurrencies are a part.
