2021 has emerged to become a milestone for meme-based coin Shiba Inu.

Founded in 2013, CoinJar is touted as one of Australia's longest running crypto exchanges. Six more tokens, Fetch.ai, Origin Protocol, Cartesi, Orchid, Quant Network, and Audius have been added to the platform along with SHIB, as CoinJar expands its crypto offerings for people to experiment with and explore.

“In retrospect, it was inevitable. SHIB is here. Starting today you can buy, sell, send and trade Shiba Inu using your CoinJar Wallet. With CoinJar Card you can even use SHIB to do some last-minute Christmas shopping,” the company said in a statement.
