As the crypto turmoil continues and the most popular crypto exchanges reveal their reserve holdings in order to calm down worried customers, more surprises are unveiled. According to the findings, Crypto.com holds as much as 19.85% of its reserve in the popular memecoin Shiba Inu (SHIB).
Moreover, SHIB only comes second to the leading cryptocurrency Bitcoin (BTC), which takes up 31.19% of Crypto.com’s reserves. If combined, SHIB and BTC cover the majority of Crypto.com’s stash – approximately 51%.
Crypto.com Holds A Whopping $570M In SHIB
Indeed, the numbers may be unanticipated for many crypto investors. However, Kris Marszalek, the CEO of Crypto.com, has a clear explanation. According to him, Crypto.com backs everything their customers buy 1:1, therefore, both memecoins SHIB and Dogecoin (DOGE) play a significant role in the company’s vault.
The canine memecoins were highly favored by customers in 2021 and the simplest way to prove this are their relatively high spots on the crypto charts by total market capitalization. At press time, the top dog memecoins SHIB and DOGE occupy the #14 and #8 positions, respectively.
