The launch will be implemented after the receipt of all required post-regulatory approvals, in compliance with the prevailing laws. Furthermore, a report also suggests that an Ethereum whale, with over $3.7 million in assets in its wallet, made a heavy investment in the meme-inspired cryptocurrency, Shiba Inu, soon after a popular business account on social media claimed Robinhood was set to list SHIB as early as February. The WhaleStats show that an Ethereum whale bought about 58.9 million SHIB worth around $1.9 million when the meme-inspired currency surged, due to the rumor that it would be listed on Robinhood.Meanwhile, on Thursday, data from Etherscan revealed that the stable coin issuer, Tether, has frozen three Ethereum addresses, which hold about $160 million worth of USDT. These accounts will now be unable to move funds. In total, Tether has blacklisted about 563 addresses on the Ethereum blockchain since 2017, in order to scrutinize suspicious accounts. This report put some negative pressure on ETH/USD, and the crypto started declining.
