Shib Just Gained More Recognition In The U.S.

Shiba Inu Lands on UEX.US

Shiba Inu ($SHIB) has been added to @uex_us, a U.S.-based crypto exchange that positions itself as a regulated, all-in-one platform for retail traders. The listing gives the token's large decentralized community a direct route onto an exchange built and incorporated in the United States.

UEX.US was founded in Wyoming in 2025 and describes itself as a next-generation crypto platform built around security, compliance, and ease of use. The platform provides users with integrated access to digital assets, including cryptocurrency trading, custodial wallet storage, interest-bearing accounts, and crypto-collateralized lending.

With the listing now live, users can trade $SHIB directly against $USDT. On-ramp options include PayPal payments, wire transfers, and credit card payments, lowering the barrier for retail participants who want immediate exposure without navigating complex wallet setups. UEX supports deposits and withdrawals via bank transfers, debit and credit cards, and PayPal, a breadth of fiat on-ramps that few crypto exchanges match and that makes the platform particularly accessible for newcomers.

Yield and Lending Round Out the Offering

Beyond spot trading, the exchange is offering 4.5% APY on $SHIB holdings, giving longer-term holders a way to put idle tokens to work. The platform also provides a lending service with a loan-to-value ratio of up to 90%. Users can borrow against their cryptocurrency without selling it, with loan-to-value ratios as high as 90%. That is a notably high LTV ceiling compared with the broader market, though it also carries correspondingly higher liquidation risk if prices move sharply.

$SHIB is a widely known meme coin backed by a strong community and an expanding ecosystem. The project has grown to encompass decentralized finance, NFTs, a Layer-2 blockchain called Shibarium, and ecosystem tokens like BONE and LEASH. Its listing on a U.S.-incorporated exchange adds another access point for American retail traders seeking regulated venues for meme coin exposure.

User assets on UEX.US are stored primarily in cold wallets protected by multi-factor security controls, and the platform has undergone independent security audits and reserve attestations, with the latest reports indicating 100% reserve backing of all customer liabilities.
