SHIBA Inu coin is up on Coinbase on Tuesday, as is Bitcoin after Square CEO Jack Dorsey revealed the company is looking to get into crypto mining with that currency.
“Square is considering building a bitcoin mining system based on custom silicon and open source for individuals and businesses worldwide,” CEO Dorsey said in a tweet on Friday.
“If we do this, we’d follow our hardware wallet model: build in the open in collaboration with the community.”
Bitcoin’s price hit a six-month-high of $62,000 after the tweet, Business Insider reported.
Both Bitcoin and Shiba Inu remain up on Tuesday, according to Coinbase.

Tether aims to do this by pegging the price to a regular “fiat” currency, like US dollars, Euros or the Chinese yuan.
Tether claims to keep values steady by holding reserves in that currency in a bank.

PUSH FOR MEXICO TO FOLLOW EL SALVADOR
In early October, Grupo Elektra, a leading banking and retail company in Mexico, threw its support behind Bitcoin by introducing the Bitcoin Lightning Network as a payment method.
But Mexico’s central bank quickly shot down the plans, warning: “The country’s financial institutions are not authorized to carry out and offer to the public operations with virtual assets, such as Bitcoin, Ether, XRP.”

“But greater regulatory scrutiny on cryptos threatens to hamper the growth potential of the Shiba Inu.”

Since then, the crypto spaced has endured volatility.
