Shiba Inu price dips 2.8% as German investors face limited access options
Shiba Inu (SHIB)

Cryptocurrency.com.tr reports that investors in Germany still lack a practical way to buy Shiba Inu through standard brokerage accounts. The only European exchange-traded certificate for the token is listed in Stockholm and settles in Swedish kronor. A US fund eligible to hold SHIB currently holds other assets, while Japanese approval applies only to local customers.
Consequently, German buyers must purchase directly on a MiCA-licensed exchange and manage their own custody, a choice that impacts their tax framework. On Saturday, October 3, SHIB traded at $0.00000572, which is roughly €0.00000509. The token shed 2.8 percent over 24 hours, with a daily range between $0.00000553 and $0.00000589.
Market capitalisation stood at $3.37 billion, placing the asset at rank 35. There are 589.24 trillion tokens in circulation. The all-time high of $0.00008616 recorded on October 27, 2021, remains 93.4 percent away.
