Newegg Commerce, a major online retailer, may soon accept payments in the meme-inspired cryptocurrency Shiba Inu ($SHIB), at least according to its supporters who noted the company’s official Twitter profile is in talks with SHIB’s developers.
As first reported by Benzinga, Newegg’s official Twitter account tagged Shiba Inu’s official account on the microblogging platform as well as its project leader asking them for a direct message as they had a question to ask.
The tweet was quickly interpreted by the community as a hint the Nasdaq-listed retailer was looking to accept payments in the meme-inspired cryptocurrency, which saw its price surge this year over a retail trading frenzy that allowed one investor who bet $8,000 in the cryptocurrency to at one point have $5.7 billion in its wallet.
