The community behind the meme-inspired cryptocurrency Floki Inu ($FLOKI) has created a petition in which it asks to be listed on the popular cryptocurrency exchange Kraken, which has earlier this month listed rival meme-inspired coin Shiba Inu ($SHIB).<\/p>\n
According to the petition created on Charge.org, which is yet to reach 5,000 signatures, the \u201cvolume FLOKI has gotten without any major exchange proves strong demand and interest in it \u2014 and a Kraken listing will mutually benefit FLOKI and the Kraken platform.\u201d<\/p>\n
The listing claims FLOKI is \u201cthe third biggest meme coin after DOGE and SHIB\u201d and points out that without being listed on any major centralized exchange, Floki Inu has over 180,000 token holders. The petition points out Floki Inu\u2019s \u201csuper aggressive\u201d marketing campaigns, which as CryptoGlobe reported have made headlines in Israel and the United Kingdom.<\/p>\n
In Israel, Floki Inu took over \u201c180 billboards & signs\u201d in Israel\u2019s \u201c20 most important cities\u201d so its ads would be seen \u201cover 47.6 million times.\u201d The ad campaign, the team added, is \u201cstrategically designed to create awareness about $FLOKI to Israel\u2019s savvy population.\u201d<\/p>\n
Floki Inu launched earlier a \u00a0campaign on London\u2019s public transport system\u00a0with the slogan \u201cMissed Doge? Get Floki\u201d in a bid to \u201clegitimize\u201d the cryptocurrency and increase the \u201cconfidence of the average consumer\u201d to buy it, according to the project\u2019s head of marketing, which went by Sabre.<\/p>\n
Notably, the Floki Inu community has also created petitions to get listed on other major centralized cryptocurrency exchanges, including Coinbase and Binance. Its petition to get listed on Coinbase has already gathered over 30,000 signatures, while the petition for a Binance listing is sitting near 25,000.<\/p>\n
Kraken, it\u2019s worth noting, listed Shiba Inu after asking investors to signal whether they would support the move on social media. Initially, the exchange did not list the cryptocurrency and simply said that a cryptoasset\u2019s community is \u201can important part\u201d of its considerations before listing a coin. Shortly after, Kraken listed SHIB.<\/p>\n
