The application is keen on making blockchain and cryptocurrency mainstream, and recently announced the acceptance of cryptocurrencies like Shiba Inu as payment. 

The decentralized traveling agency accepts Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Tether (USDT), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), LiteCoin (LTC), Binance Coin (BNB), and the company’s native token – Xcellab Ecosystem – XcelDefi (XLD) in addition to Shiba Inu. 

Analysts predict Shiba Inu price recovery 

Analysts have evaluated the Shiba Inu price trend and identified moderate volatility. Analysts concluded that Shiba Inu price is protected from price manipulation and trading near resistance. The meme coin has found support around $0.00001013 and resistance at $0.00001079.
