SpecialK reacted to the post from the exchange, pointing out that the Bad Idea project parades a strong team with progressive initiatives for its growth.

According to the post, the team is working toward building a Layer-2 node for the BAD ecosystem on Shibarium, the Shiba Inu blockchain. The move is to set a validator for Badideaai.

On this note, BAD holders can delegate their tokens to earn rewards in the Shibarium’s official gas asset, BONE. 

Also, the user narrated the commitment of the BAD community to the ecosystem. Members of the community generated funds on three different occasions to facilitate BAD’s listing on exchanges.

Additionally, SpecialK mentioned some exchanges and DeFi applications (DApps) that support BAD on their platforms.

These include Crypto.com, OKX, IvendPay, NOWPayments, and others. Currently, Uphold has not responded to the user’s post with information about the BAD. However, its inquiry regarding the project could suggest a certain amount of interest and may result in a possible listing of BAD.

If Uphold lists BAD in the future, it will make the token available to over 1.7 million of its users. The exchange’s customer base has completed more than $6 billion worth of crypto trades from 2015 till date.

Uphold Attraction To Shiba Inu

The Uphold crypto exchange has always indicated an intense attraction to Shiba Inu and its related projects. Usually, Uphold’s official X account responds to most comments involving BONE, Shibarium’s gas token. 

The exchange responds with a GIF having an exclamation of “BONE” to posts that mention the coin.

Further, Uphold extended its support for BONE by positioning the coin in its list of Tier 3 tokens. Recently, the exchange’s subsidiary in Canada relisted Shiba Inu along with other prominent assets.

It had delisted the crypto tokens following some regulatory issues within the region.

However, the relisting came forth after resolving the challenges, bringing SHIB and other coins like ADA and DOGE to its platform.

Besides listing the token, Uphold owns a reasonable amount of BONE, worth over $778,000 at the time of writing on January 31. So there’s a possibility of also paying attention to  Shiba Inu’s partner, Bad Idea AI (BAD)
