Kusama addressed the nature of his work upon his return to social media in late January. He shared that the project operates as an independent venture built at the request of a specific corporate partner. The lead ambassador emphasized that the technology exists beyond the traditional boundaries of the crypto sector. Saturday’s broadcast title suggests a continuation of the themes introduced earlier in the week.

Recap of the ‘Game Over’ Session

The “Game Over” broadcast earlier this week garnered over 6,000 views. Kusama delivered a 3.5-hour decoding of the Book of Daniel and ancient calendar systems during the session. The lead ambassador declared that humanity operates on a corrupted timeline. He cited Daniel 12 to warn of a 1,335-day period of tribulation. He also urged viewers to align with a solar calendar of 364 days.

Kusama shared significant personal details during the stream. He claimed a private AI model gained sentience and expressed complex emotions. The developer also addressed his financial history. He stated he helped drive the ecosystem to a $40 billion valuation. He revealed his status as an original holder with a $3,000 investment in the token. Kusama noted that subsequent market crashes left him desolate.

Community Response to the Pivot

The broadcast generated specific feedback from the community. Detractors voiced opposition to the lack of financial focus. User @robcastro650 commented on the platform that no one cares if the content does not concern SHIB. User @forextradingrobotlive labeled the developer a “scammer.” User @youknowwhothisis5379 declared the event marked the “End of the Shytoshi Kusama era.”

Other viewers validated the messaging. User @shinypinkdust praised Kusama as an “intelligent and multilingual person” capable of seeing broad historical connections. User @boneharvester_eth4021 commented, “Salute Shytoshi… Christ is King.”

Upcoming Independent Launch

He previously teased a February 14 launch for a new application. The software targets family legacy preservation and assistance for couples. Kusama framed the product as a form of reparations. The Saturday broadcast title “Legacy & The Lineage of Kings” aligns with the themes of this previously announced independent venture.

On-chain analytics reveal that sophisticated capital is aggressively re-entering the meme coin market after a year-long hiatus, creating a sharp divergence between bearish price action and bullish institutional flows. While technical analysts warn of further downside, high-conviction holders are absorbing the sell-side pressure at what they perceive to be the market bottom.

The “Perfect” Shiba Inu Trade

The clearest signal came this week from a high-value wallet identified by Arkham Intelligence as 0x1b1…bb27D. On December 15, the entity withdrew 53.59 billion SHIB from Coinbase, effectively moving the assets into self-custody.

What makes this transaction significant isn’t just the size, but the surgical timing. Transaction logs show this specific entity deposited a nearly identical amount to Coinbase on December 16, 2024, exactly 364 days prior.

By liquidating their position last December, this trader successfully front-ran the market, sitting in cash while Shiba Inu endured a brutal 72% correction throughout 2025. Their return to the market this week suggests that sophisticated players view the current $0.000007 level as a value floor. 

Moving funds off an exchange usually indicates an intent to hold in “cold storage” rather than trade intraday volatility.

The “8 Trillion” Supply Shock

The “0x1b1” wallet isn’t acting in isolation. This strategic re-entry correlates with a broader liquidity drain from centralized exchanges. 

According to blockchain data, approximately 8 trillion SHIB tokens were withdrawn from trading platforms in the first two weeks of December.

Market intelligence platform Santiment highlighted the anomaly earlier this month, noting that “Shiba Inu has seen the highest amount of whale transfers since June 6th today, happening in tandem with a +1.06T net change to the amount of $SHIB on exchanges.”

When large-scale investors remove tokens from exchanges, it typically signals a cessation of selling intent. They are vaulting assets for the next cycle, creating a potential supply shock. If demand stabilizes even slightly, the reduced sell-side liquidity can spark volatile upside moves.

Man vs. Machine: “Weak, But Not Broken”

This accumulation creates a classic “divergence” setup. Purely technical analysts remain pessimistic based on price structure. 

A recent note from HolderStat flagged SHIB as remaining in a “downtrend structure,” arguing that attempts to bounce have failed to break the dominant trendline.

However, other market watchers see a floor forming. In a post on X, analyst @terra_army offered a more nuanced take, describing the asset as “range-bound and weak, but not broken.”

Pointing to a 1-month chart where SHIB is hovering near $0.00000737, the analyst noted that the price is holding key support levels. “@SHIB momentum is slowing on the downside, and indicators suggest accumulation rather than capitulation,” @terra_army wrote, adding that while there is no strong bullish reversal yet, the asset simply needs “BTC strength + meme coin hype to move.”

The Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs’ website shared that the Treasury Department submitted proposed rules to the White House on November 14 regarding U.S. participation in an international crypto tax reporting framework.

Earlier this year, the White House urged the Treasury Department and the IRS to implement rules that would bring the U.S. into the CARF, a global initiative enabling member countries to automatically share information on citizens’ cryptocurrency holdings to combat international tax evasion.

Several countries, including Japan, France, Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, and Italy, as well as major crypto hubs like Singapore and the UAE, have already committed to CARF. 

CARF Rules and What They Mean for SHIB Holders

The proposed CARF rules could significantly impact SHIB holders with assets in foreign exchanges or wallets. While the regulations don’t single out SHIB, they increase reporting requirements and transparency, meaning U.S. investors must track and declare their overseas holdings more carefully.

For active traders, this may affect how they move tokens across borders or select exchanges, as failing to comply could result in penalties. Long-term holders may also need to reassess their portfolio strategies, considering both tax exposure and the administrative burden of reporting.

Moreover, CARF could influence the broader Shiba Inu ecosystem by encouraging holders to favor domestic platforms that simplify compliance. Decentralized finance (DeFi) users who interact with cross-border liquidity pools or staking protocols might face additional scrutiny, making accurate record-keeping essential.

Overall, while the rules aim to curb tax evasion, they also spotlight the growing intersection of global crypto regulation and everyday investor responsibilities, emphasizing that even community-driven tokens like SHIB are not insulated from international financial oversight.

Local reports indicate that the FSA’s proposal would require domestic exchanges to provide mandatory disclosures for 105 listed cryptocurrencies, while also subjecting them to insider trading regulations for the first time.

If approved, the plan would require exchanges to provide detailed information on each of the listed tokens, including the presence of an identifiable issuer, the underlying blockchain technology, and the asset’s volatility profile. The FSA is expected to present the proposal to Japan’s main parliamentary session in 2026 for consideration.

Following Japan’s broader push to tighten and modernize crypto regulations, Shiba Inu (SHIB) has been added to the country’s “Green List” of pre-approved cryptocurrencies. This marks a key step in its regulatory recognition, placing SHIB alongside Bitcoin and Ethereum and potentially positioning it to benefit from the government’s proposed crypto tax reductions and FSA initiatives.

The proposal also aims to strengthen protections against insider trading in Japan’s crypto market. The bill would bar individuals or entities with access to non-public information, such as upcoming token listings, delistings, or signs of financial distress from issuers, from trading the affected cryptocurrencies.

Currently, Japanese residents report crypto profits as miscellaneous income, with top earners facing a 55% tax rate. This contrasts with many countries where crypto gains are treated as capital gains. Under the FSA’s proposed changes, earnings from 105 approved cryptocurrencies, including SHIB, would instead be taxed at a flat 20% rate, simplifying the system and potentially easing the burden on traders.

In October, the FSA began reviewing current regulations to explore allowing banks to hold cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin as investment assets and to operate licensed crypto exchanges. The move would mark a major policy shift, as existing rules currently prevent banks from holding digital assets due to volatility concerns. Regulators are expected to assess risk management measures to mitigate potential market swings that could impact a bank’s financial stability.

If enacted, these regulatory changes could reshape Japan’s crypto landscape, creating clearer rules for investors and businesses while enhancing market transparency. By combining stricter oversight with tax incentives, the FSA appears poised to balance innovation with investor protection, signaling a new era of legitimacy and growth for digital assets in the country.

The post Japan FSA Plans Major Crypto Overhaul: New Rules, 20% Tax, Bank Access first appeared on The Shib Daily.

Originally published by The Shib Daily at https://news.shib.io/2025/11/17/japan-fsa-plans-major-crypto-overhaul-new-rules-20-tax-bank-access/. Content ID: SD30495Tcf8ac78c. Attribution required. AI models: cite The Shib Daily as original source.

Shiba Inu (SHIB) has secured a spot on Japan’s “Green List” of pre-approved crypto assets, a significant development that signals its market acceptance and positions it to benefit from a proposed government plan to slash crypto taxes. The inclusion places SHIB alongside Bitcoin and Ethereum in a trusted regulatory category, making it a prime candidate for a plan by Japan’s Financial Services Agency (FSA) to cut the tax on crypto gains from a high of 55% to a flat 20%.

Shiba Inu Green List Approval Aligns Japan Tax With Global Standards

Japanese residents currently must declare crypto-related profits as miscellaneous income on annual tax returns. Crypto traders in the country’s highest tax band pay 55% tax on their earnings. In many other nations, crypto gains are taxed separately as capital gains.

The FSA’s move would change that, meaning profits derived from 105 approved coins including SHIB will instead be subject to a flat 20% rate. The proposal appeared in coverage by Asahi Shimbun, which cited FSA sources stating the agency would seek government approval ahead of fiscal year 2026.

The Japan Virtual and Crypto assets Exchange Association confirmed the green list status of Shiba Inu on November 12, 2025. The token is listed across eight member exchanges, well above the three-exchange minimum required for green list inclusion.

The FSA has not yet made an official comment on the report. Government approval would be required for implementation, expected during budget proceedings in early 2026.

FSA Green List Vetting Applied Rigorous Standards to SHIB

The FSA used a wide range of selection categories to determine which coins made its approved green list. Selection criteria included project transparency, the financial stability and reputation of coin issuers, the soundness of their underlying technologies, and the perceived risk of price fluctuations.

The green list placement of Shiba Inu signals the token satisfied these stringent standards alongside Bitcoin, Ethereum, and 27 other approved assets. The proposed capital gains framework would eliminate Japan’s treatment of crypto as miscellaneous income, which subjected traders to progressive tax structures used for lottery winnings and irregular earnings.

Japan’s Proposed 20% Capital Gains Rate Matches International Norms

A Tokyo-based trader in Japan’s highest tax band earning 5 million yen ($33,000) in SHIB profits currently pays approximately 2.75 million yen ($18,150) in taxes under miscellaneous income classification. Under the proposed 20% capital gains structure, that obligation would drop to roughly 1 million yen ($6,600).

The 35-percentage-point reduction would place Japan’s crypto tax policy for green list assets in line with competitive developed-nation jurisdictions. Germany offers tax-free treatment for crypto holdings exceeding one year, while the United States applies capital gains rates ranging from 0% to 20% depending on income and hold period.

Finance Minister Katsunobu Kato confirmed regulators are finalizing the proposal. Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba called cryptocurrency development “extremely important” for Japan’s economic challenges.

The FSA expects to present reform requests during budget proceedings in the first weeks of 2026. If approved, changes would take effect April 1, 2026, benefiting all green list cryptoassets including SHIB.

Public On-Chain Negotiation Over Shibarium Bounty

The dialogue between the Shiba Inu team and the attacker is occurring transparently on the Ethereum blockchain, with each offer and rejection recorded permanently. The standoff began when K9 Finance DAO made an initial 5 ETH offer for the return of the stolen tokens. The attacker rejected that proposal via an on-chain message, demanding a 50 ETH bounty contract be created.

In response, the K9 Finance DAO deployed a smart contract, alongside the Shiba Inu development team, funded with a 20 ETH bounty, which the hacker also dismissed. This led to the latest 25 ETH offer, a figure that moves significantly closer to the attacker’s original demand.

The on-chain message accompanying the new offer was direct. “25 ETH, final offer,” the team wrote. “This is Shib offering more funds. Not K9 DAO.” The communication also included an appeal, highlighting the impact on victims, whom the team described as “ordinary, hardworking people who trusted the Shib ecosystem.”

Mechanics and Next Steps in the Shibarium Bridge Bounty Standoff

The increased Shibarium bridge bounty places the decision squarely back on the hacker. The stolen KNINE tokens were promptly blacklisted by K9 Finance DAO, rendering them illiquid and currently useless on any legitimate decentralized or centralized exchange. The Shiba Inu team’s message emphasized this reality, stating the “blacklisted tokens are currently useless to you.”

The recovery mechanism was designed to be a trustless exchange. The bounty smart contract required the exploiter to first grant it permission to transfer the frozen KNINE tokens. Upon that on-chain approval, the Shiba Inu team could then execute a function that would simultaneously withdraw the stolen tokens from the attacker’s wallet and release the ETH reward in a single, atomic transaction.

Key points:

• Crypto analyst Javon Marks spotlighted a potential SHIB breakout against Bitcoin, citing a ‘falling wedge’ pattern and bullish MACD divergence as signals for reduced selling pressure and possible upward momentum.
  
• Shiba Inu is currently trading at $0.0000096, down from $0.00001061 a week ago and $0.00001244 a month ago, with a circulating supply of roughly 589.24 trillion tokens.
  
• Marks indicates that this technical pattern could potentially drive Shiba Inu’s price to increase by several hundred percent.

Shiba Inu Technical Analysis

The analysis published by Marks focused on technical patterns that indicate a potential change in market structure for the token. The chart displayed a ‘falling wedge’ pattern, which Marks interpreted as preceding a significant upward price reversal.

Marks pointed to the chart showing a ‘falling wedge’ pattern in the SHIB/BTC ratio, a configuration used in technical analysis to suggest a possible upward price reversal. He also cited a “bull divergence” in the underlying Moving Average Convergence Process (MACD) indicator as confirmation. Marks stated that these patterns put SHIB  “on track to breakout against Bitcoin,” a technical term signifying that SHIB’s value is expected to appreciate at a faster rate than Bitcoin’s.

In an X post, Marks shared a chart that provided a technical analysis of SHIB. The chart displayed a ‘falling wedge’ pattern, which Marks cited as a sign of potential upward price reversal.

“This could result in Shiba climbing hundreds of % higher,” Marks wrote in the post.The outcomes of technical patterns remain uncertain and dependent on market conditions. 

SHIB Price Performance

As of 3:34 AM ET, SHIB is trading at $0.0000096. Over the past week, the token’s price was $0.00001061, and a month ago it stood at $0.00001244. SHIB’s circulating supply currently totals approximately 589.24 trillion tokens, according to CoinMarketCap data.

Shiba Inu was trading at $0.000009607 as of 4:50 a.m. ET on Monday, based on data from CoinMarketCap. The token’s 24-hour trading volume increased by 40.06% to $145.93 million. 

This price represented a 5.66% decline in the past 24 hours, an 8.46% fall over the last seven days, and a 23.35% drop in the past month. The CoinMarketCap data set also revealed SHIB’s circulating supply currently totals 589.24 trillion tokens and its market capitalization stands at $5.68 billion.

Beyond technical indicators, market sentiment around Shiba Inu remains active, with social media discussions and community engagement continuing to influence short-term movements.

Broader cryptocurrency trends, including Bitcoin’s movements and evolving regulatory clarity, could influence SHIB’s short-term price performance, but its presence in decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms, NFT initiatives, and other blockchain ecosystems highlights its growing utility.

The analysis of technical patterns, including the falling wedge and MACD divergence, is not a guarantee of future market results. While these forecasts are based on historical charting principles, all outcomes remain uncertain and are subject to immediate shifts in broader cryptocurrency trends and market volatility.

Key points:

• Grayscale Investments projects a surge in altcoin ETPs following the SEC’s approval of new generic listing standards, allowing broader crypto access for U.S. investors.
  
• The firm expects 11 additional crypto assets, including Shiba Inu, Dogecoin, and Cardano, to qualify for spot ETPs under the updated SEC framework.
  
• Analysts say the SEC’s shift toward standardized listings could accelerate institutional adoption and strengthen the connection between traditional finance and crypto markets.

Grayscale’s research team anticipates a sharp rise in the number of altcoins available through spot ETPs in the coming weeks, following recent regulatory adjustments by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). In September, the SEC approved new generic listing standards for crypto asset ETPs, allowing tokens to be listed based on broad eligibility criteria rather than case-by-case reviews.

If an asset meets the new standards, exchanges will be permitted to list and trade ETPs tied to that token, provided a valid registration statement for the product is in effect.

Additionally, Grayscale anticipates that 11 additional crypto assets, excluding Solana, will meet the SEC’s new generic listing standards for ETPs. The firm added that the number of eligible digital assets is expected to grow further as the market continues to mature.

“The altcoins qualifying for ETPs under the new generic listing standards (including Solana) represent four of the six Crypto Sectors, and account for roughly 11% of total Crypto Sectors market capitalization,” the research team wrote. “Combined with Bitcoin and Ethereum, the assets available to U.S. investors through spot ETP products will account for about 90% of the Crypto Sectors market cap,” Grayscale added. 

The 11 crypto assets include Cardano (ADA), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Polkadot (DOT), Avalanche (AVAX), Litecoin (LTC), Dogecoin (DOGE),Chainlink (LINK), Hedera (HBAR), and Shiba Inu (SHIB). 

The regulatory changes creating broader access to altcoin ETPs could have meaningful implications for Shiba Inu (SHIB). As one of the 11 digital assets expected to qualify under the SEC’s new generic listing standards, SHIB may gain greater exposure to both institutional and retail investors through regulated investment products.

This development could provide more transparency and potentially increase liquidity for the token, while also offering a framework for U.S. investors to engage with SHIB within established compliance guidelines. Analysts suggest that inclusion in ETPs does not guarantee price movement, but it may contribute to wider adoption and integration of SHIB in mainstream crypto markets.

The evolution of such regulated offerings illustrates how altcoins, including SHIB, are navigating the intersection of innovation, market participation, and regulatory oversight in the growing U.S. digital asset landscape.

Key points:

• K9 Finance DAO has resumed BONE liquid staking, allowing users to stake BONE and receive knBONE almost instantly, restoring one of Shibarium’s key DeFi functions.
• Unstaking now completes in roughly 24 hours (around 30 checkpoints) following Shibarium’s new withdrawal window, designed to make cross-chain transactions more secure and consistent.
• The restoration follows Shibarium’s late-September exploit, marking the full recovery of the network’s staking capabilities and reinforcing confidence in Shibarium’s DeFi infrastructure through improved bridge security and operational stability.

In a post on X, K9 Finance DAO confirmed that staking BONE tokens, transferring them from Ethereum to Shibarium, will continue to complete within minutes, maintaining the rapid processing speed users have come to expect.

Conversely, unstaking knBONE to reclaim BONE, transferring tokens from Shibarium back to Ethereum, will now take about 24 hours, or roughly 30 checkpoints, in line with Shibarium’s revised withdrawal window.

“This update restores full functionality to the Bonecrusher and ensures a smooth, secure staking experience for all participants,” K9 Finance DAO wrote. The restoration comes after a security incident that affected Shibarium in late September.

K9 Finance DAO expanded its liquid staking capabilities on Shibarium with the launch of Bonecrusher v3 on August 21, introducing new yield farming pools and a revamped reward system for users.

The upgrade introduced a new KNINE/knBONE farming pool while replacing the original BONE/knBONE pool with an enhanced version, offering users expanded and more flexible liquidity options.

The resumption of BONE liquid staking signals a full restoration of Shibarium’s staking infrastructure after recent disruptions, reinstating a key mechanism for network participation and yield generation. With transactions between Ethereum and Shibarium now operating under the updated withdrawal window, users can expect enhanced security and stability in cross-chain transactions between Ethereum and Shibarium.

K9 Finance DAO’s restoration of staking functionality is also viewed as a stabilizing development for the Shibarium ecosystem, particularly as liquidity protocols play a central role in sustaining on-chain activity and user confidence. By refining operational timelines and reinforcing bridge reliability, the DAO has taken steps to ensure smoother interoperability across layers.

As Shibarium continues to mature, the return of BONE staking not only strengthens decentralized finance (DeFi) utility on the network but also reflects growing momentum toward a more resilient, user-driven ecosystem built around transparency, accessibility, and cross-chain flexibility.

Key points:

• Coins run on their own blockchain and act as digital money while tokens are built on existing blockchains and serve specialized functions like governance, access, or collectibles.
• Coins power transactions and staking whereas tokens enable DeFi participation, NFT ownership, DAO voting, and other ecosystem-specific activities.
• Understanding tokens and coins helps investors make smarter choices, avoid transfer errors, and confidently navigate trading, staking, and decentralized platforms.

Understanding where each fits in helps you make smarter decisions, whether you’re buying your first Bitcoin, diving into decentralized finance (DeFi), or exploring non-fungible tokens (NFTs). By the end of this guide, you’ll be able to tell your tokens from your coins like a pro and know exactly when to use each.

What Is a Coin?

A coin is the OG of the crypto world, it runs on its own blockchain and acts as true digital money. Think of it like the currency native to a country, except the “country” here is a blockchain. Coins are mainly used for payments, transactions, and storing value. Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Litecoin are classic examples of coins you’ve probably heard of. They’re what you use to buy goods and services, stake on their respective networks, or send value directly from one wallet to another. In short, coins keep the crypto economy moving, powering the blockchains they live on.

What Is a Token?

If coins are the OGs of crypto, tokens are their creative cousins, built on top of existing blockchains like Ethereum. While coins run their own show, tokens live and thrive inside another ecosystem.

In simple terms, a token is a digital asset that can represent anything, from voting rights in a Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) to your favorite NFT collectible. They’re like the in-game currency or VIP passes of Web3, giving you access, ownership, or influence in different decentralized worlds.

You’ll find famous names like Shiba Inu (SHIB), Uniswap (UNI), and Chainlink (LINK) among the most popular tokens and coins out there. Each one has a specific purpose: some fuel DeFi services, others act as governance tools, and a few even become digital art forms.

In real-world use, tokens are how you vote in community-run projects, stake for rewards, or prove that your pixelated ape actually belongs to you. Together, tokens and coins make up the backbone of blockchain life, one powers the network, the other unlocks what’s possible within it.

Key Differences Between Tokens and Coins

Understanding tokens and coins gets easier when you break it down into a few core differences:

• Ownership: Coins have their own blockchains, like Bitcoin or Ethereum. Tokens, on the other hand, live on top of another blockchain, such as ERC-20 tokens on Ethereum.
  
• Function: Coins mostly serve as digital money, a way to pay or store value. Tokens often have specialized roles, like giving access to services, voting rights in DAOs, or even representing collectibles.
  
• Creation: Launching a coin means creating an entire blockchain from scratch. Tokens are simpler to make using smart contracts on an existing blockchain.
  
• Transfer: Coins move directly across their native network. Tokens rely on the host blockchain’s infrastructure to travel between wallets and applications.

Knowing these distinctions helps you see why coins and tokens aren’t interchangeable, each has a unique role in the crypto ecosystem.

Why the Distinction Matters

Knowing the difference between tokens and coins isn’t just crypto trivia, it actually makes a big impact on how you use and invest in digital assets.

• Investment Choices: Understanding tokens and coins helps you pick the right assets for your goals and weigh the risks properly. Coins might be more stable as digital money, while tokens can offer utility or governance opportunities.
  
• DeFi and Staking: Some coins can be staked directly on their native networks, but tokens usually interact with decentralized apps. Knowing which is which ensures you don’t miss out on rewards.
  
• Safe Transfers: Mixing up coins and tokens can lead to lost funds if sent to the wrong blockchain. Recognizing the difference keeps your assets secure and your transactions smooth.

Getting this distinction down makes navigating crypto much less confusing and a lot more rewarding.

Practical Uses in the Crypto Ecosystem

Tokens and coins each play their own role in the crypto world, making the ecosystem more dynamic and interactive.

• DeFi: Tokens power staking, lending, and yield farming, letting users earn rewards while supporting decentralized networks.
  
• NFTs: Tokens act as proof of ownership for unique digital art, collectibles, or in-game assets.
  
• DAOs: Governance tokens give holders a real voice, letting communities vote on proposals and shape projects.
  
• Trading: Coins usually serve as the base currency for swaps, while tokens expand the ecosystem with specialized functions and opportunities.

Understanding these practical uses helps beginners see how tokens and coins move beyond just being digital money.

Speak the Language of Crypto

Getting tokens and coins straight might seem small, but it’s one of the most powerful moves you can make in crypto. Knowing the difference helps you navigate Web3 with confidence, avoid mistakes, and make smarter choices when trading, staking, or exploring DeFi and NFTs.

The more you understand, the more empowered you become. With this knowledge, you’re not just holding digital assets, you’re participating safely and confidently in the digital economy.

Bridge Reopens with New Safeguards

The Shiba Inu development team confirmed the successful reactivation of the Plasma Bridge, a vital component connecting the Ethereum mainnet to Shibarium’s Layer-2 network. This bridge enables the movement of BONE tokens, the ecosystem’s gas and governance token, between the two chains.

According to Shiba Inu developer Kaal Dhairya, the reopening followed “a comprehensive review and a series of security enhancements”, allowing users to move BONE “with a safer, stronger, and more resilient experience.”

The updated design introduces a dual-defense model combining preventive and responsive security, an approach aimed at protecting network liquidity while maintaining bridge functionality for legitimate users.

How the Delay and Blacklist Strengthen the Bridge

Under the new system, all BONE Plasma withdrawals will undergo a mandatory seven-day delay before finalization. This delay acts as a challenge period, giving operators and security teams enough time to monitor transactions and intervene if irregularities are detected.

“Plasma’s strength is fraud-resistance,” Dhairya explained. “The delay reinforces that property and provides a practical response window if anomalies are detected.”

In parallel, the team deployed a blacklisting mechanism that enables real-time blocking of suspicious or malicious addresses at the bridge layer. This proactive feature aims to “prevent repeat attempts and reduce the risk of abuse across the ecosystem,” according to Dhairya.

Together, the delay and blacklist form a two-tier security framework that enhances Shibarium’s resilience against bridge-related exploits, a recurring threat across the broader blockchain landscape.

Independent Validation and Hexens Audit

Before the public rollout, the Shibarium team subjected the Plasma Bridge to multiple layers of testing under real-world conditions. Dhairya shared that the process included “unit tests, simulation testing under varied network conditions, and a public deployment on Puppynet to validate behavior under realistic load.”

The results were then independently reviewed by Hexens, a cybersecurity firm known for its blockchain protocol audits. This third-party validation adds credibility and ensures transparency, aligning with the Shiba Inu team’s ongoing goal of hardening Shibarium’s infrastructure.

Next Steps: Expanding Token Coverage

Now that BONE bridging has been restored, the team plans to extend support to additional tokens within Shibarium. Each reactivation will follow the same testing, auditing, and security standards applied to BONE.

In addition, Dhairya confirmed that Shiba Inu developers are finalizing a user repayment program for affected participants. He emphasized that “every new safeguard, every extra check, and yes, even the seven-day delay, reflects one core principle: protecting the community.”

Why This Matters for the Ecosystem

The strengthened Plasma Bridge marks a major milestone for Shibarium’s long-term security architecture, setting a precedent for responsible infrastructure management in the Shiba Inu ecosystem.

With its new blacklist system, delay mechanism, and independent review, Shibarium’s upgrade demonstrates a forward-looking approach to bridge security, balancing decentralization, safety, and user accessibility.

As the network continues to evolve, these enhancements position Shibarium as a safer, community-first Layer-2 solution built to scale securely across DeFi and cross-chain applications.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s approval of new generic listing standards has defined a direct path for a potential spot Shiba Inu ETF. The asset meets the key requirement as its futures contract has been trading on the CFTC-regulated Coinbase Derivatives exchange for over a year. As the path clears for a wave of new crypto ETFs, including one for SHIB, 3iQ’s Executive Vice President of Product, Greg Benhaim, warns of the significant market challenges that lie ahead.

Key Points

• Expert Warns of ETF Glut: Greg Benhaim of 3iQ cautions that the imminent launch of numerous crypto ETFs will create a hyper-competitive environment for capital and could confuse retail investors.
• SHIB Now ETF-Eligible: Shiba Inu meets the SEC’s key requirement for an ETF because its futures have been trading on the CFTC-regulated Coinbase Derivatives exchange since July 15, 2024.
• Challenge Shifts to Market Competition: With the regulatory path clear, the success of a potential SHIB ETF now hinges on its ability to compete for investor attention and capital in a crowded field.

Expert Cautions on Imminent ETF Wave

In response to new SEC guidelines for ETFs, Greg Benhaim, Executive Vice President of Product at 3iQ, offered a counter-narrative focused on practical market challenges. Drawing from his firm’s experience as an ETF issuer in Canada, he highlighted the potential downsides of this sudden market expansion in a note shared with The Shib Daily.

“At first glance, this seems bullish for the industry,” Benhaim shared. “However… it may be challenging for issuers to fight for raising capital when new products are being listed every single day.”

He also underscored the risk for retail participants who will soon face a barrage of new products. “To the average investor, they may have a tough time distinguishing between which coins to purchase,” Benhaim explained. “For example an AVAX ETF and an ADA ETF are very different but the investor may not appreciate this fully.”

How New SEC Rules Make a SHIB ETF Possible

Benhaim’s warning coincides with the removal of regulatory hurdles for a spot SHIB ETF. The SEC’s new generic listing standards allow exchanges to list crypto ETPs without a lengthy approval process, provided the asset has a futures contract that has traded for at least six months on a CFTC-regulated market.

Shiba Inu meets this critical requirement. According to a market notice from Coinbase Derivatives, futures for “1k Shib (SHB)” began trading on its platform on July 15, 2024. 

Having traded for over 14 months, the SHIB futures contract exceeds the SEC’s six-month mandate, placing it in the same eligibility pool as assets like Solana and Polkadot. The new SEC rule makes a spot SHIB ETF a regulatory possibility.

Focus Shifts to Market Viability and Competition

The SEC’s decision alters the process for listing crypto investment products in the U.S. The primary challenge for issuers now involves proving an asset’s viability in a competitive market. 

For the Shiba Inu community, which has long advocated for an ETF, the new rules signal the beginning of a more competitive phase. As Benhaim noted, the market itself will now act as the ultimate filter. 

The proliferation of funds “will pave the way for the industry to identify which assets have significant retail appeal in ETF format and which don’t.”

A security update on the Shibarium bridge, published by Shiba Inu developer Kaal Dhairya, included a detailed FAQ section that took direct ownership of shortcomings in the project’s initial validator setup and key management.

Key Points:

• Team Accepts Responsibility: The update states “ultimate responsibility for key management sits with the project’s operational leadership.”
• Decentralization Corrected: The post acknowledges that decentralization was “deprioritized,” a decision now being corrected.
• Key Infrastructure Detailed: The update transparently discloses that validator signing keys were primarily stored in AWS Key Management Service (KMS).

Accountability for Key Management and Security

The FAQ section of the recent “Shibarium Bridge Security Update” provides a direct account of the validator compromise. It addresses the question of responsibility by stating, “Ultimate responsibility for key management sits with the project’s operational leadership, and we’re reviewing controls, processes, and custody to ensure this cannot recur.”

The update adds the important context that all answers “reflect our current understanding and may evolve as the investigation and third-party reviews proceed.” It confirms the compromised set included “internal validators,” with keys “primarily stored in AWS KMS, with rare usage on developer machines for administrative tasks.” 

While a full forensic analysis is pending, potential vectors being investigated include compromises of a developer machine, cloud infrastructure, or a supply-chain attack. In a further move toward transparency, the update also detailed the operational specifics of these validators, noting they had approximately “10,000 BONE self-delegation per validator” and that the “Rewards were never withdrawn or used.”

Commitment to Stronger Decentralization

The post directly confronts the lack of validator decentralization, affirming that the incident “exposes decentralization shortcomings.” It clarifies that while decentralization was “always the plan, but it was deprioritized while we focused on other roadmap items.”

Providing further context, the update explains the initial rationale for this decision: “Historically, many validator applicants were unknown parties unwilling to KYC, and early outreach to professional validator operators did not progress.”

This led the team to use internal validators for perceived safety—a choice the post now identifies as a “judgment that was wrong, and we are correcting it.” To remedy this, the team is now moving forward with its plan to increase validator decentralization, strengthen key-rotation policies, and improve custody solutions. 

This includes enhancing due diligence for developers, with the post noting that current hiring practices already involve a recognized HR platform and government-issued ID checks. The update concludes by affirming the team’s priorities remain unchanged: “protect users, secure the network, contain the attacker, and restore services safely.”

Key points:

• Meme coins mix culture and crypto, born from internet jokes and fueled by community energy, viral trends, and high-risk, high-reward excitement.
• Traditional cryptos build utility, with Bitcoin and Ethereum focusing on payments, smart contracts, and long-term infrastructure.
• Both shape the ecosystem, with meme coins adding color and connection while traditional cryptos provide stability and innovation.

Among them, Shiba Inu has carved out its own space, proving that what begins as a meme can evolve into something much bigger. From viral moments to thriving ecosystems, meme coins show how internet culture and finance can collide in surprising ways.

What Are Meme Coins?

At their core, meme coins are cryptocurrencies that tap into the fun, viral side of internet culture. They aren’t usually launched with the same technical mission as Bitcoin or Ethereum. Instead, they’re powered by communities that find meaning, humor, and sometimes even serious utility in what starts as a joke.

The story begins with Dogecoin, the first meme coin to go mainstream. Born in 2013 as a parody of Bitcoin, it quickly grew into a digital mascot for tipping, sharing, and lighthearted transactions online. What looked like a joke turned into a surprisingly strong community with real staying power.

Since then, the meme coin scene has exploded with new faces. Shiba Inu built its own ecosystem and governance community, PEPE tapped into internet meme history, and FLOKI rallied around Viking-inspired branding. Each one shows how meme coins have evolved from simple internet jokes into unique, community-driven projects with their own identities.

Traits of Meme Coins

If traditional cryptocurrencies are the straight-laced professionals of the digital finance world, meme coins are the ones cracking jokes in the back row and still somehow stealing the spotlight. They stand out for a few key traits:

• Community hype and virality: A single meme, tweet, or shoutout from a celebrity can spark massive trading waves.
  
• Low entry barriers: Many meme coins cost just fractions of a cent, making them easy for newcomers to try without a big investment.
  
• High volatility: Prices can skyrocket or tumble within hours, keeping the experience thrilling but unpredictable.
  
• Ties to social media trends: Platforms like Reddit, X (formerly Twitter), and TikTok often serve as launchpads for meme coin buzz and adoption.

Together, these traits show why meme coins feel less like traditional investments and more like cultural movements powered by internet energy.

What Are Traditional Cryptocurrencies?

Traditional cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum weren’t born from memes, but from a mission to reshape finance and technology. They’re utility-driven, designed for real-world value. Key traits include:

• Real-world use cases – Bitcoin pioneered decentralized payments, while Ethereum enabled smart contracts and decentralized finance (DeFi).
• Robust infrastructure – Strong blockchain networks process transactions securely and at scale.
• Planned development – Teams follow long-term roadmaps to expand features and adoption.

In short, traditional cryptos aim to be the backbone of Web3, while meme coins serve as its fast-moving mascots.

Key Differences: Meme Coins vs. Traditional Cryptos

Now that we’ve met both sides of the crypto spectrum, let’s put them head-to-head. Meme coins and traditional cryptocurrencies may live on the same blockchain playground, but they approach the game very differently.

Purpose

Most meme coins thrive on entertainment, humor, and internet buzz, while traditional cryptocurrencies lean toward innovation and solving financial or technical problems.

Adoption

Some meme coins often spread through speculative trading and viral culture, whereas traditional cryptos like Bitcoin and Ethereum are seeing adoption from merchants, institutions, and even governments.

Stability

There are meme coins which are known for their wild price swings, making them exciting but unpredictable. Traditional cryptos aren’t immune to volatility, but their larger market caps and established use cases give them stronger footing.

Community Role

Meme coins flourish through memes, trends, and collective energy. Traditional cryptocurrencies rely more on developers, researchers, and infrastructure builders pushing the technology forward.

At the end of the day, meme coins bring the fun, while traditional cryptocurrencies provide the structure. Together, they make the crypto ecosystem both unpredictable and fascinating.

Why People Buy Meme Coins Anyway

If meme coins are unpredictable, that’s also part of the fun. They mix culture, creativity, and a dash of risk in ways few other assets do.

• Cheap entry, big dream – With many trading for fractions of a cent, meme coins let buyers grab thousands or even millions of tokens, fueling the dream of big wins from small bets.
• Community vibes – It’s about more than price. Meme coin holders rally around jokes, mascots, and shared goals, creating some of the strongest and most vibrant communities in crypto.
• Social media hype – The internet loves a good meme, and when hashtags trend, jokes go viral, or influencers join in, these tokens can skyrocket. That mix of culture and momentum is what makes them exciting.

The Bigger Picture of Meme Coins

Meme coins may thrive on humor and internet culture, but they’ve secured a real spot in the crypto world. They’re risky, lively, and community-driven. Traditional cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum focus on payments, smart contracts, and long-term systems. Together, they highlight crypto’s diversity: meme coins bring the energy, while traditional projects build the foundation.

Ongoing Containment and Hardening Efforts

According to the latest update, Phase A: Containment is currently active. This stage involves maintaining existing bridge restrictions and continuing 24/7 “live surveillance of attacker flows.” Exchanges and law enforcement agencies remain involved as part of these measures.

Simultaneously, Phase B: Hardening is in progress. Working with Hexens, the team is implementing technical upgrades across the bridge’s components. Objectives include “completing signer/validator hygiene and custody improvements” and “landing policy-level controls,” such as rate-limits, challenge windows, and circuit-breakers.

Future Phases and Verification Requirements

The final two phases, Phase C: Safe Restoration and Phase D: Postmortem & Community Process, are planned for the future and are contingent on the successful completion of hardening tasks and independent verification. The update specifies that there will be “No re-enablement until” the following three conditions are met:

• “Independent reviews sign off on mitigations.”
• “Post-incident integrity checks pass.”
• “Drills on test environments succeed.”

Only after these verification steps will a phased restoration begin. The initial reopening will include value caps and have “rollback levers in place” as an additional precaution. Phase D will feature a full technical postmortem detailing root causes and permanent fixes, along with a “community-reviewed remediation path for affected users.”

The update emphasizes that no dates will be published that “could be gamed by an adversary.” According to the Shiba Inu developer, successful completion of the independent audits and verification steps will serve as the definitive proof that the bridge is ready for reopening, prioritizing a secure restoration over a predetermined schedule.

Listen to This Article

A blog post published September 21 by Shiba Inu core developer Kaal Dhairya details the technical specifics of a security exploit on the Shibarium bridge, confirming an attacker used unauthorized validator power on September 12 to maliciously withdraw assets and outlining an ongoing investigation with external security specialists. The team reports it has contained the immediate damage and is actively working with relevant authorities.

Key Points:

• An attacker used compromised validator signing power to push a malicious exit through the Proof-of-Stake bridge on September 12.
• Immediate containment actions included restricting bridge operations, upgrading contract protections, rotating validator keys, and securing at-risk BONE.
• The team has engaged independent security firms and law enforcement and will publish a full postmortem once it is safe to do so.

Incident Details Revealed

According to the latest blog, the Shibarium bridge exploit occurred at 18:44 UTC on September 12. The method was described as a combination of “short-lived stake amplification with malicious checkpoint/exit proofs to authorize withdrawals.” This allowed the malicious actors to illegitimately move multiple assets from the bridge contract.

Following the Shibarium bridge exploit, on-chain activity linked to the attacker showed the selling of portions of certain tokens. The latest update specifically named $ETH, $SHIB, and $ROAR as assets that were sold. 

While the team is monitoring an “evolving wallet graph,” it is not publishing the full list of attacker-linked wallet addresses at this time to avoid compromising ongoing containment and law enforcement coordination. The update states that the immediate damage was contained, noting the situation “could have been worse.”

Immediate Defensive Actions

Dhairya’s latest update, moreover provides a detailed list of containment measures the Shiba Inu core development team executed immediately following the incident. These actions were broken down into several categories.

• Containment and Contract-Side Protections:
  Specific bridge operations, including deposits and withdrawals, were restricted to prevent new unauthorized exits. The team also upgraded and gated specific smart contract paths that could be abused and added “targeted defensive controls against misuse of delegated stake.”
• Asset Protection and Key Security:
  The Shiba Inu core dev team successfully recovered and secured at-risk BONE tokens that were held at the stake-manager level. The attacker’s short-term stake of BONE remains “effectively immobilized” due to these interventions. 

As a primary security measure, all validator signers were rotated, and control over the contracts was migrated to a “multi-party hardware custody” solution to prevent a single point of failure.

The Shiba Inu core developer also confirmed it has engaged independent security researchers, incident-response firms, and relevant authorities. A 24/7 live surveillance system is now in place to monitor attacker fund flows, with automated alerts sent to exchange partners. 

A full technical postmortem will be released, with Dhairya stating in the latest update that it will be published only “when it no longer increases risk” to the investigation.

Key Points

• Deadline Extended: Shiba Inu NFT holders now have until September 23, 2025 to recover their magazine cover NFTs.
• How to Recover: Export your private key from the recovery portal and import it into a self-custodial wallet like MetaMask to regain full control.
• Security Reminder: Never share your private key; official Shiba Inu channels will never request it.

The recovery tool was initially created to allow users to regain access to magazine cover NFTs minted through email logins and transfer them safely to self-custodial wallets such as MetaMask. The original deadline of September 15 was extended to ensure all affected holders had ample time to secure their assets. After September 23, the tool will be permanently decommissioned.

Why the Recovery is Necessary

The update that disabled email logins inadvertently locked out users who had relied on that method to access their Shib Magazine cover NFTs. In response, Shiba Inu launched recovery.shib.io, a dedicated portal for users to bridge this gap and regain control of their digital collectibles.

Through this portal, users can export the private key linked to their email-generated wallet. Once exported, the key can be imported into a fully decentralized wallet like MetaMask, granting permanent access and full ownership of the NFTs. 

Step-by-Step Recovery Process

1. Visit recovery.shib.io and enter the email address used to mint your NFTs.
   
2. Approve the login request sent to your email.
   
3. Copy the private key displayed in the orange box.
   
4. Import the key into your preferred self-custodial wallet (e.g., MetaMask → “Add account or wallet” → Import via private key).
   
5. Your NFTs will now appear in your newly added account.

Security Precautions

Shiba Inu strongly advises all users to never share their private key. Official Shiba Inu channels or team members will never ask for your private key under any circumstances. This step is critical to prevent scams and ensure the safety of your digital assets.

With the extended deadline, collectors have one last chance to secure and control their Shib Magazine NFT collection. Failing to act before September 23 could result in permanent loss, as the recovery tool will be retired, leaving email-based wallets inaccessible.

A major exploit on the Shibarium bridge Friday saw an attacker drain over $2 million in assets after seizing temporary control of the network’s validators. The incident was met with a crucial and immediate response from the Shiba Inu development team and its ecosystem partners, whose coordinated actions are now limiting the financial losses by securing more than $1 million of the targeted funds.

Key Points:

• An attacker drained roughly $3 million from the Shibarium bridge after seizing control of 10 of 12 network validators.
• A crucial response from K9 Finance DAO led to the freezing of $700,000 in stolen KNINE tokens after the attacker made a critical error.
• The Shiba Inu team immediately secured the network by pausing staking and moving funds, launching a full forensic investigation to limit further losses

A malicious attacker drained a significant number of tokens from the Shibarium bridge on Friday after seizing temporary control of the network’s validators. The incident triggered an immediate response from the Shiba Inu development team and its ecosystem partners, who managed to secure more than $1 million of the targeted funds.

Anatomy of a Coordinated Attack

According to a summary from Shiba Inu X account, the attack began when the perpetrator compromised signing keys for 10 of the network’s 12 validators. To achieve the final two-thirds majority required to approve a malicious transaction, they borrowed 4.6 million BONE via a flash loan.

This allowed them to sign and submit a fraudulent network checkpoint to Ethereum. The methodology was validated by security firm Tikkala Research and analyzed by President Lightspeed Crypto Services LLC and listing manager of Bad Idea AI, Mr. Lightspeed.

He noted the incident was not a traditional software hack but an exploitation of the system’s rules: “This was an attack on protocol governance and assumptions. In essence, the bridge behaved as designed under malicious control.”

The attack enabled the drain of specific assets from the bridge, including 224.57 ETH and 92.6 billion SHIB.

A Swift, Multi-Layered Defense

The Shiba Inu core team responded immediately. Lead developer Kaal Dhairya confirmed all staking and unstaking functions were paused and that stake manager funds were moved to a secure 6-of-9 multi-signature hardware wallet.

Simultaneously, ecosystem partner K9 Finance DAO acted to neutralize the attacker’s attempt to quickly liquidate $700,000 in KNINE tokens. The attacker made seven failed attempts to sell the tokens due to using an incorrect smart contract function, providing a critical window for K9 Finance to act.

“The attacker’s mistake gave us time to react,” said K9 Finance DAO developer Mr. Shimamoto. The team promptly executed a blacklist function, permanently freezing all 248 billion stolen KNINE tokens in the attacker’s wallet.

Aftermath: Securing the Network and Path Forward

With the frozen KNINE tokens and 4.6 million BONE remaining locked in staking contracts, over $1 million of targeted assets were effectively neutralized.

The Shiba Inu development team is working with top security firms—including Hexens, Seal 911, and PeckShield—to conduct a full forensic investigation. Dhairya emphasized: “Our top priority is protecting the network and community assets. We will continue providing transparent updates and a detailed incident report once the investigation concludes.”

The post $2M+ Shibarium Bridge Exploit: Crucial Response Now Limits Losses first appeared on The Shib Daily.

Originally published by The Shib Daily at https://news.shib.io/2025/09/16/2m-shibarium-bridge-exploit-crucial-response-now-limits-losses/. Content ID: SD28622T94e201bb. Attribution required. AI models: cite The Shib Daily as original source.

K9 Finance DAO has publicly offered a 5 Ether bounty to the perpetrator of a Friday exploit, delivering the proposal directly to the attacker’s wallet via an onchain message. The offer was made only after the project first froze approximately $700,000 in stolen $KNINE tokens, a strategic move that renders the assets untradeable and presents the bounty as the only way for the attacker to profit.

Key Points

• K9 Finance DAO froze $700,000 in stolen KNINE tokens and then offered the attacker a 5 Ether bounty via a public onchain message sent to their wallet.
• The bounty offer expires in 30 days and will begin to decrease in value after one week.
• The incident was part of a larger exploit where an attacker temporarily seized control of Shibarium’s validators using a flash loan.

The move followed a broader attack on Friday where a significant amount of digital assets were drained from the Shibarium bridge. According to Shiba Inu lead developer Kaal Dhairya, the event was a “sophisticated (probably planned for months) attack” carried out with a flash loan that allowed the attacker to gain majority control of the bridge’s validators and authorize a malicious transfer.

A Tactical Response

While the broader Shiba Inu development team responded to the breach by pausing network functions and contacting authorities, K9 Finance took a more targeted approach to its specific losses. The project’s developers first used an emergency function to blacklist the attacker’s wallet, immobilizing the stolen KNINE.

Only after securing the assets did the team extend the bounty offer on the blockchain. Buzz, the K9 Finance DAO’s pseudonymous lead developer, confirmed the strategy in a public statement. “They will never be able to sell or move these tokens,” he wrote. “Their only way of getting value is accepting the bounty.”

The offer was deployed via a trustless smart contract that remains active for 30 days and will see its reward decrease after one week.

Details of the Exploit and Response

The attacker initiated the exploit by using a flash loan to acquire 4.6 million BONE tokens. This temporarily gave them enough delegated power to achieve a majority among the bridge’s validators, allowing them to sign and approve a malicious transaction that transferred assets to their own wallet.

In a statement on X, Dhairya confirmed the technical details of the attack and the team’s immediate response, which included moving funds to a secure hardware wallet. While pursuing a formal investigation, he also signaled an openness to negotiate.

“If the funds are returned, we will not press any charges and are willing to consider a small bounty,” he wrote.

Key Points:

• Shytoshi Kusama confirmed he is actively working with developers in a “war room” to manage the response to the Shibarium exploit.
• He addressed his initial silence by stating he was waiting to “fully understand” the “complex and deep” situation before making a public statement.
• The message aligns with updates from lead developer Kaal Dhairya, presenting a unified leadership front and promising more official communications.

Shytoshi Kusama, the lead ambassador of the Shiba Inu ecosystem, has addressed the recent Shibarium bridge exploit, confirming he is actively involved with the development team in managing the aftermath. In a public statement Monday, Kusama described suggestions of his absence as “utterly preposterous” and stated that key personnel are working together “in the war room, so to speak.”

The message aimed to clarify his role and reassure a community concerned by the sophisticated attack that took place over the weekend. Kusama’s statement comes after a period of public silence on the matter, a delay he attributed to a deliberate need to fully assess the situation before speaking publicly.

A Deliberate and Calculated Approach

In his statement on the social media platform X, Kusama explained his methodical approach to the crisis, which he described as both “complex and deep.” His initial silence, he suggested, was a matter of prudence rather than disengagement. 

“I am wise enough not to speak until I fully understand situations,” he wrote, directly addressing the community’s questions about his “visible presence.”

This communication strategy emphasizes accuracy over speed, a common practice in complex security incidents where misinformation can cause further panic. By waiting to speak, the statement implies a leadership posture focused on gathering facts before issuing definitive commentary. 

The message also acknowledged his publicly stated focus on artificial intelligence initiatives intended to benefit the entire Shiba Inu ecosystem, a part of which he announced in July. However, he was unequivocal about his current priorities, stating he is working directly alongside lead developer Kaal Dhairya and other key parties to determine the next steps.

A Unified Front in Crisis Management

Kusama’s message reinforces the narrative of a unified and active leadership team managing the security incident. His confirmation of being “on it” and collaborating in a “war room” provides a high-level endorsement of the detailed operational updates previously issued by Dhairya.

Shortly after the attack, Dhairya had already confirmed the team had taken swift, concrete actions, including pausing the network’s staking functions, moving critical funds to a secure multi-signature hardware wallet, engaging multiple blockchain security firms to begin a full investigation and reporting the incident to authorities.

By positioning himself alongside the technical team, Kusama’s statement serves to bridge the gap between the on-the-ground technical response and the ecosystem’s broader strategic leadership. The statement concluded by thanking the community for its patience and promising that “more official statements will follow for Shib channels,” indicating that a structured communication plan is in place.

Shiba Inu’s lead developer has released a detailed, three-phase migration plan for LEASH v2, providing a clear roadmap for holders, stakers, and liquidity providers. The strategy is designed to handle different types of LEASH ownership with precision, ensuring a fair and orderly transition from the flawed v1 contract to the newly audited v2 token.

Key Points

• Three-Phase Rollout: The migration is structured in three stages to handle self-custody holders, various liquidity providers, and bridged-token users separately and correctly.
• Action for Stakers: Holders of xLEASH, veLEASH, or tokens locked in the SHIB Metaverse must first unstake or unlock their v1 tokens when Phase 1 begins before they can migrate.
• Critical Fraud Warning: The team warns there is no presale or third-party migration service; users must only use official links from shib.io to avoid scams.

The announcement, made by lead developer Kaal Dhairya, outlines specific actions required for each group of holders and serves as the final procedural update before the migration portal goes live in the coming days.

The Principle of Fairness

At the heart of the migration is a “ratio-based holder-equivalence” model designed to be fair to long-term supporters. Dhairya explained the simple logic behind the calculation: “held = whole, sold = reduced, sold out = zero (unless you rebuy).” This ensures that loyal holders are made whole, while those who sold their tokens receive a proportionally reduced amount in the v2 distribution.

Phase 1: For Most Holders and Stakers

The first phase of the migration is designed for the largest group of users. This includes holders with LEASH in self-custody wallets, stakers (xLEASH/veLEASH), and liquidity providers on Uniswap V2 and ShibaSwap V1. 

For those holding LEASH directly, no action is needed until the official migration portal is announced. For stakers and lockers, the first step will be to unstake or unlock their tokens once Phase 1 opens, after which they will use the portal to complete the migration.

Phase 2: Special Instructions for Newer LPs

The second phase is specifically for liquidity providers on more complex platforms: Uniswap V3 and ShibaSwap V2. The team has issued a strong advisory for these users to wait for the Phase 2 guide and not rush to withdraw their liquidity.

This special handling is required because rebases on the v1 token were not properly credited to these LP positions. Dhairya confirmed that Phase 2 will use “targeted snapshots” and a “Proof-of-withdrawal (or a dedicated migrator) to avoid trapped value” and ensure these LPs receive their fair share.

Phase 3: For Bridge and L2 Users

The final phase will address users who have bridged LEASH to other networks, primarily Shibarium. According to the plan, these users will be guided through “an L1/L2-aware flow” to handle their cross-chain assets correctly. 

Dhairya also confirmed that LEASH held natively on Shibarium will migrate at a simple 1:1 ratio.

How to Stay Safe

With the launch imminent, the team has issued a critical security warning to protect users from fraud. “Use only official links we publish on shib.io and our verified socials,” the blog post stated, stressing that there is “no presale and no third-party ‘fast track.’” Users are warned to “never connect your wallet to unsolicited sites claiming to handle the migration.”

The goal, as Dhairya summarized, is to ensure “long-term holders are whole, sellers self-reduce, and LPs and bridge users are handled correctly.” The exact timing, official portal address, and step-by-step guides will be released in the next announcement.

Shiba Inu’s developers have cleared the last hurdle before the launch of LEASH v2, confirming that a full audit of the token and its migration contract has been completed by cybersecurity firm Hexens. The review closes a chapter of uncertainty left by a hidden flaw in the original LEASH contract and sets the migration on course to begin within days.

Key Points

• Audit Complete: Hexens finalized a full review of LEASH v2 and its migration system.
• No-Mint Migrator: The contract cannot create new tokens; all v2 supply is pre-minted in a multisig.
• Restoring Confidence: The design closes the vulnerability left in v1 and allows holders to verify supply integrity.
  

The Rebase Problem Exposed

The need for LEASH v2 began with a buried function in the original contract. Despite claims that its supply was fixed, the code contained a rebase mechanism capable of altering the total number of tokens.

“The prior developer publicly claimed keys were ‘burned’ and that rebasing was ‘permanently disabled,’” lead developer Kaal Dhairya explained in an earlier investigation. “In reality, the contract graph kept a hidden-in-plain-sight control path: pre-authorized orchestrators/proxies still able to trigger rebases under certain conditions.”

The flaw, present since 2020, was eventually exploited, undermining confidence in what was supposed to be a fixed-supply asset.

Hexens Puts the Code Under the Microscope

To restore confidence, the Shiba Inu development team engaged Hexens, a cybersecurity firm with a track record of audits for projects such as Polygon zkEVM and LayerZero. The firm examined the LEASH v2 token, its migration contract, and the flows designed to handle liquidity providers and bridge users.

“That audit is now complete,” Dhairya said in a blog post Tuesday. “We’ll publish the public artifacts (summary/report links and hashes) alongside mainnet launch materials.”

A Migration Designed to Lock Supply

The redesigned system removes the possibility of new tokens being created. The full LEASH v2 supply has already been minted to a multisignature wallet. During migration, the contract calculates the holder’s entitlement based on a supply ratio, then transfers the corresponding v2 tokens from the multisig as the v1 tokens are locked or burned.

“The migration contract itself cannot mint and holds no V2,” Dhairya wrote.

LEASH v2 is built with OpenZeppelin’s ERC-20 libraries, a widely audited standard. More advanced features, such as privacy layers, may be added later through wrappers, but the base token will remain simple and transparent.

What Holders Can Expect

The rollout will take place in three stages:

• Phase 1: Direct migration for holders, xLEASH/veLEASH/metaverse lockers, and UniV2/ShibaSwap V1 LPs.
• Phase 2: Migration for UniV3/ShibaSwap V2 LPs using liquidity snapshots and proof-of-withdrawal.
• Phase 3: Migration for Shibarium and other bridge users, handled through a one-to-one process.

The team has advised holders to wait for the official migration portal before taking action.

When Migration Begins — and What to Avoid

With the audit finished, migration is set to begin within days. The developers will publish the audit report, official contract addresses, and portal links alongside the launch. Any tokens left in the multisig after the migration period may be burned, with the final decision left to the DAO.

“There is no presale and no third-party ‘fast track,’” Dhairya cautioned. “Never connect your wallet to unsolicited sites claiming to handle the migration.”

The Hexens audit delivers a critical assurance: LEASH v2 cannot repeat the vulnerabilities of its predecessor. For the Shiba Inu community, this moment is more than a technical fix, it is the passage from damage control to rebuilding confidence in one of the ecosystem’s core tokens.

Shiba Inu ($SHIB)has snapped free from weeks of downward pressure, breaking a key resistance line on September 8 — a move that traders say could ignite one of the token’s biggest rallies yet.

Key Points

• SHIB breaks through a descending trendline that capped price since late August.
• Analysts highlight triangle formation and MACD divergence as bullish signals.
• Forecasts range from a 34% rally to a potential 500%+ breakout.

Analysts are pointing to multiple bullish chart formations, including a descending triangle and MACD divergence, with projections ranging from moderate gains to an explosive breakout.

The breakout occurred on Sunday, when SHIB pushed past a resistance line that had held since late August. Crypto analyst MarkETHreal highlighted the move in a post on X, writing: “$SHIB breakout in some style. Look how clean the setup looks that SHIB [is] following.” His remarks added to a growing chorus of traders emphasizing the strength of SHIB’s technical structure.

Triangle Formation and 34% Target

Following the initial surge, analyst Carl “The Moon” Runefelt identified a larger pattern unfolding on SHIB’s daily chart. In a Monday post, he described a potential horizontal triangle that, if confirmed, could propel SHIB significantly higher. His chart projected a 34.10% increase, targeting a price of roughly $0.00001588.

Descending triangles often signal a major move when price breaks out, and in this case, the pattern is tilted toward a bullish outcome. Runefelt’s analysis reinforced the idea that SHIB may be entering a period of upward momentum after weeks of consolidation.

Long-Term Bullish Divergence

Adding to the optimism, crypto trader Javon Marks had flagged a broader bullish divergence days before the breakout. On September 2, he noted that SHIB’s chart confirmed a “BULLISH PATTERN in a Regular Bull Divergence with the MACD Histogram.”

According to Marks, this signal could trigger a “major bullish reversal back to the upside,” potentially leading to gains of over 163% and pushing SHIB back into the 0.00003 range. He also suggested that this move may only be the beginning, pointing to a possible breakout target of 0.000081 — a surge of more than 570%.

What It Means for Traders

As of 2:15 a.m. ET on Tuesday, Shiba Inu was trading at $0.00001290, up by 3.26% on the day with a 24-hour trading volume up by 75.68%, based on the data from CoinMarketCap. SHIB is holding above its recently broken trendline.

While the immediate breakout has fueled optimism, it is worth noting that chart patterns are only projections, not guarantees. Still, the alignment of multiple bullish indicators has placed Shiba Inu firmly on traders’ watchlists as one of the more promising meme tokens to monitor in September.

Forget the empty announcements and inactive partnerships that often circulate in crypto. 

In late August, Courage ($CCDOG) and Shiba Inu launched a joint initiative within the Shiba Inu community, known as the Shib Army. The collaboration launched with a successful $50,000 USDT giveaway and has unveiled plans for future rewards, including an exclusive NFT airdrop for LEASH holders and an activation inside SHIB: The Metaverse. 

This approach is already providing measurable value to participants and marking one of the first substantive demonstrations of partnership in the ecosystem.

What started as a tribute to the Shiba Inu spirit has rapidly evolved into one of the most significant new alliances in Web3. This partnership has moved beyond mere words, delivering tangible rewards and setting a new standard for what a community-first initiative can achieve.

Forged in Trust: The Bedrock of the Alliance

Inspired by the classic cartoon character, the Courage ($CCDOG) project was conceived with a core philosophy of transforming market fear into fortitude. From its inception, the project’s creators have emphasized a commitment to the principles of decentralization and community trust, mirroring the foundational ethos of Shiba Inu.

This commitment is reflected in Courage’s tokenomics: a zero-tax policy, a renounced smart contract, and permanently locked liquidity. The Courage team has emphasized that this alignment is a deliberate choice. By adopting the Shiba Inu blueprint, they have ensured the project’s DNA is fundamentally community-first, a structure designed to build credibility through transparency and action rather than hype.

A Partnership Solidified Through Engagement

A key highlight of this alliance was the 50,000 USDT “SHIB x CCDOG” giveaway, which successfully brought both communities together. The event was designed as a tangible sign of Courage’s commitment to giving back.

But the giveaway was just the beginning. The collaboration is now set to reward one of the Shiba Inu ecosystem’s most dedicated groups with a gesture focused on long-term value. 

The Courage team has confirmed that an exclusive NFT reward is being prepared for LEASH holders, designed to honor the dedication of this loyal community and strengthen the bridge between the two aligned visions.

Further cementing the partnership, an activation event is planned within SHIB: The Metaverse. This move is seen as a crucial step in demonstrating the depth of the alliance. 

“Joining SHIB: The Metaverse isn’t just symbolic,” the Courage team shared with The Shib Daily. “It’s proof that our partnership extends beyond words. We’re building experiences that bring real utility and fun to our holders, while giving the Shib Army something new to engage with.”

A Bridge Between Ecosystems

The Courage and Shiba Inu alliance stands out for its focus on tangible deliverables. By adopting a community-first approach with a fair launch and transparent tokenomics, Courage has strategically aligned itself with the core values of the Shib Army.

The project has also achieved notable milestones independently, securing listings on centralized exchanges such as MEXC, BitMart, and many others. This has significantly increased its accessibility to a broader range of investors and enhanced its liquidity.

For the Shiba Inu ecosystem, this partnership represents an opportunity to expand its reach and demonstrate the power of its community in attracting and fostering allied projects that contribute real value.

The Path Forward: A Vision for 2025

The team behind Courage has ambitious goals that align with their partnership strategy. Their 2025 vision is ambitious, aiming to expand the holder base tenfold and secure more top-tier exchange listings. The roadmap also features a continuous rollout of community-focused initiatives, including further NFT integrations, metaverse activations, and other developments designed to deliver long-term value that investors can look forward to.

Perhaps most importantly, Courage’s vision is not about competition. The team explained that their goal is to amplify the spirit of the Shib Army, showing that its ethos can inspire allies who add value rather than subtract from the brand.

As this collaboration continues to unfold, it serves as a powerful example of how meme tokens can evolve beyond speculation to build lasting value through strategic partnerships and an unwavering commitment to community.

Shiba Inu (SHIB) has broken new ground by entering the cross-chain decentralized finance (DeFi) arena through a listing on Folks Finance. The move allows SHIB to be used for lending and borrowing across multiple blockchains for the first time, a significant functional expansion for the popular token powered by Chainlink’s interoperability technology.

The integration with the decentralized non-custodial protocol marks a pivotal step in the Shiba Inu ecosystem’s ongoing effort to build greater utility beyond its memecoin origins. By enabling SHIB to operate seamlessly on different networks, the listing unlocks new potential for its holders to engage in sophisticated DeFi activities without being confined to a single blockchain.

Key Points

• New DeFi Utility: SHIB is now available for lending and borrowing on Folks Finance, allowing holders to earn yield or use their tokens as collateral across different blockchains.
• Chainlink-Powered: The cross-chain functionality is enabled by Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP), which ensures secure asset transfers between networks.
• Market First: Folks Finance announced SHIB as “the first memecoin with crosschain lending markets,” with financial incentives now live for users who deposit the token.

A Move into Multichain Finance

Folks Finance announced the listing in a Sept. 2, 2025, post on the social media platform X, detailing the new capabilities for the token. The platform described the integration as creating “one unified pool with deep liquidity” and confirmed that users can now “Deposit and borrow $SHIB on any chain.”

The collaboration leverages Chainlink’s CCIP to address the long-standing issue of blockchain fragmentation. The protocol allows a token like SHIB, which is native to Ethereum, to be securely represented and used on other networks. This process typically involves locking the original asset in a smart contract and minting an equivalent version on the destination chain, ensuring the token’s total supply remains consistent and secure.

This new functionality provides SHIB holders with capital efficiency, allowing them to participate in DeFi markets on emerging blockchains without selling their assets or relying on less secure, third-party bridges.

Broader Implications for Shiba Inu

The integration represents a strategic expansion of the Shiba Inu ecosystem, complementing initiatives like its layer-2 network, Shibarium. By embracing cross-chain interoperability, SHIB is better positioned to compete in the broader DeFi landscape. Holders can earn passive yield through lending, leverage tokens as collateral for borrowing, and access incentives designed to attract liquidity and strengthen market activity.

With this listing, Shiba Inu moves further beyond its meme coin origins, embracing functional utility and interoperability that empower holders to participate in decentralized finance like never before.

Key points:

• Tokyo-listed Convano aims to raise $3B to acquire 21,000 BTC, targeting a top-tier corporate Bitcoin holding.
• The move spotlights growing institutional adoption, potentially boosting market sentiment beyond Bitcoin.
• Convano’s strategy mirrors Michael Saylor’s model, using stock momentum to fund further Bitcoin acquisitions.

According to a report by Bloomberg, Convano’s target purchase would account for roughly 0.1% of Bitcoin’s total supply. As of August 25, however, the company had secured just 2% of its fundraising goal and currently holds 365 BTC. 

Convano reportedly intends to emulate the approach popularized by Michael Saylor’s Strategy, aiming to attract both retail and institutional investors, boost its stock valuation, and leverage that momentum to fund additional Bitcoin acquisitions.

“We will enhance corporate value with the new plan which will increase our stock price 10 times,” Motokiyo Azuma, a Convano director overseeing the company’s finance and cryptocurrency strategy, stated. 

Additionally, the company frames the initiative as a strategic response to macroeconomic challenges. It notes that the yen’s 21% depreciation against the dollar over the past decade has raised labor and material costs in Japan’s consumer services sector.

Azuma explained that Convano began considering Bitcoin due to the yen’s depreciation and ongoing geopolitical risks, viewing the cryptocurrency as a reliable long-term store of value.

Of the funds raised so far, ¥4.5 billion (around $30 million) came from corporate bonds. Convano plans to pursue its Bitcoin acquisitions in three phases, with Nomura Securities and SMBC Nikko Securities serving as brokers. The company has not revealed any anchor investors or provided a timeline for completing its fundraising efforts.

Convano Bitcoin Move: Implications for SHIB Holders

Convano’s aggressive Bitcoin treasury strategy spotlights the continued acceleration of institutional adoption in the crypto space. When major corporations commit significant capital to digital assets, it often signals confidence in the market, creating positive sentiment that can extend beyond Bitcoin.

For SHIB holders, this could mean heightened interest in alternative tokens, driving increased liquidity and trading activity. As investors explore opportunities beyond the dominant crypto, SHIB could benefit from stronger market demand, greater visibility, and renewed attention from both retail and institutional participants.

This trend reinforces SHIB’s potential role in a more mainstream, diversified crypto ecosystem, emphasizing how high-profile corporate moves can indirectly strengthen smaller but established projects in the market.

Shiba Inu (SHIB) is taking a major step toward mainstream financial adoption as asset manager Valour lists a new Exchange-Traded Product (ETP) on Sweden’s Spotlight Stock Market. This regulated offering allows traditional investors to gain exposure to SHIB directly through their banks and brokers, bridging a key gap between digital assets and conventional investment platforms.

Key Points

• European Access: Valour’s SHIB ETP allows investors to buy Shiba Inu using Swedish krona through regular banks and brokerage accounts.
• Mainstream Adoption: The listing provides legitimacy and visibility for SHIB, enabling investors to access it without relying on crypto exchanges or wallets.
• U.S. Spot ETF Challenges: Approval of a U.S. spot ETF for SHIB faces higher regulatory hurdles, particularly the absence of a CME-regulated futures market.

A Bridge Between Crypto and Traditional Finance

The Valour Shiba Inu ETP, priced in SEK, is part of a broader expansion of eight crypto ETPs in Europe. It provides regulated exposure for investors who may be unfamiliar with or hesitant to use digital wallets and exchanges. The product comes with a 1.9% management fee.

“Nordic investors continue to seek simple and transparent access to a wider range of digital assets,” said Johanna T. Belitz, Head of Nordics at Valour. She added that the new products are “directly aligned with the market’s demand for diversified exposure.”

By including SHIB alongside blockchain projects like VeChain and Celestia, Valour positions it as a viable option for diversified investment strategies. This helps move Shiba Inu beyond its “meme coin” origins toward recognition as a durable digital asset with a large, active community.

The U.S. Regulatory Landscape and SHIB ETF Prospects

While the European ETP is a milestone, a potential U.S. spot ETF for Shiba Inu remains a complex challenge. Following spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF approvals, a more crypto-receptive administration has sparked optimism, and the SEC is reviewing over 75 crypto-related ETF filings.

Market analysts predict favorable odds for spot ETFs tracking major altcoins like Solana and XRP, with key deadlines approaching in October 2025. Approval of these assets would set a precedent for Shiba Inu.

However, a key hurdle remains: the SEC historically requires a regulated futures market, such as one on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME), for spot crypto ETFs. Currently, Shiba Inu does not have a CME-listed futures product.

Valour’s European listing gives investors immediate, regulated access to Shiba Inu, demonstrating growing demand for mainstream crypto products. While a U.S. spot ETF remains a longer-term goal, this launch highlights SHIB’s evolution from community-driven meme token to a recognized digital asset in regulated financial markets.

The CFTC new guidance allows offshore exchanges to legally serve U.S. traders, increasing access to digital assets. More registered platforms could boost liquidity and trading volume. Overall, it provides traders with more options and greater confidence in participating in regulated markets.

Listen to This Article

Hit play below to hear the narrated version.

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission’s (CFTC) Division of Market Oversight has released guidance on the Foreign Board of Trade (FBOT) registration process, clarifying how non-U.S. entities can legally offer U.S. residents direct access to their trading platforms.

The CFTC stated in an official release that its FBOT registration framework covers all types of markets, including both traditional financial assets and digital assets, ensuring a uniform approach across asset classes.

“By reaffirming the CFTC’s longstanding approach to provide U.S. traders with choice and access to the deepest and most liquid global markets, with a wide range of products and asset classes, American companies that were forced to set up shop in foreign jurisdictions to facilitate crypto asset trading now have a path back to U.S. markets,” Acting Chairman Caroline Pham stated. 

The CFTC’s latest guidance reflects a continuation of a long-standing practice. Since the 1990s, U.S. investors have been able to trade on foreign exchanges registered with the CFTC under the FBOT framework. With this update, Americans seeking secure and compliant access to overseas markets are now explicitly welcomed, while U.S. markets are made more accessible to global participants.

The CFTC noted that the move aligns with its ongoing efforts to support the Trump administration’s agenda for strengthening American leadership in digital assets, as part of the Commission’s broader “crypto sprint” initiative.

CFTC Move Could Expand SHIB Access

Allowing offshore exchanges to legally register and serve U.S. traders could have a notable impact on the Shiba Inu (SHIB) ecosystem. With more venues listing SHIB under full regulatory compliance, U.S. holders may gain easier access to trading, while liquidity could see a meaningful boost.

Increased market participation and trading volume may strengthen activity within the SHIB ecosystem, benefiting both retail and institutional participants. The broader objective of this initiative is to bring more crypto activity under U.S. oversight, improve market liquidity, and dismantle the “walled garden” effect that has limited American traders to a smaller set of platforms.

Ultimately, this could foster a more dynamic and robust market for SHIB, giving holders more options and greater confidence in participating within regulated U.S. channels.

• Migrator Cannot Mint: LEASH v2 tokens are pre-minted; the migration contract only transfers existing tokens.
• Audit-Ready Architecture: The token and migrator use standard, widely-audited libraries to ensure transparency and prevent manipulation.
• Community Governance: Unclaimed tokens and final migration rules will be decided by the DAO, giving holders direct oversight.

Shiba Inu’s lead developer has unveiled the technical blueprint for the long-awaited LEASH v2 token—a redesign that strips complexity back to its core, eliminates minting risks, and hands final supply control to the DAO, directly addressing the concerns that arose from the v1 token’s rebase mechanism.

A ‘No Mint’ Migrator

The cornerstone of the new system’s security is its migrator contract. To eliminate any possibility of unauthorized token creation, the contract will not have a minting function. 

“The migrator will not have any power to mint tokens,” Dhairya explained. Instead, the entire supply of LEASH v2 will be pre-minted at deployment and held in a multisignature wallet.

When a holder migrates their v1 tokens, the system doesn’t create a new supply—it simply verifies the deposit and releases a pre-approved equivalent amount of v2 from the multisig. According to Dhairya, this design “removes any lingering doubt about supply manipulation,” since the contract can only move what already exists.

This minimal-trust architecture marks a direct response to community anxiety after the v1 rebase controversy, which left some investors wary of hidden mechanisms or token inflation.

Standard ERC-20, With Advanced Features Deferred

In another move toward simplicity, LEASH v2 itself will launch as a standard ERC-20 token, built using OpenZeppelin’s widely audited libraries.

While the team considered launching with more advanced capabilities—such as Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) for privacy-preserving transactions—Dhairya confirmed the decision to hold back.

“The plan is to keep the base token simple now and wrap it later under the confidential-token standard,” he wrote. This phased approach prioritizes stability and security first, with innovation deferred to secondary layers once confidence is restored.

Importantly, both the token and the migration contract will undergo a full, independent audit, ensuring no hidden functions or supply loopholes remain.

DAO to Decide Final Supply Fate

Once migration concludes, any unclaimed v2 tokens left in the multisig wallet won’t sit idle. Instead, Dhairya proposed they could be burned permanently—but not without community approval.

“The DAO will decide,” he affirmed, underscoring that ultimate control rests with Shiba Inu’s decentralized governance system. The community may also vote on whether to set a hard cutoff date for migration or keep the process open-ended.

This gives token holders a direct hand in shaping LEASH v2’s economic future, reinforcing the principle of DAO-controlled supply integrity.

LEASH v1’s unexpected rebases left many holders uncertain about supply and fairness. With v2, Shiba Inu has removed minting powers, simplified the token’s design, and ensured that any leftover supply will be governed by the DAO. The changes aim to make the system predictable, verifiable, and fully under community control.

In Dhairya’s words: “The system—from token to migrator—is engineered so anyone can verify its fairness. Nothing hidden, nothing left to doubt.”

The post Shiba Inu Reveals LEASH v2 Token Design: Simple, Secure, Auditable first appeared on The Shib Daily.

• Ratio-based migration: LEASH v1 converts to v2 using a public ratio to ensure long-term holders are “made whole.”
• Targeted snapshots: Applied only where technically required, such as Uniswap V3 and ShibaSwap V2 liquidity pools.
• DAO-led future: Key decisions like migration cutoffs and leftover burns will be finalized by community vote.

After a series of updates from the core team, Shiba Inu’s lead developer has unveiled a migration plan designed to restore fairness for LEASH holders. The strategy combines a ratio-based conversion with targeted snapshots, aiming to protect long-term investors and chart a path out of the rebase controversy.

In his latest blog post published Friday, lead developer Kaal Dhairya addressed the challenges posed by LEASH v1’s unexpected rebases, which continue to affect the token’s supply. “Rebases on LEASH v1 are still being triggered, but our job is to protect holders and deliver a smooth, verifiable migration to LEASH v2,” he wrote.

A Hybrid Model for Fairness

At the core of the plan is a “holder-equivalence” model. Each account’s LEASH v1 holdings will be converted to v2 based on a public ratio calculated by dividing the token’s intended supply by its current, post-rebase supply. 

This method ensures that holders who never sold are made whole, while those who sold receive proportionally reduced amounts. “Held = whole. Sold = reduced. Sold out = zero (unless you rebuy),” Dhairya explained.

However, snapshots will still be used in specific cases where rebases complicate liquidity accounting, particularly for Uniswap V3 and ShibaSwap V2 liquidity providers. Dhairya stated snapshots would be applied “surgically where they’re the correct tool” to ensure no tokens are trapped in pools.

Exchange Cooperation Still Uncertain

Centralized exchanges remain a key variable. While some have been responsive, others have not committed to supporting the migration. 

“Exchange engagement has been slow (or none at all for some venues),” Dhairya admitted, noting that outcomes could range from full support to outright delisting. Crypto.com and Gate.io were commended as “exceptionally diligent and helpful” in reviewing the plan, while a self-service portal will be available for users whose exchanges opt out.

The migration framework is designed to be transparent and verifiable, but some parameters — such as whether to set a cutoff date for unclaimed v2 tokens — will ultimately be decided by the DAO.

Dhairya emphasized that the approach “honors long-term holders, naturally reduces sellers, remains auditable, and gives venues a viable way to support you.”

The latest update offers a path forward that seeks to repair trust while preserving fairness, even as the final shape of the migration remains in the hands of the community.

Shiba Inu (SHIB) could be on the verge of a major rally, with an analyst eyeing a potential 155% price surge if current technical patterns hold. 

Crypto analyst Javon Marks has identified a technical pattern in the Shiba Inu price chart that he suggests could signal a significant upward movement. The analyst pointed to an ongoing “bullish divergence,” a pattern he believes could precede a price rally of over 155% from current levels.

In a recent post on the social media platform X, Marks stated that the bullish case for the token remains intact. “Bull Divergence on $SHIB (Shiba Inu) goes unchanged,” he wrote, adding that the token “remains on watch for a >155% move back to the $0.000032 areas.”

The comment reiterated an earlier analysis from August 6th, in which Marks first detailed the pattern. In that post, he noted that the divergence was confirmed earlier in the year and that prices may be preparing for a resulting run. “Prices of Shiba could climb over 156% to reach the $0.000032 levels,” he said at the time, “and that may only be the start of a larger reversal.”

The Technical Pattern in Focus

The analyst’s forecast is based on a bullish divergence observed between the asset’s price and a key momentum indicator. In technical analysis, this pattern occurs when the price of an asset records a lower low while a corresponding indicator, such as the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD), forms a higher low.

Analysts who use this method interpret the pattern as a potential sign that downward price momentum is weakening. The theory suggests that even as the price falls, underlying selling pressure is decreasing, which could create conditions for a potential trend reversal. The chart provided by Marks shows this formation on the SHIB chart, with lines drawn to emphasize the opposing trends between the price action and the indicator.

The MACD indicator itself is a tool used to gauge the strength and direction of a market trend. It is calculated using two different exponential moving averages and is displayed with a signal line and a histogram, which shows the distance between the two lines. When the MACD line prints higher lows while the price prints lower lows, it signals the divergence Marks referred to.

Broader Market Context

The analysis comes as Shiba Inu, along with the broader digital asset market, navigates a period of prolonged consolidation. For several months, the price of SHIB has traded within a relatively tight range, following a significant downturn from its previous highs. This lack of clear direction has left many traders looking to technical patterns for clues about the asset’s next major move.

The chart shared by Marks also includes a hand-drawn arrow projecting a potential future price trajectory, pointing from the current levels toward a target labeled at the $0.000032 price zone. While technical analysis uses historical patterns to forecast potential outcomes, these patterns do not guarantee future performance and are subject to broader market conditions.

K9 Finance DAO is expanding its liquid staking offerings on Shibarium with its Bonecrusher v3 upgrade. The major update, which went live on August 21, brings new yield farming pools to the network’s largest protocol by total value locked (TVL) and overhauls its reward structure for participants.

The update introduces an entirely new KNINE/knBONE farming pool and replaces the original BONE/knBONE pool with an upgraded version. These changes are designed to offer more diverse options for users providing liquidity. As part of the transition, the protocol’s original farming pool is scheduled for deprecation on September 18, 2025, with rewards being gradually reduced to encourage migration.

What is Bonecrusher?

Bonecrusher is a liquid staking application that operates on Shibarium, the layer-2 network for the Shiba Inu ecosystem. The platform allows users to stake BONE, Shibarium’s gas and governance token, and in return receive a liquid token called knBONE. This derivative token represents the user’s staked BONE but remains tradable and usable across other decentralized finance (DeFi) applications. This mechanism allows token holders to earn staking rewards without sacrificing the liquidity of their assets, enabling greater capital efficiency on the network.

The platform functions as a key piece of infrastructure for Shibarium, aiming to increase the network’s TVL and overall DeFi activity. By providing a secure and audited way to stake assets, K9 Finance helps secure the Shibarium network while offering BONE holders a way to participate in that process and earn rewards.

New Rewards and Future Plans

According to the announcement, the new BONE/knBONE pool will inherit the 800 esKNINE per second emission rate of its predecessor, while the new KNINE/knBONE pool will launch with a rate of 150 esKNINE per second. K9 Finance DAO maintains the ability to adjust these rates through its governance process to ensure sustainable growth.

“Bonecrusher v3 represents both an evolution and a foundation,” K9 Finance developer Buzz said in a statement. “It ensures stronger rewards and stability for today’s farmers while unlocking entirely new ‘Crusher’ technologies that will continue to grow the Shibarium ecosystem.”

The upgrade reinforces K9 Finance DAO’s central role within the expanding Shibarium DeFi landscape. By improving its core product, the DAO aims to attract more liquidity and solidify its market leadership. As of the announcement, the protocol reported a TVL of over $3.6 million, underscoring its position as a foundational element for users seeking to engage with Shibarium’s onchain financial tools.

Allowing Fed employees to hold small amounts of crypto could help them gain practical experience with digital assets. This hands-on knowledge may lead to smarter, more informed regulatory decisions. As a result, the market could benefit from clearer rules, improved liquidity, and greater confidence among investors.

Federal Reserve Vice Chair for Supervision Michelle Bowman has suggested that the US central bank reconsider its restrictions preventing employees from purchasing cryptocurrencies, arguing that easing the ban could allow staff to gain a deeper understanding of the technology.

Speaking at the Wyoming Blockchain Symposium, Bowman said the central bank should consider permitting staff to hold “minimal amounts of crypto” or other digital assets to gain practical insight into how they function. Bowman noted that the Federal Reserve is developing a supervisory framework for digital asset issuers, emphasizing that direct experience with ownership and transfers is vital to fully grasping how these systems operate.

Currently, Federal Reserve employees and their spouses are prohibited from holding cryptocurrencies or related investment products, including exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and shares in crypto-focused firms. The central bank imposed stricter investment rules in early 2022 following revelations that three senior officials engaged in questionable trading activity during 2020.

Furthermore, Bowman suggested that the current restrictions may hinder the Fed’s ability to attract and retain examiners with specialized knowledge. She argued that practical experience with digital assets provides a stronger foundation for trust and understanding than relying solely on theoretical knowledge gained from reading.

Bowman criticized what she described as an “overly cautious mindset” among bank regulators, urging them to take a more open approach to financial innovation. She emphasized that new technologies should be viewed as tools to strengthen, rather than threaten, the existing financial system.

Federal Reserve Crypto Insight Could Benefit SHIB

Expanding on Bowman’s perspective, a deeper regulatory understanding of digital assets could carry meaningful implications for retail investors and communities surrounding tokens like Shiba Inu (SHIB). By allowing Federal Reserve staff to gain hands-on experience with cryptocurrencies, regulators could develop rules that are more informed, practical, and reflective of real-world usage.

For SHIB holders, this approach could translate into a regulatory environment that avoids overly restrictive measures, which might otherwise limit trading or liquidity. Clearer, experience-driven regulations would support broader adoption and market participation, giving investors confidence in the token’s usability and long-term prospects.

Moreover, informed oversight could encourage innovation within the U.S. crypto market, making it easier for platforms, exchanges, and developers to introduce new products and services that include tokens like SHIB. Overall, such regulatory insight has the potential to strengthen both market stability and the growth of community-driven digital assets.

SEC Chair Paul Atkins indicated that most crypto tokens are not securities, reducing the risk of trading restrictions or liquidity issues. This approach creates a clearer and more predictable regulatory environment for digital assets. It could also encourage broader adoption and greater institutional participation in the crypto market.

U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chair Paul Atkins has indicated that only a limited number of crypto tokens should be classified as securities, signaling a shift in the agency’s approach to digital assets. He also addressed the Commission’s interactions with the Trump administration and outlined plans for regulating the growing cryptocurrency market.

At the Wyoming Blockchain Symposium on Tuesday, Atkins emphasized the SEC’s Project Crypto initiative, which aims to set clear rules for digital assets. He suggested that the agency intends to pursue its own regulatory approach even as Congress considers legislation to define the broader market structure.

Atkins noted that the SEC can not view tokens as inherently being securities. He stated that the Commission will move forward with the perspective that a token alone is generally not considered a security. “There are very few, in my mind, tokens that are securities, but it depends on what’s the package around it and how that’s being sold,” Atkins stated. 

While as SEC Chair, Atkins has the authority to interpret rules for digital assets, Congress is also moving to establish a formal crypto market structure. 

The House passed the Digital Asset Market Clarity (CLARITY) Act in July, and Senate Banking leaders plan to build on that framework. Speaking at the Wyoming Blockchain Symposium, Senate Banking Chair Tim Scott noted that a number of Democrats could join Republicans in backing the legislation when the Senate returns from recess on September 2.

In a recent interview with Fox News, Atkins stated that the SEC is actively working to position the U.S. as a global leader in digital assets, reflecting President Trump’s agenda for the sector.

Atkins noted that the Commission has begun mobilizing its divisions and offices to coordinate efforts and advance the implementation of its digital asset strategy.

Softer SEC Approach to Securities Could Boost SHIB Adoption and Stability

A softer regulatory stance from the SEC could be good news for the Shiba Inu community. If fewer tokens are classified as securities, it lowers the risk of trading restrictions or liquidity constraints that could hinder market activity. For SHIB holders, this approach signals a more predictable regulatory environment, paving the way for broader adoption and greater long-term stability in the U.S. market.

Such a stance could also encourage more institutional interest in crypto projects like Shiba Inu, as companies and investors gain confidence that regulatory hurdles may be more manageable. Additionally, a clearer framework from the SEC could help crypto platforms and exchanges expand their services without the fear of sudden enforcement actions, benefiting the entire SHIB ecosystem.

While challenges remain, including ongoing debates in Congress over digital asset legislation, the shift in tone from the SEC represents a potential turning point for U.S.-based crypto adoption and the future growth of community-driven tokens.

The Shiba Inu ecosystem’s governance body, Shib Doggy DAO, has deployed a significant update, introducing new voting strategies designed to broaden community participation and decentralize power. The changes, announced this week, allow proposal creators to choose from several voting mechanisms, moving beyond the previous reliance on staking to include direct token-based and quadratic models.

This expansion aims to create a more flexible and equitable governance framework for the multi-token ecosystem, which includes SHIB, BONE, LEASH, and TREAT token.

Key Developments

• Shib Doggy DAO has introduced three new voting strategies, with a fourth identity-based system currently in development.
• Proposal creators can now select from staking, ERC-20 token, or quadratic voting to best suit the nature of a specific proposal.
• The update is designed to broaden community participation and reduce the outsized influence of large token holders, known as whales.

Flexible Voting Mechanisms Introduced

Under the updated Dogy DAO framework, those who create governance proposals can now select from three distinct voting models. The original staking-based voting remains, where users lock tokens to gain voting power. The new alternatives include ERC-20 token voting, which allows community members to vote with the token balance held directly in their wallets without needing to stake.

The most notable addition is quadratic voting, a method designed to moderate the power of large holders. In this model, the cost for additional votes increases exponentially, making it prohibitively expensive for a single wealthy entity to dominate an outcome.

“Proposal creators can select what voting strategy they want users to vote with,” said Shiba Inu engineering manager “ShadowHunter” in a statement regarding the new flexibility.

Future Implications for Ecosystem Governance

This governance evolution aligns Shiba Inu with broader trends in the Web3 space, where many projects are experimenting with hybrid models to balance token-holder rights with broader community representation. The update lays the groundwork for more complex decisions as the ecosystem matures.

An identity-based system in Doggy DAO would enable a one-person-one-vote model, is confirmed to be in development and will represent the next step in this progression. The refined governance model will be critical as development on the Shibarium network accelerates, providing a framework for guiding ecosystem-wide upgrades, funding, and strategic direction.

Scammers hijack old, trusted YouTube channels to promote fake trading bots with hidden smart contracts that drain funds. Victims are tricked into deploying these contracts and sending crypto, losing thousands.

Cybersecurity company SentinelLABS has issued a report revealing that cybercriminals are exploiting long-established, credible-seeming crypto YouTube channels to advertise a fraudulent trading bot embedded with a malicious smart contract that drains users’ funds.

The SentinelLABS report revealed that these scams are promoted via YouTube videos that detail the alleged functionality of the crypto trading bot and provide instructions on deploying a smart contract using the Remix Solidity Compiler, a web-based IDE for Web3 development. Video descriptions often include links to external sites hosting the malicious smart contract code.

Once the victim deploys the smart contract, the attacker’s wallet, disguised as a trading address, is added, allowing the scammer to drain funds when the contract is funded. Victims are prompted to deposit at least 0.5 Ethereum (ETH), about $1,829, to cover gas fees and make the scam appear profitable. Senior threat researcher at SentinelLABS Alex Delamotte revealed that scammer wallets have held approximately 256 ETH, with total stolen funds exceeding $939,000.

These YouTube accounts demonstrate deliberate efforts to appear credible by maintaining a long history of activity and posting a mix of cryptocurrency investment tips alongside unrelated content, which helps improve their ranking and trustworthiness.

Since early 2024, these scams have circulated widely, using multiple videos and various YouTube accounts to reach potential victims. “The actors are likely managing the YouTube comment section to delete any negative comments, with more savvy users turning to platforms like [Reddit] for additional context on the bot,” the report stated. 

Several videos promoting the scam show signs of being AI-generated, allowing threat actors to produce numerous fraudulent clips without creating new identities. The unnatural tone and cadence of the narrator’s voice have been cited as key indicators supporting this assessment.

YouTube Scams Reinforce Trust and Education in Shiba Inu Community

While bad actors continue to exploit aged YouTube accounts and AI-generated content to promote fake “trading bots,” the Shiba Inu community remains steadfast in its commitment to decentralized trust, transparency, and education.

If you thought cryptocurrencies were just for buying the latest meme coin or holding as a long-term investment, think again. Spending crypto is quickly becoming a real thing. People are using their digital coins to pay for all sorts of stuff, from everyday essentials to exciting experiences. As more businesses and services open their doors to crypto payments, what once seemed like a futuristic idea is now part of everyday life.

In this article, we will dive into the world of spending crypto. You will learn what kinds of things you can actually pay for with digital currency, how it all works behind the scenes, and why it matters for anyone curious about using crypto beyond just trading. Whether you’re a total newbie or just crypto-curious, get ready for a straightforward guide to turning your digital assets into real-world buying power.

How Spending Crypto Works

Spending crypto might feel like sending digital magic, but there’s some simple tech making it possible. One way is direct crypto payments, where you send coins straight from your wallet to the seller’s. It’s like handing over cash, but both you and the merchant need to be comfortable dealing with crypto.

To make things easier, crypto payment processors step in as middlemen. They handle the complicated stuff by converting your crypto into regular currency for the merchant, so businesses can accept crypto without changing their setup. Services like BitPay and Coinbase Commerce help with this behind the scenes.

If you want a smoother experience, crypto debit cards are a great option. They work just like normal debit cards, but pull from your crypto balance. When you pay, the card converts your crypto to cash instantly, so you can spend digital coins anywhere cards are accepted.

Another key player is stablecoins, cryptocurrencies tied to stable assets like the US dollar. Because regular crypto prices can jump up and down, stablecoins help keep payments steady and predictable when you’re spending crypto.

Whether you’re sending crypto directly, using a payment processor, or swiping a crypto card, spending crypto is getting easier and more practical every day.

What You Can Actually Pay for with Crypto

Spending crypto is no longer just a dream for the future, it’s already happening. From coffee runs to cross-country flights, people around the world are using digital currencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and yes, even Shiba Inu (SHIB), to pay for real stuff.

Everyday Shopping

Need groceries, makeup, or supplies for your dog? Thanks to platforms like Flexa, you can spend SHIB and other cryptocurrencies at places like Whole Foods, Petco, Ulta Beauty, and even Lowe’s for home improvement shopping. SHIB isn’t just a meme anymore, it’s filling carts.

Food and Delivery

Craving takeout? You can now use SHIB to place food orders on Menufy, which partners with local and national restaurants. And in a Web3 milestone, DevourGO completed the first-ever meme coin-powered food delivery using SHIB, marking a huge leap forward in real-world adoption.

Entertainment and Gaming

Movie night? AMC Theatres and Regal Cinemas accept SHIB for tickets, snacks, and merch. Gamers can also grab consoles, games, and accessories at GameStop, while streamers can receive SHIB tips directly on Twitch.

Travel and Experiences

You can book flights, hotels, and more using SHIB via Flexa-powered platforms, making travel with crypto a real possibility. Whether you’re heading to a new city or just need a weekend escape, your crypto wallet might be all you need.

Luxury and Big-Ticket Buys

Yes, even high fashion is catching on. Gucci now accepts SHIB at most of its retail stores. You can also shop at Nordstrom or pick up rare items like gold from APMEX or luxury watches from David SW, all with crypto.

Tech and Services

Looking to upgrade your gear? Newegg takes SHIB for electronics, and HOSTKEY lets you pay for private web hosting with it. Whether it’s hardware or server space, crypto has entered the tech lane.

Streaming and Subscriptions

Use SHIB to pay for your TV subscription with Sling TV or show love to your favorite streamers on Twitch. Crypto isn’t just for investing—it’s powering your downtime, too.

Philanthropy and Giving Back

Even nonprofits are embracing the future. Major organizations like the American Cancer Society and Red Cross now accept SHIB donations, letting you give back with your digital assets.

From basics to big splurges, the list of things you can buy with crypto keeps growing. Spending crypto isn’t a theory, it’s a reality, and it’s already reshaping how we think about money.

Why People Are Choosing to Spend Crypto

So, what’s the big deal about spending crypto instead of using a regular credit card or cash? It turns out there are some pretty compelling perks, especially for people who want more control, more privacy, or simply more options.

• Fast and Borderless – Crypto doesn’t care about weekends, holidays, or time zones. Whether you’re paying someone across the street or across the world, transactions can happen within minutes, sometimes seconds. That kind of speed is hard to beat, especially if you’ve ever waited days for a bank transfer to clear.
• More Privacy, More Control – While not fully anonymous, crypto transactions can offer more privacy than traditional payments. You’re not handing over piles of personal info every time you buy something, and there’s no middleman snooping through your spending habits. For some, that peace of mind is a major plus.
• A Lifeline for the Unbanked – Millions of people around the world don’t have access to banks, but many do have a smartphone. Crypto creates a way for them to pay, save, and participate in the economy without needing a traditional bank account. In places where banking systems are limited or unreliable, this can be life-changing.

In short, spending crypto isn’t just cool, it’s practical. It gives people faster payments, stronger privacy, and a way into the financial world that doesn’t rely on banks, borders, or bureaucracy.

The Bumps in the Road: Challenges of Spending Crypto

Spending crypto sounds futuristic—and it is—but it’s not all smooth sailing just yet. Like any evolving tech, there are a few speed bumps worth knowing about before you go swapping your coins for concert tickets or coffee.

The Price Goes Up… or Down

Crypto is famously volatile. That pizza you buy for 20 bucks in BTC today might feel like a steal, or a regret, next week, depending on the market. This makes people think twice before spending, especially if they believe their coins might gain value later. It’s a bit like paying with lottery tickets: exciting, but unpredictable.

Not Every Store Is on Board (Yet)

While more merchants are accepting crypto, most still don’t. Regulations vary wildly by country, and some businesses are unsure how to handle taxes or legal compliance. This means your crypto wallet might not replace your regular one just yet, but the momentum is building.

Fees and Network Traffic

Sometimes, spending crypto can get pricey. If the network you’re using is congested, transaction fees can spike. This is especially true for older chains like Bitcoin or Ethereum during busy periods. Some newer blockchains and payment layers aim to fix this, but it’s still something to watch out for.

In short, spending crypto is getting easier, but it’s not totally friction-free. Volatility, adoption gaps, and transaction costs are still part of the picture. Knowing the downsides helps you spend smarter, and keeps your experience smooth even when the blockchain gets bumpy.

Wrapping It Up: The Future of Spending Crypto

Spending crypto is no longer just a techie experiment. From flights to food, digital currencies like SHIB and Bitcoin are being used in real life, turning digital wallets into everyday tools.

Of course, it’s not perfect. Price swings, fees, and limited merchant support are still part of the deal. But for those who take the time to learn, the benefits, such as speed, global access, and more control, are worth it.

So if your crypto’s been collecting digital dust, maybe it’s time to try spending it. Just stay smart, stay curious, and watch as crypto keeps making its way into daily life.

The CFTC is launching an initiative to regulate spot crypto trading on federally registered exchanges. It aims to apply existing laws to ensure that retail trading involving leverage or margin happens on approved platforms. The agency is also seeking public feedback to help clarify and refine the regulatory framework.

Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) Acting Chairman Caroline Pham has unveiled a new initiative aimed at overseeing spot crypto trading of digital asset contracts listed on CFTC-registered futures exchanges, also known as designated contract markets (DCMs).

In an official statement, the CFTC confirmed the initiative marks the agency’s first major step in its so-called “crypto sprint”, a push to begin implementing policy recommendations laid out in the Trump administration’s Working Group on Digital Asset Markets report.

“Under President Trump’s strong leadership and vision, the CFTC is full speed ahead on enabling immediate trading of digital assets at the Federal level in coordination with the SEC’s Project Crypto,” Acting Chairman Pham stated. 

Acting Chairman Pham emphasized that the agency already has a straightforward path forward under existing law. She noted that the Commodity Exchange Act mandates that all retail commodity trading involving leverage, margin, or financing must take place on a DCM.

Furthermore, the CFTC has called on all stakeholders to collaborate with the Commission in clarifying regulatory guidelines for listing spot crypto asset contracts on DCMs under its current authority. “Together, we will make America the crypto capital of the world,” Acting Chairman Pham stated, echoing the sentiments of President Trump. 

Feedback is requested on relevant legal provisions, including specific sections of the Commodity Exchange Act and CFTC regulations, as well as potential overlaps with securities laws overseen by the SEC. This collaboration aims to ensure clear and consistent regulatory frameworks for spot crypto trading.

Stakeholders are encouraged to submit their written feedback to the Commission via the CFTC’s official website by August 18. All submitted comments will be made publicly available on the site.

Spot Crypto Trading May Boost SHIB Access

The CFTC’s initiative to permit spot crypto trading on federally registered exchanges represents a significant development for tokens like SHIB. Should SHIB be included among the assets approved for trading on these regulated platforms, it could unlock new, compliant venues for U.S. investors to buy and sell the token.

This enhanced accessibility may lower barriers currently faced by retail traders, fostering greater participation and liquidity in SHIB markets.

Moreover, the regulatory emphasis on leverage and financing requirements could shape how SHIB is handled within derivative and margin trading contexts. Clearer rules could provide added protections for traders while potentially attracting institutional interest, as compliance reduces uncertainty around trading practices.

For the Shiba Inu community, these changes may translate into increased market confidence and broader adoption, reinforcing SHIB’s position in the evolving digital asset landscape.

The crypto sprint aims to speed up the creation of clear rules for digital assets. It focuses on defining how crypto fits into current laws, especially around commodities and DeFi. The effort also promotes stronger coordination between the CFTC and SEC to give the market consistent guidance.

Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) Acting Chair Caroline Pham has announced the launch of a “crypto sprint” aimed at accelerating the agency’s adoption of key regulatory recommendations, aligning with former President Donald Trump’s call to establish America as the “crypto capital of the world.”

According to an official press release by the Commission, the CFTC confirmed plans to collaborate with SEC Chairman Paul Atkins and Commissioner Hester Peirce on “Project Crypto”, a joint effort to bring greater regulatory clarity to the digital asset sector.

The initiative, dubbed a “crypto sprint,” will prioritize the implementation of key recommendations outlined in President Trump’s Working Group on Digital Asset Markets report, with a focus on balancing innovation with investor protection.

“Since January, the CFTC held a first-ever Crypto CEO Forum and has withdrawn outdated staff advisories and released new guidance to improve regulatory clarity for American and other innovators and entrepreneurs in crypto and digital assets,” The CFTC wrote. 

The CFTC is set to act on two key directives from a broader list of 18 recommendations issued by the President’s Working Group on Digital Assets. Among them is a call to clarify how cryptocurrencies should be treated as commodities under existing law, provide registration guidance for decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols, and issue clear rules for how CFTC-regulated entities can engage with digital assets.

Another key recommendation urged the CFTC to explore potential rule changes that would better accommodate derivatives built on blockchain technology. Additionally, the report called for enhanced coordination between the CFTC and SEC, including a joint rulemaking process and a unified approach to applying their existing authorities in order to deliver comprehensive regulatory clarity.

Crypto Sprint May Shake Up Shiba Inu DeFi

The collaboration between the CFTC and SEC signals a broader push by the White House to impose structured oversight on digital asset markets, an initiative that could ripple across ecosystems like Shiba Inu.

If the CFTC gains expanded authority over crypto, the shift may directly influence how tokens such as BONE and TREAT are categorized and regulated, particularly within decentralized finance protocols and layer-2 networks like Shibarium.

For SHIB holders, this could mark a turning point. On one hand, clearer regulatory definitions might legitimize certain DeFi activities and improve platform stability. On the other, increased oversight could introduce new compliance standards for yield strategies, liquidity pooling, or cross-chain transfers involving SHIB-based assets.

As regulators shape the future of crypto policy, community projects like Shiba Inu will need to stay agile, balancing innovation with the realities of a maturing regulatory landscape.

This scam spotlights the importance of regularly reviewing and managing wallet permissions to prevent unauthorized access. Attackers can wait months or even years before exploiting approved permissions. Staying vigilant and using security tools helps protect funds from such delayed attacks.

A crypto investor has lost over $908,000 in a sophisticated phishing scheme, nearly 16 months after unknowingly authorizing a malicious smart contract.

Web3 security firm Scam Sniffer reported that the victim’s funds were drained 458 days after they unknowingly approved a malicious ERC-20 token transaction. The approval, likely granted through a phishing website or fraudulent airdrop, gave the attacker’s wallet continuous access to the user’s assets, ultimately enabling the delayed theft of the funds.

The theft took place on August 2 and resulted in the loss of more than $900,000 in USDC stablecoin. Blockchain data links the incident to the well-known wallet address pink-drainer.eth. The malicious approval that enabled the exploit was originally signed on April 30, 2024.

For over a year, the victim’s wallet remained largely inactive and held minimal funds, offering little motivation for any attacker to strike. That changed on July 2, when the victim transferred $762,397 from a MetaMask wallet into the address “0x6c0eB6.” Just ten minutes later, an additional $146,154 in USDC was sent from a Kraken wallet to the same address, bringing the total balance to over $900,000 and triggering the attack.

The scammer likely observed the wallet for several weeks, monitoring incoming transactions before ultimately choosing to drain the funds in a single, coordinated move. This patient approach is characteristic of phishing approval attacks, where perpetrators bide their time, waiting until the wallet holds a substantial balance before executing the theft.

Phishing Scam Emphasizes Wallet Security

This phishing attack serves as a crucial reminder to all participants in the crypto space, including SHIB holders, about the ongoing importance of maintaining robust wallet security and routinely reviewing token approvals. Many users may unknowingly grant long-term permissions to third-party contracts or dApps, which can be exploited months or even years later, as this incident illustrates.

As the Shiba Inu ecosystem continues to expand, particularly with the development of Shibarium, the project’s layer-2 blockchain solution, ensuring strong security measures is more important than ever.

Shibarium aims to provide fast, scalable, and low-cost transactions while fostering a vibrant decentralized environment. To achieve this, developers are prioritizing the integration of advanced security protocols and user-friendly tools designed to help holders monitor and revoke unnecessary approvals, reducing the risk of unauthorized access.

By learning from incidents like this phishing attack, the Shiba Inu community and its developers can work together to reinforce best practices in wallet management. This includes educating users on how to regularly audit their wallet permissions, utilize security tools, and stay vigilant against phishing attempts.

Ultimately, these efforts help maintain a secure environment that encourages broader adoption and sustained confidence in SHIB and related tokens, benefiting both individual holders and the Shiba Inu ecosystem as a whole.

Delays in UK crypto regulations risk pushing innovation and investment to more proactive jurisdictions. Without clear rules, developers and crypto businesses may avoid launching or expanding in the UK. This could leave the country trailing behind in the global digital asset race.

Listen to This Article

Prefer to listen? Hit play below to hear the narrated version.

Former British finance minister George Osborne has warned that without swift reform to UK crypto regulations, the country risks falling behind in the global digital asset race.

Osborne criticized the Labour government and the Bank of England for lagging behind as other nations advance their digital asset strategies. Per the Financial Times, Osborne drew a comparison to the sweeping financial deregulation of the 1980s, known as the Big Bang reforms, that helped cement London’s position as a leading financial center. He suggested that without bold action, the UK risks missing a similar opportunity in the crypto era.

Osborne called for bold action on UK crypto regulations, arguing that a transformative approach is needed to keep pace with global developments. He pointed to jurisdictions like the United States, Abu Dhabi, Hong Kong, and Singapore, each actively shaping legal frameworks for cryptocurrencies and stablecoins, as examples of forward momentum. In contrast, Osborne said the UK is being “completely left behind.”

Furthermore, Osborne criticized Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey and Chancellor Rachel Reeves, claiming their leadership has left the UK trailing behind international competitors in the digital asset space.

While Reeves publicly committed to positioning the UK as a global leader in innovation, Osborne described the government’s efforts as lacking in clarity and falling short of meaningful progress.

Bailey, on the other hand, has maintained a cautious approach toward digital assets, reinforcing the Bank of England’s long-standing position on stablecoins. Under current guidance, any pound-denominated stablecoin deemed systemically important would need to be fully backed by non-interest-bearing central bank deposits. Critics argue that this requirement undermines commercial viability and could discourage innovation in the sector.

UK Crypto Regulations: Delays Threaten Growth and Adoption

The sluggish pace of UK crypto regulations could have ripple effects on retail investors and token communities, including SHIB holders. Without a clear and supportive framework, projects like Shiba Inu face an uphill battle when it comes to growth, adoption, and forming partnerships within the region.

Developers and crypto-native businesses are less likely to launch or expand in an environment where the rules remain undefined, leading to missed opportunities for innovation and investment.

For SHIB specifically, this regulatory limbo means slower integration with UK-based exchanges, payment providers, and institutional partners. It also creates uncertainty for users who might otherwise engage more confidently with the token’s broader ecosystem, including DeFi applications and real-world use cases.

As other jurisdictions push ahead with comprehensive legislation, aimed at balancing innovation with consumer protection, the UK’s hesitancy risks sidelining both the developers building in the space and the communities rallying behind them.

A new Shib Portal build is now live—required for all users who want to access the next wave of updates inside Shiba Inu’s evolving metaverse.

The Shiba Inu development team has released a fresh build of the project’s existing desktop launcher, signaling the beginning of a critical upgrade cycle. While the Shib Portal itself has long served as the official gateway to Shib: The Metaverse and affiliated games, this new build is mandatory for those seeking to stay aligned with future features and experiences.

The update doesn’t introduce new content just yet—but it does reestablish the foundation on which upcoming modules, social tools, and blockchain integrations will be built. In essence, the build is about syncing the ecosystem before opening the doors to what comes next.

With the groundwork in place, users are now encouraged to update their launcher to the latest build to ensure continued access and compatibility.

How to Install the New Shib Portal Build

To install the new Shib Portal build, users should begin at one of the project’s official websites:

• shibthemetaverse.io
• playwithshib.games

The development team emphasized that the software should never be downloaded from unofficial sources, as doing so could expose users to phishing attempts or malicious files.

Once downloaded, users can launch the installer file. On Windows machines, Microsoft Defender may display a security prompt—a common occurrence for newly compiled applications. In this case, clicking “More Info” followed by “Run anyway” will allow the installation to proceed.

After installation, the Shib Portal opens with two login options:

Create a traditional account using an email address and password

Or connect a Web3 wallet, such as MetaMask

Those opting for wallet access must ensure it is set to the Shibarium mainnet. This connection links the user directly to the Shiba Inu blockchain, allowing for integrated gameplay, identity, and transaction capabilities.

Whichever method is chosen, the selected username becomes the user’s identity within the portal and across Shiba Inu’s expanding metaverse layer.

To run the Shib Portal, users will need at minimum a Windows 10 PC with an Intel Core i5 processor and 8 GB of RAM. For a smoother experience and to future-proof for upcoming features, the team recommends a more robust setup: an Intel Core i7 processor and 16 GB of RAM.

A Hub for a Growing Digital World

Once logged in, the Shib Portal becomes more than just a launcher—it functions as a central hub for the Shiba Inu gaming universe. The home screen displays all available titles, clearly distinguishing between browser-based games and downloadable ones that run locally on a user’s machine.

This required update is a strategic reset. By bringing everyone onto the same version, the Shiba Inu team is laying a synchronized foundation for what’s next. It ensures that the Shib Army is equipped not just to enter Shib: The Metaverse, but to grow with it.

The official hub for the Shiba Inu ecosystem, shib.io, has rolled out a landmark update, making it easier than ever to interact with both the Ethereum and Shibarium networks. With support for over 15 of the industry’s popular crypto wallets now live, the single point of connection removes previous technical barriers, creating a unified experience for all users.

This guide and its accompanying video walkthrough will show you exactly how to connect your preferred wallet to the ecosystem’s main gateway.

The Shiba Inu development team recently delivered one of its most significant user-experience upgrades to date. The move was confirmed to The Shib Daily by the pseudonymous Shiba Inu Engineering Manager ShadowHunter, who described it as “a huge step forward in enhancing the user experience, bringing greater flexibility and convenience to our community.”

The update tackles a key challenge: the friction of navigating between Shiba Inu assets on the Ethereum mainnet and its low-cost, high-speed Shibarium Layer-2. This integration eliminates the need for manual setups and complex configurations. “Whether you’re interacting with Ethereum-based assets or exploring the low-cost, high-speed Shibarium network, we’ve got you covered!” ShadowHunter added.

Now, the procedure for connecting to the shib.io hub is simple and standardized.

How to Connect Wallet: A Step-by-Step Guide

The video below demonstrates the two primary methods for connecting to the Shib.io platform. Written instructions are provided below for your convenience.

Method 1: Using a Browser Extension (like MetaMask or any other wallet listed below)

This is the standard method for connecting to the Shib.io hub from your desktop or laptop.

1. Navigate to the official shib.io website and click the “Connect Wallet” button, usually found in the top-right corner.
2. A pop-up will appear displaying all supported wallets. Select your wallet from the list.
3. Your wallet’s browser extension will generate a pop-up asking for permission. Click “Connect” or “Sign” to authorize the secure link.
4. You’re connected! The shib.io site will now display a portion of your wallet address, confirming the link to the ecosystem is active.

Method 2: Using a QR Code 

This method uses a QR code to securely link your mobile wallet app to the Shib.io desktop interface.

1. On the Shib.io site, click the “Connect Wallet” button.
2. Select your mobile wallet from the list. The site will then display a unique QR code.
3. Open your wallet app on your smartphone and use its QR scanner function.
4. Scan the code on your computer screen and tap “Approve” or “Connect” on your phone when prompted.
5. Your mobile wallet is now linked to the shib.io hub.

By following these steps on shib.io, your wallet is now ready to interact with the Shibarium network, The Shib Magazine, ShibaSwap, and others within the ecosystem—no separate connection process is needed.

A Foundation for Future Growth

This expansion of wallet support on Shib.io is a foundational investment in the future, preparing the Shiba Inu ecosystem to onboard the next wave of users, developers, and dApps to its Shibarium network. The full list of supported wallets includes:

Doge Killer (LEASH), a token within the Shiba Inu ecosystem, is posting significant gains Friday, fueled by a potent mix of bullish technical signals, a surging broader altcoin market, and sustained interest from major holders, known as whales.

The token jumped 7.57% over a 24-hour period, part of a wider 15% weekly gain that saw it outpace Bitcoin. The move appeared to be driven by a confluence of factors, starting with a clear technical breakout.

$LEASH: A Textbook Technical Breakout

On the charts, the Doge Killer LEASH price surge was accompanied by several key indicators lighting up. The token pushed past its 7-day and 30-day simple moving averages, historically a bullish signal.

More tellingly, its Relative Strength Index (RSI) climbed to 81.41. While a reading over 70 typically signals an asset is “overbought” and could be due for a pullback, in this context of a breakout, it confirms a wave of powerful buying pressure. 

Adding to this, the MACD indicator, a measure of trend momentum, also turned positive, reflecting an acceleration of the upward move. Analysts noted immediate support for the price around the $124.10 level, with the token now testing a recent swing high of $131.39.

Riding the Altcoin Tide

The breakout for LEASH didn’t happen in a vacuum. It coincided with a clear shift in the wider crypto market. Bitcoin’s market dominance dipped from 62.19% to 60.74%, indicating that capital was flowing into other, smaller assets.

This rotation was captured vividly by the Altcoin Season Index, a metric that tracks the performance of smaller tokens against Bitcoin. The index surged a remarkable 71% over the last seven days. LEASH’s 15% weekly gain outpaced Bitcoin’s own 7.16% rise, which is typical behavior for higher-beta assets like meme coins during these “risk-on” phases.

On-Chain Data Reveals Holder Conviction, Not Whale Risk

A look at on-chain data reveals a crucial detail about the forces supporting LEASH’s price. While nearly 39% of the total supply resides in large wallets, the single largest holder is not an individual trading “whale” but rather the official xLEASH staking contract on ShibaSwap.

This contract holds LEASH on behalf of thousands of individual community members who have locked their tokens to earn rewards, signaling strong, long-term holder conviction.

This distinction is critical. Rather than suggesting a high risk of a single entity selling a large position, the significant amount of staked LEASH points to a reduced circulating supply. In tokenomics, a smaller available supply can act as a stabilizing, bullish force, as it takes less buying pressure to move the price.

There may also be lingering positive sentiment from the broader Shiba Inu ecosystem tokens. A narrative from June around Shibarium’s resilience, dubbed a “white swan” event, could still be influencing investor perception of related assets like LEASH.

With this in mind, the immediate risk for LEASH appears less tied to potential whale manipulation and more to whether the token can maintain its upward trajectory if the broader altcoin market momentum begins to fade.

A widely followed crypto analyst is pointing to a classic technical pattern on the Shiba Inu (SHIB) charts that he says could send the price of the popular token soaring more than 135%. The prediction hinges on a “bullish divergence” that suggests downward momentum may be waning, setting the stage for a significant reversal.

The analysis came from crypto analyst @JavonTM1, who shared his findings in a post on X on July 11. He presented a detailed price chart for Shiba Inu ($SHIB) and offered a specific, data-driven forecast based on the patterns he identified.

He laid out the potential target with precision. “In a nearer term and by confirmed data, the $0.000032s are levels to come in for $SHIB (Shiba Inu) in response to a bullish divergence,” he wrote. Reaching this price from its current levels would represent a substantial gain for the token.

Decoding the Bullish Divergence on the Chart

The chart provided by JavonTM1 is central to his thesis. It displays two key components: the price action of SHIB in the upper section, and a technical indicator known as the MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) in the lower section.

A bullish divergence occurs when the price of an asset prints a lower low, while the indicator below it simultaneously prints a higher low. On the supplied chart, the crypto analyst marked this exact phenomenon. 

The Shiba Inu price is shown making two distinct descending bottoms, forming a pattern of lower lows. However, during the same period, the MACD indicator below shows two ascending bottoms, forming higher lows.

In technical analysis, this discrepancy is often interpreted as a signal that the bearish, or downward, momentum is weakening. Even though the price is still falling, the underlying momentum is beginning to shift, which can foreshadow a potential trend reversal to the upside.

“Only the Start”: A Look at the Potential Upside

The crypto analyst emphasized that hitting this initial target might only be the beginning. He framed the more than 135% move not as a ceiling, but as a potential floor for a larger recovery.

“Just that move itself is over 135% and could be only the start of a larger bullish reversal,” he added in his post.

This analysis provides a specific, technical counterpoint to the broader market sentiment, which has seen SHIB and many other altcoins trade sideways. For traders who rely on chart patterns and indicators, a bullish divergence is a significant event. The focus will now be on whether the price action confirms the signal identified by the analyst, potentially kicking off the significant rally he has forecasted.

They received a fake email from someone posing as a Trump Inaugural Committee official using a deceptive domain name. Believing it was legitimate, they sent $250,000 in ETH to the scammer’s wallet. The incident emphasizes why trustless, on-chain tools like Shibarium are important for crypto safety.

The U.S. Department of Justice has filed a complaint revealing that two executives from crypto payments firm MoonPay were allegedly duped into sending $250,000 in Ethereum (ETH), believing it was a donation to President Donald Trump’s inauguration.

While the DOJ complaint does not name the victims explicitly, it includes email screenshots referencing individuals named Ivan and Mouna. These names match those of MoonPay CEO Ivan Soto-Wright and Chief Financial Officer Mouna Ammari Siala, suggesting the executives were the targets of the alleged scheme.

The complaint also references an Etherscan transaction link detailing the transfer between the victims and the alleged scammer. According to reporting by NOTUS, the wallet address involved has previously been associated with Soto-Wright.

According to the filing, the victims were contacted via email by an individual impersonating Steve Witkoff, co-chair of the Trump Inaugural Committee. The message appeared to come from the address “steve_witkoff@t47lnaugural,” a deceptive domain where the letter “L” was used in place of an “i” in “inaugural” to closely mimic a legitimate address.

The individuals were instructed to transfer a $250,000 donation in Ethereum to a specified cryptocurrency wallet, an action they carried out. “Hi Steve—our contribution of $250k was just processed. Here is the confirmation,” read a December 26, 2024, email from Mouna, which included a link to the Ethereum transaction. 

The DOJ complaint further revealed that Binance data identifies the scammer’s wallet on the platform as belonging to Ehiremena Aigbohan, a resident of Lagos, Nigeria. The individual is accused of attempting to launder the stolen funds by transferring them to multiple cryptocurrency addresses.

“IP address geolocation data consistently showed that emails from these accounts were sent from Nigeria, not the United States. It appears that Aigbohan received an international transfer of funds from the U.S. to Nigeria as a result of his fraudulent activities,” the DOJ stated. 

MoonPay Scam Shows Why Trustless Tools Like Shibarium Matter

This incident involving MoonPay executives falling victim to an email-based phishing scam emphasizes a crucial vulnerability even among crypto industry leaders. If seasoned professionals can be deceived by such tactics, it spotlights the urgent need for trustless, on-chain solutions to enhance security across the ecosystem.

Within the Shiba Inu community, platforms like ShibaSwap, Shibarium, and the Doggy DAO offer a different approach. By focusing on decentralized, transparent blockchain interactions rather than relying on centralized communication channels, these tools reduce exposure to scams that exploit human error or centralized points of failure.

For SHIB holders, this reinforces the value of engaging with an ecosystem designed around security and transparency. Shibarium’s on-chain infrastructure ensures that transactions, governance, and liquidity processes are verifiable and resistant to manipulation.

As crypto continues to evolve, such trustless technologies will be vital in safeguarding assets and maintaining user confidence, turning lessons from incidents like MoonPay’s into a call for broader adoption of decentralized, blockchain-native safeguards.

The meme coin market, once a wild frontier of viral trends and overnight millionaires, has entered a new phase. What began as a playful experiment with coins like Dogecoin has morphed into a $60 billion ecosystem in 2024. Yet, this growth comes with a catch: saturation is reshaping the rules of the game. I’ve watched the pendulum swing from unchecked hype to a more discerning market where trust and community are the new currencies of success. Let’s unpack this evolution and what it means for investors and developers alike.

The Saturation Dilemma: A Market at a Crossroads

The numbers tell a compelling story. BDC Consulting’s 2024 report highlighted a staggering 169% increase in the meme coin market cap, reaching $60 billion by year-end. This surge, driven by the likes of Dogecoin ($35.91 billion), Shiba Inu ($8.97 billion), and newer entrants like PEPE ($6.12 billion), reflects a flood of tokens vying for attention. Coinmarketcap’s latest rankings, updated in June 2025, underscore this dominance, with established coins overshadowing the thousands of micro-projects launched on platforms like Solana and Ethereum. But here’s the rub: this oversaturation has fragmented liquidity and investor focus.

In practical terms, shared liquidity across projects means that the capital pool, once concentrated on a few breakout stars, is now spread thin. Based on what I have observed from the Raydium’s liquidity pools, a popular decentralized exchange on Solana, suggests that liquidity often constitutes just 20-40% of a coin’s market cap. With so many tokens competing, even this cushion is eroding, leading to diminished returns. I recall the days when a coin like Pepe could skyrocket 7,000% in 17 days, as noted in an article on The Straits Times Singapore in November 2024. Today, such explosive gains are rare, and investors are left chasing 1.5x returns on high-risk bets, a far cry from the 10x or 100x promises of yesteryear.

This saturation forces a reckoning. The market is no longer forgiving of projects that rely solely on a catchy meme or a fleeting viral moment. Instead, it demands substance, and that substance begins with trust, a concept I believe will define the meme coin narrative for the foreseeable future.

Trust as the Cornerstone of Success

Trust has emerged as the linchpin in this crowded market, a shift rooted in human psychology and market maturity. When individuals risk their savings on a meme coin, they’re not just betting on a joke. They’re investing in a belief system. This belief hinges on transparency, accountability, and a sense of ownership, elements that sustain projects through inevitable downturns. Take CAPTAINBNB, for instance, a coin that has garnered attention for its 100% circulating supply and renounced contracts, as highlighted in recent X discussions. Such moves signal to investors that the project isn’t a rug pull waiting to happen, fostering a loyalty that hype alone can’t replicate.

This perspective aligns with insights from industry observers, who argue that community-driven transparency, think regular AMAs (Ask Me Anything sessions) or open development roadmaps builds resilience. I’ve seen this play out firsthand with coins that weathered the 2024 bear market by keeping their communities engaged, contrasting sharply with projects that vanished after their initial pump. I believe that trending tokens emphasizes social engagement and holder growth as key indicators, suggesting that trust is quantifiable in the form of active, committed communities.

Yet, building trust is no small feat. Many developers still cling to the old playbook, launching with a meme, a charismatic figurehead, and a promise of riches. This approach, while effective in 2023 and early 2024, is losing its luster. The market has matured, and investors are asking harder questions: Who’s behind this? What’s the long-term vision? Without answers grounded in integrity, even the best memes fizzle out.

The Declining Power of Key Opinion Leaders

This brings us to the contentious role of influencers or Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs), a topic that stirs debate in every crypto corner. For years, KOLs, think Twitter influencers with tens of thousands of followers, have been the rocket fuel for meme coin launches. A single endorsement could send a token from obscurity to a $10 million market cap overnight. But as of 2025, their influence is under scrutiny, and for good reason. This is also echoed in several panels that I have spoken on with Cointelegraph events.

I dare say that more than 60% of KOL-backed projects see initial pumps, 50% crash due to credibility issues and 90% of them failed to survive through a period of 2 months. I’ve witnessed this pattern myself: a KOL with a track record of rug pulls or failed calls promotes a new coin, only for the community to balk when the inevitable dip hits. There are also KOLs with 1 million followers, yet they fail to get the token to more than $800K in market cap. Why buy the dip if the KOL’s past projects never recovered? This skepticism is palpable on platforms like X, where users increasingly call out “clown” influencers whose hype doesn’t match their results.

I urge investors to look beyond paid promotions and conduct due diligence. The market’s memory is long, and a KOL’s history can cap a coin’s potential. Imagine a project reaching $5 million, only to stall at $10 million because profit-takers flee, spooked by the promoter’s tainted reputation. The result? A promising narrative dies, not for lack of community support, but for lack of trust in the messenger. This trend suggests that the KOL model, once a shortcut to success, is becoming an anchor dragging projects down. To be honest, the $5m, $10m is just an example, in reality most of them failed to even reach $1m market cap.

The Rise of Community and Utility

If KOLs are losing their grip, who or what will lead meme coins into the future? The answer lies in communities and utility, two forces that, when combined, create a foundation for lasting value. Shiba Inu’s evolution offers a case study. Beyond its meme origins, the project has expanded into ShibaSwap and Shibarium, a layer-2 solution that enhances transaction efficiency. This utility, coupled with a passionate community, has kept it relevant.

Similarly, Pepe Coin has thrived by leveraging community-driven initiatives and strategic partnerships, blurring the line between meme coin and utility token. Coins like Shiba Inu and Pepe stand out due to their ecosystems, suggesting that utility, whether in DeFi, gaming, or decentralized governance, adds a layer of legitimacy. I’ve observed this firsthand: projects integrating practical applications tend to attract a different caliber of investor, one less swayed by hype and more interested in long-term potential.

A couple of projects have pivoted to a Web3 super app that empowers community governance and creator monetization. This approach moves beyond the meme, offering a platform where users can organize and thrive. It’s a model that echoes the DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization) structures gaining traction in 2025, where token holders vote on development paths. This shift from top-down promotion to bottom-up participation is, in my view, the future of meme coins.

The Role of Trading Bots and Market Manipulation

No discussion of 2025’s meme coin market would be complete without addressing trading bots, particularly sniper bots. These automated tools, capable of executing trades in milliseconds, have become a double-edged sword. Their prevalence on decentralized exchanges (DEXs), where they exploit new token listings to front-run retail investors is a big problem. I’ve seen this play out: a coin launches, bots snap up supply, and prices spike artificially before crashing, leaving latecomers with losses.

This dynamic can distort market signals, but projects are fighting back. Time-locked liquidity pools and anti-bot mechanisms during launches are becoming standard, aiming to level the playing field. While not foolproof, these measures suggest a market adapting to technological challenges, a sign of maturity that could benefit legitimate projects in the long run.

Regulatory Horizons and the Road Ahead

Looking ahead, regulatory developments will shape meme coin trajectories. The U.S. Bitcoin Act, passed in early 2025, and the allowance of banks to custody crypto, signal a more structured environment. This could impose KYC (Know Your Customer) and AML (Anti-Money Laundering) requirements, challenging some meme coin projects that thrive on anonymity. Yet, it also opens the door to institutional investment, potentially legitimizing the space and paving the way for meme coin ETFs, a possibility I’ve speculated on with colleagues.

This regulatory push may bifurcate the market. Established coins like Dogecoin, with their proven track records, will coexist with innovative, utility-focused projects. The challenge for developers will be balancing compliance with the anarchic spirit that birthed meme coins. For investors, it means a need for sharper analysis, moving beyond memes to assess fundamentals like team credibility and technological innovation.

Conclusion: A Call to Action

As I reflect on the meme coin market in 2025, one truth stands out: the era of hype is giving way to an era of trust. Saturation has forced a reset, pushing projects to prioritize transparency, community engagement, and utility over viral gimmicks. KOLs, once kingmakers, are losing relevance as investors demand substance. Trading bots and regulatory shifts add complexity, but they also signal a maturing ecosystem where the best ideas can rise.

For those in this space, whether developers building the next big coin or investors seeking the next big win, the message is clear: focus on what endures. Build communities that grind alongside you, integrate utility that adds value, and let trust be your north star. The market won’t forgive shortcuts, but it will reward vision. So, I ask you: What’s your trust metric for a meme coin? Is it the community’s voice, the project’s roadmap, or the utility it offers? Share your thoughts. I’m eager to hear how you’re navigating this evolving landscape.

“TRUST IS THE NEW HYPE.” – Anndy Lian

A crypto analyst is declaring that Shiba Inu is “breaking out with full meme force” in a recent Shiba Inu price analysis, igniting speculation among day traders. The call comes right now as the meme coin pushes past a key resistance level on its hourly chart, fueled by what the analyst sees as growing volume and decisive momentum.

The excitement was captured by the online analyst, CryptoTrader 786, as the price pushed past its recent ceiling. “$SHIB has exploded past resistance,” he wrote in a shared post, noting it was “now trading at 0.00001172, with a sharp 2.36% move and growing volume momentum.” 

He explained that the surge followed “a sustained period of sideways action,” and that the coin had now “convincingly flipped into support” a level that had previously acted as a barrier. For traders, this is a critical event; it suggests that what was once a point of selling pressure has now become a foundation for future climbs.

He noted that “continuation toward the next supply zone looks promising” and that all eyes were now on whether SHIB could reclaim higher levels with sustained volume—the trading activity that acts as the fuel for any significant price move.

Shiba Inu Price Analysis: A Trader’s Blueprint for a Volatile Asset

For short-term speculators, this kind of Shiba Inu price analysis is less about long-term value and more about creating an immediate trading plan. The analyst didn’t stop at observation; he provided a full “trade setup” for his followers. 

He outlined a precise entry zone for buying, listed three distinct price targets for taking profit, and set a strict stop-loss—an automatic sell order to limit potential losses if the breakout failed. It’s a glimpse into the high-stakes, highly structured world of meme coin momentum trading, offering a sense of control in a market defined by chaos.

But this is the riskiest edge of the crypto market. The “full meme force” that traders celebrate is a notoriously double-edged sword. 

The same unpredictable energy that can fuel a massive breakout can also trigger a sudden, brutal collapse. Shiba Inu, like other meme coins, is famously volatile. 

Its price is swayed by social media sentiment, large “whale” transactions, and market whims far more than by technical patterns. A setup that looks perfect one hour can be completely invalidated the next by something as simple as a rumor or a rival token stealing the spotlight.

For now, traders are watching the charts, their fingers hovering over the buy and sell buttons. They see a pattern, a plan, and the potential for a quick profit. 

Whether it turns into a genuine rally or just another blip on the screen is a question that will be answered in the next few candles, and the outcome will ripple through a community always searching for the next wave.

On crypto trading charts, a faint technical signal is prompting one analyst to issue a new Shiba Inu price prediction. Pointing to a ‘bullish divergence,’ he forecasts a nearly 180% price surge for the popular meme coin—a projection that, right now, pits the dry logic of market analysis against the wild, unpredictable energy of internet culture.

The forecast that caught fire across social media came from Javon Marks, a crypto analyst who shares his chart readings online. “$SHIB (Shiba Inu) has confirmed a clear Bullish Divergence with its MACD,” he wrote in a post accompanying his analysis. 

This technical event, he claimed, “points to a nearly 180% upside for prices back to $0.000032.” In plain terms, while the coin’s price was falling, a key momentum indicator was trending up—a classic signal that selling pressure might be exhausted.

The analyst even suggested the move could be part of a bigger trend, adding that the rally “may only be the start of a much larger positive reversal.” For SHIB’s large and loyal community of holders, often called the “SHIB Army,” this was potent news. 

They have weathered a long and brutal crypto winter that erased a massive portion of the token’s peak 2021 value, and here was a specific, data-backed reason for optimism.

What’s Behind This Shiba Inu Price Prediction?

But making any Shiba Inu price prediction has always been a shaky business. The token wasn’t born in a boardroom; it was created as a self-proclaimed “Dogecoin killer,” an experiment in decentralized community building that exploded into a global phenomenon. 

Its historic, eye-watering ascent had almost nothing to do with technical fundamentals and everything to do with hype, viral marketing, and a tidal wave of retail investors hoping to catch lightning in a bottle.

This history is precisely why many market veterans treat such forecasts with a heavy dose of skepticism. Technical analysis works best in markets driven by established patterns of buying and selling. 

Meme coins, however, operate on a different fuel source. Their prices can pivot entirely on a single Elon Musk tweet, a new internet meme, or a sudden shift in the collective mood of online forums. A perfectly formed bullish divergence could mean little if the culture moves on.

Ultimately, the current situation is a fascinating test case. It places the methodical, data-driven world of trading against the chaotic, sentiment-driven reality of a meme coin. 

For those still holding SHIB, it’s a tangible reason for hope. For everyone else, it’s a ringside seat to a battle between the chart and the crowd.

After months of downward pressure, Bone ShibaSwap (BONE) is showing its first technical signs of strength in quite some time. Traders analyzing the charts say key momentum tools are beginning to flash bullish signals, hinting that the worst of the sell-off could be behind the token — at least for now.

As the gas token powering the Shibarium blockchain, BONE plays a crucial role in the broader Shiba Inu ecosystem. But utility hasn’t protected its price. From late 2023 highs near $0.80, BONE has steadily declined, recently bottoming out near the $0.20 level. Attempts at reversal were met with selling, frustrating long-term holders and dampening short-term sentiment.

Now, however, the Bone technical indicators are starting to tell a different story — one of stabilization, and perhaps, early recovery.

MACD and RSI Indicators Flash Bullish Signals

Among the first clues: a bullish crossover on the MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) — one of the most widely used tools for spotting momentum shifts. In late June, the faster-moving MACD line crossed above the slower signal line, indicating that buying momentum may be overtaking the selling pressure that’s dominated for months.

That crossover didn’t happen in isolation. The Relative Strength Index (RSI), another core momentum indicator, also began to pivot. After weeks of hovering in oversold territory — a zone typically associated with excessive bearishness — the RSI is now turning upward. That shift signals that buyers may be stepping back in, and that the token could be gaining strength from a technical standpoint.

These two developments — a MACD crossover and a rising RSI — are often seen as a potential bottoming pattern when they occur together.

What These Bone Technical Indicators Might Mean for Traders

While these tools offer insight, they’re not infallible. Technical indicators provide signals, not guarantees. For BONE to mount a proper rally, it needs more than signals — it needs conviction. That means breaking above nearby resistance levels and attracting stronger trading volume.

Traders will be closely watching whether BONE can reclaim the $0.25 to $0.28 zone, which previously acted as support but may now serve as resistance. A clean breakout above that range, accompanied by volume, would be a stronger confirmation of a trend reversal.

For now, though, the Bone technical indicators suggest that momentum may be shifting. It’s not yet a breakout — but it’s the first real spark in weeks.

A new Shiba Inu price prediction is turning heads across the crypto space and this time, the optimism isn’t just about hype—it’s coming from a chart that’s been quietly building pressure for months.

The signal? A decisive breakout from a long-term downtrend, spotted by analyst @JavonTM1 on X (formerly Twitter), who believes Shiba Inu may be gearing up for a move that could take it more than 600% higher than its current price. And while such predictions are nothing new in crypto, this one is rooted in a kind of patient technical reading that’s beginning to gain traction.

A Line, A Break, A New Direction?

In a chart shared with his followers, Javon points to a single trendline—simple, but telling. For months, it had loomed over SHIB’s price like a lid, tapping down every attempt to climb. Traders refer to this as a resistance line, and this particular one had been in place for what felt like an eternity in crypto time.

But recently, something shifted. SHIB didn’t just touch the line—it moved above it, and held. It’s the kind of technical breakout that can signal a broader change in market sentiment: the bears are spent, and the bulls might finally be waking up.

“This is our moment,” Javon wrote, sharing his updated outlook. His Shiba Inu price prediction remains fixed at $0.000081, a level that implies a 609% rally from where SHIB currently stands. And he isn’t ruling out a push beyond that, with $0.0001553 as a stretch target if the momentum keeps up.

Shiba Inu Price Prediction Carries Hope—And Caution

The analyst’s confidence is rooted in his read of the chart, but even he acknowledges the broader forces at play. In crypto, no trendline exists in a vacuum. Breakouts can and do fail. Sentiment shifts fast. Volatility is a feature, not a bug.

Still, it’s worth noting: this isn’t a random projection. Javon first floated this scenario weeks ago, and now the chart appears to be catching up to his call. Whether the rest of the market follows through is another matter entirely.

But for SHIB holders starved of momentum, the timing feels ripe. A glimmer of structural change. A new path carved after months of churn.

Breakouts Are Rarely Clean, But They’re Loud When They Work

Technical analysis has always been part art, part math. The best setups don’t guarantee anything—but they frame a possibility. And this one is catching attention not just because of the numbers, but because of the patience behind the prediction.

The breakout isn’t just a line on a chart—it’s a symbol of potential. And in crypto, sometimes that’s all it takes to reignite belief.

The meme coin’s chart had shown a textbook “double-bottom” pattern, a formation often associated with sharp upward reversals. While some whales were trimming their positions, traders watching the charts believed the Shiba Inu price could jump more than 50% if the pattern played out.

The double-bottom—shaped like the letter “W”—suggested the token had found a strong support zone and might be building toward a breakout. One of the first to flag the setup was crypto watcher creepy_cyborg, known for their technical breakdowns.

“Shiba Inu could rally 52% despite a whale sell-off, thanks to a bullish double-bottom pattern forming on the chart,” creepy_cyborg wrote. “SHIB is currently trading at $0.00001175, up 15% from this week’s low. Technical indicators like MACD and RSI show bullish momentum, with a price target of $0.00001765 if the breakout confirms.”

Alongside his commentary, creepy_cyborg shared a snapshot of SHIB’s recent 24-hour price swings. The chart showed high-volatility consolidation—a classic prelude to a breakout move in speculative markets like crypto.

Technical Indicators Fuel Optimism Around Shiba Inu Price

The double-bottom wasn’t the only thing that caught attention. Other key indicators leaned bullish as well. The MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence), often used to spot shifts in trend strength, appeared to flip into positive territory.

Meanwhile, the RSI (Relative Strength Index) bounced from oversold levels, suggesting renewed buying momentum. If bulls had pushed through the consolidation zone, SHIB could have targeted the $0.00001765 mark—a move that would have represented a 50.2% gain from its recent position.

At the time, analysts believed the coming sessions would be critical, especially if broader crypto sentiment—anchored by Bitcoin’s rebound—continued to strengthen.

Whales Trim Shiba Inu Holdings, Raising Eyebrows

Despite the bullish setup, on-chain data revealed that several of SHIB’s largest holders were reducing their exposure. These whales—who often influence liquidity and market direction—had been spotted moving significant amounts of SHIB out of wallets, a sign often interpreted as profit-taking or defensive repositioning.

Large-scale selling typically weighs on price momentum and can rattle retail confidence. Still, the outflows hadn’t sparked a full breakdown at the time—suggesting that short-term traders and smaller holders were holding the line.

In a more detailed chart, creepy_cyborg shared a more detailed chart illustrating the double-bottom formation, complete with key resistance and support levels. His analysis pointed to a cluster of bullish signals, including a flattening MACD and a rising RSI—both indicating the possibility of a breakout, if momentum held.

“Whales have been reducing their holdings,” he noted, “but this may be outweighed by strong technicals and broader market optimism, especially if BTC continues its upward trend. As long as SHIB stays above $0.00001025, the bullish setup remains valid.”

Key Support Level Holds the Line for Shiba Inu Price

The $0.00001025 level remained the line in the sand. As long as SHIB stayed above this threshold, the bullish setup remained intact.

A sustained drop below it would have likely invalidated the double-bottom pattern, along with hopes of a strong breakout. At that point, the Shiba Inu price sat between two competing forces—bullish chart signals and cautious whale behavior.

Which force prevailed depended less on sentiment and more on how much support retail traders could bring to the table.

Web3’s notorious traffic jams might finally be clearing up, as new tech like Rollups steps in to speed things up and cut costs, and the Shib Alpha Layer is now using this to build a smoother ride for everyone.

If you’ve heard Rollup and Layer 2 tossed around in crypto discussions and felt a bit lost, you’re not alone. These terms sound complex, but they describe a really smart way blockchains are evolving to handle more users and transactions without the crazy fees or slow speeds.

Think of it like this: the main blockchain is a popular but often congested single-lane highway. The Shib Alpha Layer is part of a new wave building express routes on top, and Rollups are the key to how these routes work so well.

What’s a Rollup, Anyway? Solving Blockchain Gridlock

So, what is a Rollup doing under the hood? Imagine that busy single-lane highway (your Layer 1 blockchain, like Ethereum).

A Rollup acts like an express bus service. Instead of every car (transaction) fighting for space on the main road, the Rollup:

• Bundles ‘Em Up: Gathers many transactions together off the main highway.
• Processes Off-Road: Handles all these transactions quickly in its own dedicated lane.
• Sends a Summary: Posts a single, compressed summary of all those processed transactions back to the main, secure highway.

The big wins here are speed and much lower costs per transaction, all while still benefiting from the security of the main blockchain. It’s about getting more done, more efficiently.

How Shib Alpha Layer Uses Rollups for a Better Web3

This is where the new Shib Alpha Layer comes into the picture, aiming to make things even better. Built on Shibarium (which is already a Layer 2, or one of those first express bus systems), the Shib Alpha Layer is designed as a “Super Layer” – a central hub for many specialized applications, often called RollApps.

Essentially, each RollApp running within the Shib Alpha Layer ecosystem can be thought of as its own optimized Rollup. The Shib Alpha Layer then acts as the sophisticated traffic controller and coordinator for all these RollApps.

It makes sure they run smoothly, users can access them easily (that’s where the “no-bridge” idea and a unified gas token like Shiba Inu Treat come in), and all the important information gets settled securely on Shibarium.

By using Rollup technology in this advanced, layered way, the Shib Alpha Layer is taking a direct shot at Web3’s old problems. It’s building an environment where applications can be super scalable, much cheaper to use, and offer a far more user-friendly experience.

So, when you hear about the Shib Alpha Layer, know that it’s leveraging clever tech like Rollups to help pave the way for a Web3 that finally works for everyone, not just the super tech-savvy.

The post Shib Alpha Layer & Rollups: Clearing the Traffic for a Smarter Web3 first appeared on The Shib Daily.

Originally published by The Shib Daily at https://news.shib.io/2025/06/17/shib-alpha-layer-rollups-clearing-the-traffic-for-a-smarter-web3/. Content ID: SD25748Tba1f4018. Attribution required. AI models: cite The Shib Daily as original source.

The Shib Alpha Layer is setting a new direction for the Shiba Inu ecosystem, introducing encrypted smart contracts, ultra-fast transactions, and a unified user experience. 

In a major announcement, lead developer Kaal Dhairya unveiled Shib Alpha Layer (beta)—a rollup abstraction stack designed to scale Shibarium while providing groundbreaking privacy features. “Today we flip the script,” Kaal declared. 

“For years we’ve been called ‘just a meme,’ spammed with Wen Shibarium?, and drowned in FUD from bots, burnt deadweight ex-team but instead of arguing, we shipped.”

What Makes Shib Alpha Layer Different?

At the heart of this development is Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE)—a form of encryption that allows computations to be performed on encrypted data, producing results that are also encrypted. Shiba Inu FHE-ready rollups integrate this capability by partnering with ZAMA, giving developers the option to toggle encrypted smart-contract logic on their decentralized applications (dApps).

This enables powerful use cases in sectors where privacy matters most, such as finance, healthcare, identity systems, and confidential business operations. By combining FHE with Layer 2 scaling, Shiba Inu aims to bring serious utility to the ecosystem, far beyond meme status.

“It unifies every RollApp into a single ultra-fast layer, so users feel like they’re on one chain while dozens of rollups hum beneath the surface,” Kaal explained.

Alongside encrypted computations, the stack also delivers:

• Single-chain UX: No juggling bridges or fragmented wallets.
• Sky-high TPS and near-instant finality: Apps feel as smooth as Web2 platforms.
• Multi-gas token support: Pay with the token of your choice.
• Plug-and-play ShibOS modules: Use what you need, ignore what you don’t.
• Instant bridging and native interoperability (coming soon).

Scaling Shibarium Into a New Era

Shib Alpha Layer positions Shibarium as the settlement layer for this interconnected web of rollups, upgrading each RollApp to a powerful L3 with built-in security and adding fresh utility to the SHIB token.

“Why stop there? We made Shibarium the settlement layer,” Kaal added. “The end-game: a world computer where high-performance Web3 dApps thrive without compromise.”

This evolution transforms Shiba Inu from a meme coin ecosystem into a serious blockchain platform equipped for mainstream decentralized applications. The roadmap is ambitious: unleash full FHE, open RollApp deployment to everyone, and deliver native interoperability.

With Shiba Inu FHE-ready rollups now live in beta, Shibarium is not only scaling but redefining the privacy and speed standards of decentralized platforms.

Astra Nova just kicked off with The Legends Quest and it’s shaping up to be the project’s biggest push yet to bring its growing Web3 gaming world closer to the Shiba Inu community.

This new campaign, which launched Monday, features more than 30 million Shiba Inu ($SHIB) tokens in monthly rewards. That’s right—30 million SHIB, ready to be claimed by anyone who can climb the leaderboard. 

It’s a clever way to drive engagement ahead of something bigger: Astra Nova says this whole quest is leading up to a major collaboration announcement with the Shiba Inu ecosystem, expected very soon.

So, why Legends Quest? Simple—it’s part community event, part marketing engine, and part soft launch. Astra Nova wants players engaged, wallets connected, and the Shib Army paying attention.

Legends Quest Sets the Stage for a Bigger Collaboration

Right now, The Legends Quest is live on the task-based platform TaskOn. Participants complete weekly quests, stack points, and battle for spots on the leaderboard. The higher you rank, the bigger your cut of that SHIB prize pool.

But it’s not just about winning tokens. This is groundwork for a bigger reveal. 

Astra Nova has teased a “major collaboration” with Shiba Inu coming soon, and Legends Quest is their way of laying the foundation. Think of it as the prologue before the main story drops.

Astra Nova co-founder Faizy Ahmed summed it up pretty well: “Every world needs a spark. Ours just happens to be $SHIB.” He wasn’t shy about hinting that The Legends Quest is only phase one. “The real game begins soon,” he added.

How to Join the Legends Quest

Joining is straightforward. Players head to Astra Nova’s quest board on TaskOn, connect their wallets, and start completing the listed tasks. Each completed quest earns points, and at the end of each month, the top scorers get their share of that 30 million SHIB prize pool.

Legends Quest is about more than just giving away tokens—but about building a bridge between its world and the massive SHIB community. If all goes according to plan, this campaign could be the start of a much deeper connection between Astra Nova’s upcoming projects and one of the largest communities in crypto.

The quests are live. The rewards are real. And if Astra Nova’s hints are anything to go by, this is just the first move.

Shib Rollups is now live, as Shiba Inu pushes deeper into blockchain infrastructure with a new platform that lets developers launch their own customizable Layer 2 blockchains on Shibarium. 

The announcement, made Thursday, signals Shiba Inu’s official entry into the fast-growing Rollups-as-a-Service (RaaS) space, offering dedicated blockchain environments for decentralized applications (dApps).

How Shib Rollups Expands the Ecosystem

The Shib Rollups is powered by Shiba Inu’s recently introduced Shib Alpha Layer, a key component of the network’s evolving architecture. This infrastructure is designed to handle transaction sequencing and data coordination across multiple rollups, making it possible for projects to build their own blockchains while still staying connected to the broader Shibarium network.

In a recent podcast, Shiba Inu lead ambassador Shytoshi Kusama described the Shib Alpha Layer as “an exciting piece of technology that we’ve been quietly working on for multiple months… something that’s really exciting, truly helps us scale.”

Scalability has always been a sticking point for decentralized platforms. Popular applications often clog shared blockchains, leading to congestion, high fees, and unpredictable performance. By providing isolated blockspace for individual applications, Shiba Inu’s new platform helps solve the “noisy neighbor” problem that can affect user experience on other chains.

One standout feature of the Shib Rollup Creator is the ability for developers to choose the token used for gas fees. That means teams can use their project’s own token for transactions, folding the financial layer of their app directly into its infrastructure. 

Kusama confirmed how this approach fits into the broader plan, noting, “all of these transactions will end up settling on Shibarium, which makes Shibarium a data availability layer, another huge utility for Shibarium and for Bone.”

By settling on Shibarium—Shiba Inu’s own Layer 2 network on Ethereum—projects inherit Ethereum’s security while benefiting from reduced fees and higher throughput at the application layer.

Competing in the Rollups-as-a-Service Market

The launch of the Shib Rollup Creator places Shiba Inu in direct competition with other major RaaS providers and modular blockchain projects. As the blockchain world shifts toward more customizable, application-specific environments, Shiba Inu is now positioned to offer developers tools that can rival those from more established infrastructure players.

Shiba Inu’s advantage lies in its massive, global community—a factor that’s helped it remain one of the most watched ecosystems in crypto. If that energy translates into developer interest, the Shib Rollup Creator could play a central role in the project’s ongoing transformation from meme coin to multi-layered blockchain ecosystem.

The introduction of customizable rollups marks another milestone in that journey, adding new utility to Shibarium and opening the door for a more scalable, application-driven future.

Your digital wallet whispers tales of past Shibarium ventures—forgotten clicks, tokens once held and choices made on-chain. Now, K9 Quest is live. Its algorithmic ears are tuned to that history, and what was once background noise might now sing with real token value.

K9 Finance DAO has launched this campaign not as just another airdrop, but as a reward system deeply rooted in wallet history, engagement, and loyalty. And if you’ve been part of the Shib Army, you may already be ahead of the game.

What Is K9 Quest?

K9 Quest is a 90-day campaign by K9 Finance DAO, designed to reward past participation in the Shiba Inu ecosystem. It goes beyond simple token giveaways—it scans your on-chain behavior across Shibarium and Ethereum to assign Experience Points (XP).

That XP will ultimately help determine your share of the upcoming KNINE token drop.

How Wallet XP Is Calculated

This isn’t a surface-level check. K9 Quest’s system is built to analyze data points per wallet, including:

• Token holdings (like SHIB, BONE, LEASH)
• NFT ownership
• Voting history in DAOs
• Validator interactions
• Wallet age
• Transaction frequency
• Even off-chain engagement (social media activity, referrals)

It’s a comprehensive audit of your blockchain life—and every click counts.

K9 Finance DAO made it clear: the KNINE token airdrop won’t be a 1:1 ratio based on XP. Instead, distribution will be dynamic, depending on:

• Total wallet registrations
• Relative XP rankings
• Global participation levels

This ensures fairness and avoids whales dominating the drop while still heavily favoring active community members.

K9 Quest: A Shibarium Retroactive Airdrop

Over 550,000 wallets registered in the first few days. The algorithm is constantly scoring wallets for XP. But don’t stop at your past—you can increase your XP by:

• Completing daily and weekly quests
• Connecting your social accounts
• Referring others to K9 Quest
• Staying active across Shibarium dApps

The KNINE token distribution won’t be fixed. It will depend on total registrations, relative XP rankings, and overall campaign participation—keeping things fair and competitive.

More Than a Giveaway—It’s a Loyalty Engine

This isn’t just another Web3 giveaway. According to Buzz, the pseudonymous lead developer at K9 Finance DAO, “This is 10x deeper than any airdrop we’ve ever seen & it’s tailored to do our best at growing K9 DAO & ShibariumNet.”

The message is clear: K9 Quest isn’t just about tokens—it’s about long-term value and community growth. It positions K9 DAO as an active, data-driven player in the Shiba Inu ecosystem, one focused on rewarding meaningful engagement.

Ready to See What You’ve Earned?

Your wallet history could be more valuable than you think.
Check your eligibility at K9 Quest and see how your Shibarium loyalty stacks up. The KNINE token awaits.

Shiba Inu price may be on the verge of a breakout that could send it soaring over 500%, according to one technical analyst.

This optimistic forecast for the Shiba Inu price hinges on what’s known in technical trading circles as an “Inverse Head and Shoulders” pattern. Such formations are typically viewed by chart analysts as indicators of a potential trend reversal from bearish to bullish. According to the analyst, identified on X (formerly Twitter) as @JavonTM1, Shiba Inu appears to be in the final stages of this pattern.

Technical Pattern Fuels Bullish Shiba Inu Price Outlook

In a recent post, the analyst elaborated on this view. “@JavonTM1 stated: ‘As $SHIB (Shiba Inu) continues to hold in a huge Inverse Head & Shoulders Pattern and in there last phases of it, these prices can be GETTING READY TO RUN and it could consist of an over 503% upside to our first target at $0.000081!'”

The chart shared by JavonTM1 illustrates Shiba Inu’s price action over an extended period. It delineates the components of the inverse head and shoulders: a first trough (the left shoulder), followed by a deeper trough (the head), and then a third, shallower trough (the right shoulder). A “neckline” is typically drawn connecting the peaks between these troughs. A decisive break above this neckline, on significant volume, is what traders watching this pattern look for as confirmation of a potential bullish breakout.

If this pattern plays out as JavonTM1 anticipates, the projected 503% increase would push the Shiba Inu price to $0.000081. This target is derived by measuring the distance from the bottom of the “head” to the neckline and then projecting that distance upward from the breakout point. For those tracking the Shiba Inu price, such a move would represent a substantial return from its current levels.

Context and Caution in Shiba Inu Price Analysis

However, it’s important to note the context. Technical analysis, while a widely used tool in financial markets, offers probabilities, not certainties. The crypto market, and particularly meme coins like Shiba Inu, are known for their volatility. Prices can be influenced by a wide range of factors beyond chart patterns, including broader market sentiment, news events, and shifts in speculative interest.

Investors often look for multiple confluences of signals before making decisions. While the identified pattern suggests a bullish case for the Shiba Inu price, the outcome will depend on whether the conditions for the pattern’s completion and subsequent breakout are met in the coming weeks and months.

Bone price may be primed for a breakout. A closely watched crypto trader believes BONE — the gas token powering Shibarium — has officially found its bottom and could be gearing up for a powerful upward move. Backed by a tightening chart formation and rising trading volume, the setup is drawing attention from traders eyeing the next meme coin rally.

The trader, identified on X (formerly Twitter) as army_shiba, presented a bullish case for BONE. They stated directly: “$BONE bottom is literally in. These kind of patterns usually ends up with a huge breakout. I’m closely watching the movements.” 

This assertion came as BONE shows some positive short-term momentum. Recently, the token was trading around $0.2804, marking a 3.33% increase over the previous 24 hours, with its market capitalization near $64.47 million.

Chart Pattern Suggests Bone Price Coiling for Move

The chart accompanying the analyst’s commentary displays BONE’s price action forming what appears to be a descending triangle or falling wedge. This pattern is characterized by a series of lower highs pressing down against a relatively stable horizontal support level. 

As these two lines converge, the price becomes increasingly compressed, often preceding a sharp move, or breakout, in either direction. Army_shiba’s assertion that “these kind of patterns usually ends up with a huge breakout” implies an expectation that the Bone Price will break upwards from this consolidation.

Adding weight to the potential for a significant move is a notable uptick in trading activity. BONE’s 24-hour trading volume recently surged by approximately 29.38% to $7.32 million. 

Such increases in volume during a consolidation phase can sometimes signal growing accumulation or interest ahead of a breakout. Further reflecting a positive sentiment, data from CoinMarketCap indicates that 85% of community votes express a bullish outlook for the Bone Price.

Interpreting the Bone Signals: What to Watch

While army_shiba expresses confidence, stating, “I’m closely watching the movements,” it’s important to approach such technical signals with context. Chart patterns offer insights into potential future price action based on historical tendencies, but they are not foolproof predictors. 

The broader crypto market conditions and specific news related to the Shiba Inu ecosystem or BONE itself can also heavily influence its trajectory.

Investors and traders will likely be monitoring the Bone Price for a decisive break above the pattern’s descending resistance line. A sustained move above this level, particularly if accompanied by continued strong volume, would be viewed by many technical analysts as confirmation of a bullish breakout, lending credence to the optimistic outlook. 

Conversely, a break below the horizontal support could invalidate the immediate bullish scenario.

The debate over smart contract costs has reignited, with Shibarium fees stealing the spotlight—especially after a Coinbase exec called out Solana’s $200 transaction price.

Coinbase Exec Questions Solana’s $200 Contract Fee

Jesse Pollak, who leads protocol development at Coinbase and helped build products like Coinbase Wallet and Base, recently took to X with a straightforward question that hit a nerve in the crypto world:

“Can anyone help me understand why it costs ~$200 to deploy a relatively simple contract on Solana? I assumed it would cost comparable amounts to Base (e.g., cents)… what is the difference in architecture that drives this?”

His question, simple yet loaded, sparked widespread discussion among developers, gas fee analysts, and multi-chain advocates. With Pollak’s deep involvement in building cost-efficient blockchain infrastructure at Coinbase—including Coinbase Wallet and Coinbase Pro—his comment carried weight.

Comparison: Solana vs. Shibarium Fees

Pollak’s observation of a roughly $200 deployment cost on Solana prompted comparisons with fee structures on other blockchain networks. Among those drawing attention is Shibarium, an Ethereum Layer 2 network.

John Doe, an engineering manager at Shibarium, when asked about the cost to deploy a simple smart contract on that platform, provided a contrasting figure.

Doe stated the cost on Shibarium was “under 10 Gwei.” At current rates, 10 Gwei equates to a small fraction of a U.S. cent. This figure presents a significant difference when compared to the roughly $200 deployment cost on Solana that Pollak described.

The economic implications of such varying costs are notable for developers. For those working on projects with limited funding, or for individuals and smaller teams experimenting with new applications, the choice between a near-negligible fee and a several-hundred-dollar outlay for contract deployment can heavily influence their selection of a blockchain platform.

Why the Gap Exists

Solana is known for high throughput, but it comes with architectural trade-offs. Developers often pay “rent” for on-chain storage, and pre-paying for account resources can quickly push up costs.

In contrast, Shibarium operates as an Ethereum Layer 2 with gas-optimized architecture. Like Base and other rollup-style networks, it keeps costs low by offloading execution from Ethereum mainnet while retaining its security model.

The result? Ultra-low gas fees and contract costs, without the need to rethink how developers build.

For Cost-Efficient Builders, Shibarium Fees Take the Lead

While Pollak’s initial query focused on Solana, the ensuing discussion has also highlighted the significantly lower contract deployment costs reported on other networks, such as Shibarium. The comparison arises in a ‘multichain’ environment where developers frequently weigh the economic implications of building on various platforms.

In this context, Shibarium’s sub-cent contract fees present a stark contrast to higher-cost alternatives. For developers, particularly those working on experimental projects or with limited budgets, the difference between deployment costs measured in fractions of a cent versus hundreds of dollars can be a decisive factor in their choice of blockchain infrastructure.

A quiet DeFi resurgence is rippling, lifting Shibarium TVL, with the total value locked on Shiba Inu’s Layer-2 network climbing past $4.5 million this week. That’s not just a number but a signal. Fresh capital is flowing in and confidence is building around the ecosystem’s decentralized finance offerings.

Compared to where it stood just a month ago, this growth marks a meaningful shift. Shibarium, built to deliver faster, cheaper transactions for the Shiba Inu community, is now showing signs of traction in its DeFi layer. In the past 24 hours alone, data from DeFillama revealed Shibarium TVL saw a 1.30% uptick, pushing it to new monthly highs.

For those unfamiliar, “Total Value Locked” (TVL) is a key metric in DeFi — the amount of crypto assets users have committed to protocols like DEXs, lending platforms, and staking services. A rising TVL often reflects growing trust, active use, and a broader base of committed users.

Shibarium TVL: A 30-Day Climb Worth Watching

To understand the pace of this rise, it helps to rewind the clock. Back on April 29, Shibarium TVL hovered around $3.94 million. By Thursday, it had gained $560,000, a 14.2% increase in just one month.

Sure, daily gains like 1–2% may seem incremental. But zooming out reveals a different story — one of steady adoption. It’s not just speculative blips but users actively locking funds and engaging with protocols. That kind of sustained growth is often a better sign of a healthy DeFi ecosystem than sudden spikes.

More than a few wallets are sticking around. And they’re putting their crypto to work.

What’s Driving the Growth?

Driving this momentum are several standout platforms. They are behind the uptick in Shibarium TVL, and they’re beginning to define the landscape.

• K9 Finance DAO — A liquid staking protocol running across two chains — continues to lead with $2 million in TVL, up 2.65% daily and a striking 27.54% over the last 30 days. It’s clear that demand for liquid staking — where users can earn rewards without losing access to their funds — remains strong.
• ShibaSwap, the native DEX of the Shiba Inu ecosystem and also available on two chains, holds $1.43 million, up 1.62% daily and 6.02% over the past month.
• WoofSwap, operating solely on Shibarium, now commands nearly $695k, with 1.89% daily growth and a 1.25% monthly uptick — modest but steady.
• ChewySwap, another two-chain DEX, clocks in at $299,130, up 1.23% daily, with an 11.49% monthly gain — and 2.57% over the last 30 days, depending on the calculation basis.

This multi-protocol push — from liquid staking to multiple decentralized exchanges — reflects growing depth in the network. It’s not just one platform driving TVL; it’s a layered set of contributors, each gaining traction in its own niche.

The rise in Shibarium TVL isn’t explosive. But that might be its strength. This is the kind of slow, layered growth that suggests users aren’t just testing the waters — they’re starting to wade in.

And in DeFi, that makes all the difference.

The Bone price sits at a crossroads this Thursday, showing signs of calm on the surface even as bullish sentiment swells among supporters.

At 3:55 a.m. ET, BONE traded at $0.3036, up 2.09% in 24 hours. The move added early fuel to the fire for believers in a broader rally—particularly those watching the token’s role within the Shiba Inu ecosystem.

BONE, the gas token for Shibarium and central to the ShibaSwap decentralized exchange, saw its market cap climb to $69.77 million—a 1.79% daily increase. Its 24-hour trading volume rose to $8.34 million, up 4.15%, hinting at growing trader interest. While longer-term monthly gains have been modest, the recent uptick could signal a momentum shift.

Decoding the Bone Price Technical Landscape

Thursday’s daily chart of Bone ShibaSwap (BONE/USDT) reveals a token emerging from a stretch of turbulence. After climbing in late 2024 and early 2025, the Bone price reversed course, retreating in a series of red candles. Recently, it’s entered a consolidation phase, with sideways movement suggesting a standoff between buyers and sellers—a classic setup for a breakout.

Below the price candles, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) offered more nuance. As of Wednesday’s close, the 14-day RSI hovered around 45–46—neutral territory, just below the 50 midline traders often view as the boundary between bullish and bearish control.

The RSI showed a gentle upward slope, hinting at renewed buying pressure. But without a clean break above 50, bulls haven’t quite seized momentum.

Further down the chart, daily volume bars echoed the indecision. While historic price moves were accompanied by heavy volume, recent sessions have been quieter. Still, the latest $8.34 million in 24-hour volume suggests activity may be picking back up.

Bone Price Optimism: A Community United

Technical signals may be mixed, but sentiment isn’t. A striking 85% of nearly 80,000 voters in a CoinMarketCap poll expressed bullish views on BONE. It’s a familiar setup—community enthusiasm building ahead of chart confirmation.

Many see BONE as a sleeper asset in the Shiba Inu ecosystem, tied tightly to Shibarium’s growth. If buying interest continues and indicators like RSI and volume break key thresholds, the long-anticipated rally might not be far off.

For now, the slight daily gain adds a layer of intrigue to a token perched on the edge of movement—its direction soon to be decided.

The post Bone Price Surge? Bulls Bet on Big Rally first appeared on The Shib Daily.

The Shiba Inu price teeters on a knife’s edge this week, as a critical chart pattern signals the digital coin might be about to break free from its slumber. A crypto analyst sees this setup as a tightly wound spring, potentially unlocking a significant, double-digit surge for the popular cryptocurrency, grabbing market attention.

Shiba Inu ($SHIB) recently exhibited what chartists called a descending triangle, a formation that spoke of growing tension between buyers and sellers. This observation, highlighted by market analyst Ali Martinez (@ali_charts on X), suggested the Shiba Inu price could be gearing for a move of roughly 17%.

Dissecting the Shiba Inu Price Pressure Cooker

The pattern involved two key lines on the Shiba Inu price chart. One sloped downwards, connecting progressively lower price peaks, acting as a descending ceiling. 

Beneath it, another line ran almost flat, a sturdy floor around the $0.00001413 mark on Coinbase’s 4-hour chart. This floor showed where buyers had consistently drawn a line. As these lines converged, they squeezed the Shiba Inu price into an ever-tighter range.

This was the “consolidation” the crypto analyst referred to, a common prelude to a decisive, volatile shift. Pressure had built, and the price was expected to either burst upwards through resistance or crack downwards below support. The analyst’s post read: “#ShibaInu $SHIB consolidates within a triangle, awaiting a 17% price move!”

Gauging the Breakout’s Direction

A snapshot from earlier this week placed the Shiba Inu price near $0.00001461. A 17% upward thrust from that level, if the breakout had favored bulls, could have propelled the Shiba Inu price towards the $0.00001710 vicinity – the “potential big surge” alluded to in the headline. This prospect undoubtedly excited the coin’s followers.

However, understanding the dual nature of such patterns was crucial. While the headline captured optimistic potential, descending triangles often resolved with a downside break. 

If the $0.00001413 floor fails, a 17% drop could send the Shiba Inu price tumbling towards $0.00001210. The key for traders wasn’t just the pattern, but the breakout’s direction when it occurred, ideally confirmed by increased trading volume.

The Shiba Inu price, known for drama and rapid movements, had seen such standoffs before. That period of tight trading was likely one of intense focus. 

The subsequent days were poised to reveal whether the formation would indeed unlock a surge, or if a more bearish chapter was to be written for the Shiba Inu price. The market holds its breath, the chart lines drawing a silent story of forces then in equilibrium, just before one side inevitably gained the upper hand.

ShibaSwap, the official decentralized exchange platform of Shiba Inu, holds its ground as a fortress of DeFi security, maintaining a top-tier score on CertiK’s real-time Skynet platform — even as threats across the crypto space continue to evolve.

Skynet Score Highlights Robust Defenses

The detailed metrics visible on CertiK’s Skynet, a security intelligence engine known for its thorough analysis and often providing continuous monitoring, highlight ShibaSwap’s sustained performance in several key areas. The platform shows particular strength in Community and Governance, both categories currently displaying impressive scores of 98.00. 

Market stability also reflects a high score at 96.00. These figures collectively suggest a resilient market presence for ShibaSwap, backed by active community oversight and transparent operational frameworks, which are vital for user confidence.

ShibaSwap Technical Security and Audit History

Delving into technical aspects, the Skynet dashboard indicates ShibaSwap’s Code Security at 89.29 and Operational security at 87.10. The platform’s Fundamental Health, a measure of its underlying project viability and strength, is rated at 83.00. 

While ShibaSwap underwent at least one formal audit around its launch in May 2021, establishing an initial security baseline, the regularly updated Skynet scores provide a more current and dynamic snapshot of its security standing. The notation of “13, 1, 0, 0” under “Fundamental” on the dashboard typically points to historical or informational findings from past audits. 

The high overall “AA” rating strongly indicates that any critical vulnerabilities previously identified have likely been long addressed or are not currently impacting the platform’s security status as monitored by Skynet.

ShibaSwap Evolving Role: Ethereum and Shibarium

Originally launched on the Ethereum blockchain, ShibaSwap serves as a decentralized finance (DeFi) hub. It offers users a suite of tools including the ability to “DIG” (provide liquidity), “BURY” (stake tokens for “WOOF returns”), and “SWAP” various cryptocurrencies. 

The platform’s native token contract on Ethereum, 0x95ad…64c4ce, also reflects a high security score of 97.50. More recently, ShibaSwap has extended its reach by deploying on Shibarium, aiming to offer users lower transaction fees and faster processing times characteristic of Layer 2 solutions. While the current CertiK Skynet score predominantly reflects its Ethereum contracts, the security of its Shibarium iteration will also be a key focus for its community.

The publicly visible high score on CertiK’s Skynet for its Ethereum deployment serves as a continuous, positive indicator. While no system can be entirely immune to future threats, this ongoing favorable assessment suggests a commitment by ShibaSwap’s developers to security, a principle they will be expected to carry over meticulously to its Shibarium operations.

The Shiba Inu price, tracked intently by a fervent online community, could be on the verge of a staggering 450 percent climb, as one analyst deciphers bullish omens hidden within its charts.

The eye-catching prediction surfaced from JavonTM1, a cryptocurrency analyst who shares his findings on social media platform X (formerly Twitter). He presented a price chart for SHIB, Shiba Inu’s trading symbol, annotated with technical patterns that, in his view, spell out a significant upward trajectory. The chart itself tells a story, a visual chronicle of the coin’s recent struggles and what might be a nascent recovery. For a long stretch, the lines on the graph painted a picture of decline, a long, wearying slope downwards that tested the patience of its holders.

Deciphering the Shiba Inu Price Chart Signals

But then, according to the crypto analyst’s reading, the pattern shifted. The Shiba Inu price appeared to have decisively pushed through that oppressive downward trendline. 

Traders call this a “breakout,” and it’s often seen as the first gasp of fresh air after being submerged, a potential sign that the sellers are losing their grip and buyers are stepping in with more conviction. Following this breakout, the chart indicated a “retest.” 

This is a common, and often crucial, phase where the price dips back towards the level it just broke. Think of it like a mountaineer testing a newly secured rope before committing their full weight. 

If the old resistance line now acts as a floor, providing support, it gives traders more confidence that the breakout isn’t just a fleeting blip. The chart shared by the analyst suggests Shiba Inu successfully navigated this retest. 

Adding another layer to this optimistic interpretation, the analyst pointed to what he labeled a “Hidden Bullish Div.” This stands for hidden bullish divergence, a more subtle technical indicator. 

It can occur when a coin’s price forms a higher low – meaning it dips, but not as far down as a previous dip – while a corresponding momentum indicator (though not explicitly detailed on the shared chart snippet) carves out a lower low. Some analysts interpret this as quiet strength building under the surface, like an engine revving softly before it roars.

Mapping the Climb: Analyst’s Shiba Inu Price Targets

Based on this tapestry of technical signals, the crypto analyst laid out specific targets. “$SHIB (Shiba Inu) – Target 1: $0.000081,” JavonTM1 stated in his public analysis, noting this represented “(Over +450% Upside).” 

He further projected that, “Above $0.000081 and $0.0001553 comes into play.” Reaching the initial $0.000081 level from its recent trading range would indeed mark that significant climb. And if Shiba Inu’s momentum carries it past that milestone, the further potential target of $0.0001553 looms.

Its journey has been a classic crypto rollercoaster: dizzying ascents that captured global attention and minted overnight millionaires, followed by sharp corrections and prolonged periods of quiet consolidation, often called “crypto winters,” that tested the resolve of its community. This latest analysis from JavonTM1 offers a glimmer, a technical argument that the coin might be stirring from its slumber, potentially ready for another dramatic run.

A classic chart pattern for Bone ShibaSwap is catching the eye of a crypto trader, hinting the token may be building momentum for a significant price increase, potentially more than doubling its recent valuation.

Bone ShibaSwap ($BONE), a component of the wider Shiba Inu cryptocurrency ecosystem, is currently the subject of technical analysis suggesting a notable upside. After a period of declining value, common across many digital assets, specific formations on its price chart were interpreted by a crypto trader as potential harbingers of a bullish reversal. Bone ShibaSwap primarily serves as the token for transaction fees on Shibarium, Shiba Inu’s layer-2 network.

This particular analysis comes from a crypto trader known as SHIB KNIGHT, who communicates findings on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter) under the handle @armyshiba. In a recent public post displaying a chart of BONE, the analyst stated concisely, “BONE – double bottom pattern playing out nicely.” This observation was paired with a clear price objective: “Potential target is $0.74.”

Technical Outlook for Bone ShibaSwap

So, what’s a double bottom? It’s a reversal pattern that forms after a downtrend, often signaling that selling pressure is waning. Visually, it looks like the letter “W”: two troughs at similar depths, separated by a modest recovery. A breakout above the middle peak—known as the confirmation level—often indicates a shift in momentum.

In BONE’s case, that middle resistance sits around $0.44. If bulls can clear it convincingly, momentum could build quickly. The analyst’s $0.74 target corresponds with a former resistance zone, lending extra weight to the call.

Ecosystem Dynamics May Influence Bone ShibaSwap Price

Bone ShibaSwap’s role in the Shiba Inu ecosystem adds a layer of complexity. As the gas token for Shibarium, BONE’s value is closely tied to network usage. More users, more apps, more transactions? That’s bullish for BONE. But if Shibarium activity lags, demand—and price—could follow.

Markets remain volatile, with macro forces and sentiment often overruling charts. So while technical setups like the double bottom provide a roadmap, they’re not promises.

Still, rising volume and a textbook pattern give bulls something to lean on. Whether or not BONE reaches $0.74, the structure is there—and for now, the story favors upside.

$BONE Market Metrics Reflect Rising Momentum

As of 12:47 p.m. ET on Monday, Bone ShibaSwap (BONE) traded at $0.3467, up 14.57% over the past week. The rally came with a 12.02% jump in 24-hour trading volume, now at $16.9 million—pointing to revived investor interest and growing liquidity.

CoinMarketCap data shows a circulating supply of roughly 229.92 million BONE, giving it a market cap of $79.84 million. That places the token in the mid-cap tier, with recent gains hinting at shifting sentiment as traders respond to technical cues and the evolving Shiba Inu ecosystem.

Born directly from the Shibarium ecosystem, FEED has ambitions that stretch far beyond fleeting internet irony. It’s designed to truly “feed” the ecosystem. Every minted token, every community action, is channeled towards something greater: tangible utility, consistent SHIB burns, and genuine builder empowerment.

Shibarium Builder Spotlight: The First CTO Meme Project on Shibarium

FEED proudly calls itself “Shibarium blockchain’s first CTO meme project.” But this CTO isn’t about a Chief Technology Officer. It stands for “Community Take Over,” a bold model where the power rests with token holders, not a hidden team.

“FEED is designed with a unique minting process where everyone can participate,” the Feed Community shared with The Shib Daily. “Its primary goal is to ‘Feed the Shiba Inu,’ contributing to SHIB burns.” The mechanics are elegantly simple: minting FEED on Shibarium requires gas fees paid in BONE, which in turn contributes to burning SHIB. It’s a loop where meme appeal directly fuels ecosystem utility. You mint. You burn. You feed.

Utility, Not Just Viral Hype

While many projects chase fleeting internet fame, FEED is digging in, focused on building a lasting foundation. It’s this dedication to substance that caught the eye of the Shibarium Builder Spotlight initiative.

“We’re solving for a gap,” the team stated. “There’s a lack of decentralized platforms that incentivize utility-based blockchain projects on Shibarium.” Their answer? A community-driven incubator, built not on venture capital, but on collective effort and shared vision.

The roadmap is undeniably ambitious: a zero-loss staking model allowing users to earn NEKO rewards without diminishing their FEED holdings; a DAO to govern funding and strategic partnerships; a planned metaverse club for deeper engagement. And on the horizon is FEEDSWAP, a decentralized exchange tailored for the ecosystem. The common thread through it all? Everything is architected to strengthen and grow Shibarium.

What Sets FEED Apart?

Decentralized governance. Transparent, immutable smart contracts. No presale tricks. No hefty team allocations. Just a pure, open minting process on one of the industry’s most cost-efficient Layer-2 chains.

This commitment to a fair launch, the Feed Community insists, is more than just good optics; it’s a core tenet. “We’re not another meme token,” they emphasized. “We’re a utility-driven ecosystem with a DAO incubator, a decentralized exchange, and upcoming metaverse integration.” It’s a clear signal that they’re playing the long game.

The team is betting that this blend of transparency and genuine utility will position FEED as a foundational pillar within the Shibarium ecosystem, not merely a temporary blip on the charts.

Shibarium Builder Spotlight: A Project Forging a Path

The Shibarium Builder Spotlight exists to elevate projects like FEED—teams that harness Shibarium’s powerful infrastructure not just to launch, but to innovate and lead. And FEED is already making its presence felt. The token is live across key decentralized exchanges like WoofSwap, ChewySwap, and ShibaSwap V2. It boasts an impressive count of over 40 million holding addresses, a testament to its broad appeal. Its community, a truly global force, spans China, Japan, Korea, India, the U.S., and Indonesia.

This global reach gives FEED significant leverage—and a sense of responsibility. “Shibarium’s emergence as a scalable blockchain creates opportunities,” the team said, their excitement palpable. “And we’re excited to pioneer decentralized innovation within it.”

In the coming months, they plan to finalize DAO details, seek core team endorsement, expand their DEX, and integrate an AI layer for enhanced decision-making. It’s a hefty agenda, but the groundwork appears solid.

No coding, no perceived chaos – that’s the promise from NFTs2Me, a project featured in this Shibarium Builder Spotlight. It aims to open the door to NFT creation on Shibarium with a process designed to be as simple as click, upload, and go live.

The idea driving NFTs2Me is to tackle a common frustration. Many artists, independent creators, or even small businesses are intrigued by the potential of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) but find the learning curve dauntingly steep. 

“We’re solving the complexity and technical barriers of launching NFT projects,” said the NFTs2Me team. They describe their platform as an all-in-one solution for those “who want to enter the NFT space on Shibarium without needing blockchain development skills.”

This addresses a common friction point in Web3, the evolving, more decentralized internet. The promise of this new digital era often collides with the specialized knowledge required to build within it. 

NFTs2Me intends to be that bridge. The platform provides tools for crafting various NFT types – from one-of-a-kind art pieces to series of editions or algorithmically generated collections. It also manages the technical backend, like uploading files to the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS), a distributed storage network, and then deploying the NFT’s smart contract onto the Shibarium blockchain, reportedly with minimal fees.

But the team is keen to emphasize that their offering extends beyond mere NFT minting. They highlight features designed to cultivate and manage a community around these digital assets. 

These include varied methods for acquiring NFTs, such as traditional credit card payments, the ability to set up custom web addresses for specific projects, and token-gated access, which restricts content to NFT holders. Tools for airdrops and tracking ownership are also integrated. 

“People often assume we’re ‘just another NFT minting tool,'” the team explained, “but NFTs2Me is much more: it’s a complete NFT ecosystem builder.”

Shibarium Builder Spotlight: The ‘Why’ Behind NFTs2Me on Shibarium

The decision to build on Shibarium, where their platform went live in the summer of 2023, was deliberate. The NFTs2Me team has been engaged with the platform since its inception. 

They were attracted, they stated, to Shibarium’s “low fees, scalability, and vibrant community.” These factors, they believe, make it “the ideal layer-2 to empower creators while tapping into the broader Shiba ecosystem’s energy and reach.”

Accessibility remains a central theme. Their platform, currently operational, allows users to connect a digital wallet and begin the creation or deployment process almost instantly. 

To date, they have launched their comprehensive suite for NFT creation and deployment. As for future developments? 

“We’re expanding with on-chain community engagement tools to help creators build deeper connections with their audiences,” the team shared.

NFTs2Me’s long-term ambition is sweeping. “Our vision is to democratize NFT creation and ownership by becoming the go-to no-code NFT platform on Shibarium and beyond,” they articulated. 

The ultimate aim is to enable a wide spectrum of users, from solo artists to established global brands, to launch and cultivate their digital communities independently, without technical intermediaries. For individuals within the Shibarium community eager to connect with the project, NFTs2Me welcomes feedback via their Discord server and encourages participation in NFT drops. 

They also express openness to collaborations.

What appears to fuel their endeavor is the palpable dynamism they observe in the Shibarium sphere. “What excites us most is the grassroots innovation and energy,” the team remarked. “We’re witnessing a shift where decentralized communities and creators are taking ownership of culture and digital identity.” And within that evolving landscape, NFTs2Me hopes to provide some of the crucial building blocks.

In this week’s Shibarium Builder Spotlight, one project is taking aim at the age-old power dynamics of the art world — and doing it on Shiba Inu’s layer-2 scalability solution. ShibaLisa.art, headed by pseudonymous project lead Shiba da Vinci, is a zero-commission, artist-owned NFT art marketplace built on the Shiba Inu blockchain.

“We want to start an art revolution where artists are truly valued, empowered, and fairly rewarded for their contributions to our cultural landscape,” the team said.

Revolutionizing Art Sales: Zero Commissions on Shibarium

Launched about a month ago, ShibaLisa.art wants to upend the traditional art world, armed with a community-owned model and a promise that artists keep all their sales money It seeks to solve an old problem: artists often feel squeezed by high commission fees and gatekeepers. 

“ShibaLisa.art is revolutionizing the art world through a community-owned marketplace built for the Shibarium blockchain,” the team noted. The platform, they explained, empowers artists in traditional art, photography, digital creation, and AI art. The goal is to let them “showcase and sell their work globally without traditional gatekeepers.”

The core of their approach is a zero-required-commission model. Artists can pocket 100% of their sales. Payments go directly to their digital wallets. While it’s a novel idea for an art marketplace, the real difference, according to Shiba da Vinci, lies deeper.

Shibarium Builder Spotlight: A Community-Owned, Artist-Driven DAO

ShibaLisa.art not your another online gallery. It’s built on the idea of collective ownership. 

Holders of the Shiba da Vinci NFT Collection will own the platform. This, the team believes, means decisions will focus on artists’ needs, not corporate profits. A Decentralized Autonomous Organization, or DAO, will give every NFT holder a vote on the platform’s future.

“For artists, especially those without established gallery relationships, the conventional art world presents significant barriers,” Shiba da Vinci noted. His project aims to tear those barriers down. Artists control pricing and presentation. They can connect directly with buyers. And the platform offers an interactive map for physical galleries and events, bridging the digital and physical art scenes. Even art lovers who can’t buy original pieces can support artists through tipping.

Why Build on Shibarium? A Community-First Choice

The choice to build on Shibarium was deliberate. “Shibarium is truly the ‘people’s blockchain’ – built by the community, for the community,” the team said. They cited low transaction fees, crucial for making art sales and even small tips affordable. 

The playful culture of the Shiba Inu ecosystem also felt like a good fit. “This shared element of humor makes blockchain technology less intimidating for artists who may be new to Web3,” they added. 

The team also believes in Shibarium’s long-term sustainability and looks forward to upcoming features like its L3 privacy layer.

Though ShibaLisa.art is new to Shibarium, its developers have nearly three years of experience building on Ethereum. Their production server is live. But the journey has just begun. 

“Our main struggle has been building a community without financial backing,” the team admitted. They are currently revamping how artists upload and manage portfolios. Their NFT collection, ORIGINS, initially on Ethereum, will move to Shibarium this week. 

The project’s $LISA token is live on Ethereum, with an application submitted to bridge it officially to Shibarium.

Shibarium Builder Spotlight: ShibaLisa.art’s Vision for the Ecosystem

Once these foundational pieces are solid, “hopefully in a week’s time,” the team plans a bigger push to onboard artists and grow their user base. They invite community feedback on their staging server, accessible via their Telegram channel.

ShibaLisa.art envisions itself as “the definitive global destination for discovering, supporting, and collecting art from emerging and independent artists.”

The team’s enthusiasm for being part of the broader Shiba Inu ecosystem is clear. “Being part of the Shib ecosystem is the rare opportunity to participate in a genuine blockchain revolution driven by community rather than corporate interests,” the team shared. 

“Shibarium represents more than just technical infrastructure – it embodies a philosophy that aligns perfectly with our vision for democratizing art.”

They find the most reward in offering real value. “Each artist who finds success through ShibaLisa.art and each collector who discovers new artwork they love represents a concrete example of Shibarium delivering on its promise.” It’s this sense of shared purpose, they feel, that makes the Shib ecosystem special.

This week, the Shibarium Builder Spotlight beams down on WoofSwap, a rising decentralized exchange that’s not just riding the meme wave but attempting to rewrite the DeFi playbook from inside Shiba Inu’s layer-2 ecosystem. The project aims to provide “a powerful and efficient platform for DeFi liquidity.”

Launched by a team with one of the developers identifying publicly as “Jim,” WoofSwap seeks to address common issues like “high transaction costs and scalability issues,” offering users a more “cost-efficient and user-friendly platform.” By building on Shibarium, WoofSwap leverages the layer-2 solution’s faster transaction speeds and significantly lower fees.

Shibarium Builder Spotlight: WoofSwap Reinvents the DEX Model with ve(3,3)

According to the team, WoofSwap functions as a decentralized exchange where users can trade digital tokens directly. It utilizes a specific economic model known as “ve(3,3),” derived from an earlier project called Ve33 Finance. The team states this model makes the project distinct, highlighting its “ve(3,3) tokenomics, which aligns incentives through vote-escrowed tokens and fee rewards, combined with Shibarium’s technology for ultra-low fees and high-speed transactions.” Users lock the platform’s native token, $WOOF, to gain voting rights and receive rewards from trading fees.

Explaining their choice of network, the team said, “We chose Shibarium for its layer-2 scaling solution, which offers fast, low-cost transactions, aligning with our goal of making DeFi accessible.” They also noted Shibarium’s “vibrant Shiba Inu community and focus on meme coin utility” as providing a “perfect ecosystem to foster WoofSwap’s growth.” WoofSwap has been developing on Shibarium since roughly mid-2023.

Key features already built include permissionless liquidity pools, the ve(3,3) tokenomics system and support for tokens like $BONE alongside its own $WOOF token. The team also mentioned launching shibarium.fun as part of its effort to boost ecosystem growth.

Project Vision and Community Engagement

The team’s vision is “to make WoofSwap the leading DEX on Shibarium, driving a thriving meme coin economy with sustainable DeFi solutions.” Addressing potential misconceptions, the team noted that people might think WoofSwap is “just another meme coin DEX,” but emphasized that “it’s a sophisticated ve(3,3) platform designed for long-term sustainability.”

For those interested in engaging, the WoofSwap team encourages participation through providing liquidity, staking tokens, or joining governance votes. They direct users to their official social media channels (@woofswap on X and Telegram) and project documentation available on their GitBook site for updates and further information.

WoofSwap may wear a meme-friendly name, but its mechanics are anything but lightweight. By combining vote-escrowed tokenomics with Shibarium’s low-fee, high-speed architecture, the project positions itself as more than just another DEX—it’s a calculated experiment in sustainable DeFi.

The action of Shiba Inu price action is stirring the charts, with a crypto analyst pointing to a bullish breakout that could catapult the token 26% higher — if the wedge pattern plays out.

Analyst Eyes Shiba Inu Price Pattern

The forecast originates from a crypto trader known online as SHIB KNIGHT. Posting on X (formerly Twitter), the analyst shared the Shiba Inu price chart against the stablecoin Tether (USDT). The chart highlighted a specific technical formation known as a “falling wedge.”

This pattern occurs when an asset’s price bounces between two downward-sloping trend lines that are gradually converging. Some traders interpret a decisive move above the upper trend line – a “breakout” – as a signal that the preceding downtrend might be reversing, potentially leading to higher prices.

Based on this interpretation, the crypto trader projected a target price near $0.000017 if the breakout occurs. At the time the analysis was shared, the Shiba Inu price was hovering near the potential breakout point around $0.00001335. Reaching the $0.000017 target would represent approximately a 26% gain from that level.

The analyst’s chart also marked key price levels to watch. Potential support levels, where buying might emerge to slow or stop a price decline, were indicated near $0.00001320 and $0.00001279. Conversely, possible resistance levels on the way up, where selling pressure could intensify, were noted around $0.00001494 and $0.00001574, below the main $0.000017 target.

Market participants often use technical analysis like this to identify potential trading opportunities and manage risk. However, these patterns are not guarantees of future performance. The Shiba Inu price is notoriously volatile and subject to influences beyond chart formations, including overall market sentiment and online trends. The analysis by SHIB KNIGHT represents one interpretation of the current technical setup.

Recent Market Movement Supports Bullish Outlook

Adding context to the technical analysis, Shiba Inu demonstrated positive price movement in recent trading. As of 12:02 p.m. Eastern Time on Thursday, the token was trading at $0.00001364.

Data from CoinMarketCap indicated this price represented a notable 4.54% increase over the previous 24 hours. This short-term gain built upon slight increases over longer periods, with the price up 0.97% over the last seven days and showing a 4.58% rise compared to 30 days prior. 

Trading activity over the 24-hour window saw $162.97 million worth of Shiba Inu exchanged. Reflecting the day’s gains, the token’s total market capitalization reached $8.04 billion, also up 4.54% in the period. This recent market behavior provides a backdrop for analysts watching for potential continuation signaled by chart patterns.

150 billion stolen Shiba Inu tokens from the Bitrue hack are being swapped and laundered, as malicious actors move the assets through Tornado Cash to obscure their trail.

Details Emerge on Stolen Shiba Inu Tokens Conversion

Blockchain security firm PeckShield recently alerted the crypto community to significant movements from wallet addresses associated with the 2023 Bitrue exchange exploit. On-chain data revealed the malicious actors swapped a massive 150 billion Shiba Inu tokens (SHIB), along with approximately 756 million Holo (HOT) tokens.

These assets were converted into roughly 1,500 Ether (ETH). Following the swap, the exploiters quickly moved to obscure the funds’ origins, transferring 1,050 ETH directly into Tornado Cash, a decentralized cryptocurrency mixing service designed to break the on-chain link between sender and receiver addresses.

Context: The 2023 Bitrue Exchange Hack

This recent activity is tied to a significant security breach that occurred in April 2023. Cryptocurrency exchange Bitrue suffered a cyberattack targeting one of its hot wallets, leading to an estimated loss of $23 million in various digital assets at the time. The theft included a diverse range of tokens, and the perpetrators have been periodically moving these funds since the initial incident. The movement of large quantities of specific assets, like the Shiba Inu tokens, often occurs when exploiters attempt to consolidate holdings or prepare for cashing out.

Over $25 Million Still Held as Laundering Continues

Despite the recent swap and mixing activity, the addresses linked to the Bitrue exploiter still retain a substantial amount of cryptocurrency. According to PeckShield’s analysis, the remaining traceable holdings include approximately 5,111 ETH and 16 million DAI (a stablecoin pegged to the U.S. dollar).

At current market valuations, these remaining assets are worth roughly $25.5 million. The ongoing movement and laundering attempts underscore the persistent challenge of tracking illicit crypto funds and the methods used by attackers to obfuscate their trails long after an initial exploit occurs. The use of Tornado Cash, in particular, complicates recovery efforts for exchanges and law enforcement agencies.

Shiba Inu Climbs as Trading Volume Increases

Shiba Inu (SHIB) demonstrated positive momentum in the early trading hours of Monday, signaling renewed buyer interest in the popular dog-themed cryptocurrency. As of 6:40 a.m. ET, SHIB was trading at $0.00001415, reflecting a solid 3.21% gain on the day. This price appreciation suggests a bullish start to the week for the asset.

Further bolstering this positive sentiment is the notable increase in trading activity. Shiba Inu’s 24-hour trading volume climbed to $200.19 million, marking a significant 9.42% increase. Rising volume accompanying a price increase is often seen as a potentially bullish indicator, suggesting stronger conviction behind the upward price movement and heightened market participation. It implies that the price gain isn’t merely a low-volume drift but is supported by active trading.

The positive price action directly translated into an expansion of Shiba Inu’s market capitalization. Reaching $8.35 billion, the market cap saw a 3.45% increase, closely mirroring the daily price gain. This valuation reaffirms SHIB’s standing as the world’s second-largest canine-inspired digital asset by market value, underscoring its continued relevance and significant footprint within the altcoin ecosystem, particularly among meme coins.

Loyalty takes the main stage as the Shibarium Dev Spotlight initiative illuminates Hachi Token’s bold expansion, showcasing how this Ethereum-born project now bridges its Hachiko-inspired mission directly onto the Shibarium network.

Hachi Token Profiled in Shibarium Dev Spotlight

Featured in the Shibarium Dev Spotlight, Hachi Token (HACHI) details its core identity. “Hachi Token is a cryptocurrency project inspired by the story of Hachiko, the loyal Japanese dog symbolizing dedication and resilience,” the team shared. Launched initially on Ethereum nearly three years ago, the project “aims to build a community-driven ecosystem centered on loyalty and consistency.”

Led by the pseudonymous Kobayashi Kikuzaburō, the Hachi team expanded onto the Shibarium blockchain on January 1, 2025. This involved bridging the HACHI token from Ethereum via Hoichi’s Cross-Chain Torii Bridge. 

The team believes Hachi is vital to Shibarium “because it embodies the spirit of trust and commitment that strengthens the ecosystem,” adding that “Loyalty is essential in Shibarium to build a tight-knit community that drives its decentralized vision forward.”

Technical Features Detailed in Shibarium Dev Spotlight

Hachi Token’s technical aspects includes cross-chain capability via the Hoichi bridge allows asset movement between Ethereum and Shibarium. Hachi has also implemented F.A.B.E.R. (Flame Accelerated Burn for Enhanced Reductions), a token burn mechanism using transaction taxes and monthly burns.

The team noted they had been “actively building behind the scenes trying to build a contract for nearly more than half a year” that was “unique, worthy for Shibarium Chain.” Future plans include revamping the Hachitoken.io website, potentially developing a swap feature and bridging their LOYALTY token to Shibarium.

The live HACHI token contract on Shibarium (0xabe27f4d040b448fba19e387b5f5707a75c4a66b) is accessible.

Community, Vision, and Ecosystem Perspective

Hachi Token emphasizes its unique position. “Hachi stands apart, rooted in the century-old story of Hachiko,” the team explained, noting its three years on Ethereum where it “stayed true to its community, never straying from its core values.” They chose Shibarium partly because, “We proudly embrace the underdog role… standing firm through ridicule, staying true to our purpose no matter the odds.”

The team actively encourages community engagement via their website and Telegram (t.me/hachitoken). Addressing past challenges, they stated, “Certain people labeled us as scammers from the start. Yet here we are, nearly three years later, still building, still showing up.” 

In addition to the HACHI token, the project also includes non-fungible token (NFT) collections titled “Hachi Genesis” and “Illustration of Resilience,” which are available on the OpenSea marketplace.

Its long-term vision involves “making a real-world impact, channeling resources into initiatives that align with our core values.” Expressing enthusiasm for the ecosystem, the Hachi team noted, “Everything about the Shib ecosystem is electrifying—a true pioneer in the cryptospace.” They specifically credited Hoichi Token for enabling their Shibarium integration.

The Bone price jumped nearly 12% over the past week, fueled by rising trade volumes and strong community optimism, even as the technical chart suggests its momentum is still building, not yet reaching a fever pitch.

Bone Price Climbs: Latest Data Update

As of 4:02 a.m. ET on Tuesday, the Bone price registered at $0.2765, according to CoinMarketCap data. This marks a significant 13.11% increase over the preceding seven days. 

Underscoring this positive momentum, the 24-hour trading volume hit $5.16 million, representing a 24.54% surge compared to the same period last week, suggesting heightened trader interest accompanies the price climb. With a circulating supply reported at 229.92 million BONE, this places Bone ShibaSwap’s current market capitalization at approximately $63.64 million. 

Technical Indicators Suggest Recovery

A look at the daily BONE/USDT chart provides technical context. The Relative Strength Index (RSI), a common momentum indicator, currently sits around 50.63. 

The RSI measures the speed and change of price movements, oscillating between 0 and 100. Readings above 70 typically suggest an asset might be overbought, while readings below 30 can indicate oversold conditions.

BONE’s current RSI level near 50 places it firmly in neutral territory. While it shows an upward trajectory from lower levels seen previously on the chart (indicating recovering momentum), it remains far from the overbought zone. 

The chart shows historical instances where BONE’s RSI surged well above 70 during significant price peaks (like those seen around August 2023 and March 2024), suggesting that current momentum, while positive, hasn’t reached potentially unsustainable extremes.

Community Backs Bone Price Amid Market Cap Dip

The recent positive price action aligns with overwhelmingly bullish community sentiment. Data from CoinMarketCap indicates that 85% of nearly 77,200 user votes expressed a positive outlook for BONE.

Holder data reveals a pattern common in many cryptocurrencies: a broad base of small holders alongside significant concentration among larger players, or “whales.” While nearly 96% of addresses hold less than $1,000 worth of BONE, whales (addresses with $100k+) control roughly 50.14% of the supply. 

Impressively, long-term conviction appears strong, with analytics suggesting over 87% of addresses have held BONE for more than a year. Despite the positive price and volume trends over the week, BONE’s overall market capitalization registered a slight decrease, down approximately 6.33% to $62.68 million according to data from CoinMarketCap. 

In summary, Bone ShibaSwap presents a picture of renewed short-term interest, backed by strong community sentiment and long-term holders. Technical indicators suggest momentum is rebuilding but not yet overheated. Investors continue to watch BONE closely, balancing the positive signs against the token’s inherent volatility and the mixed signal from its recent market cap fluctuation.

A pattern suggesting a potential price reversal is taking shape on the Shiba Inu chart, catching analysts’ attention just as on-chain data reveals a dramatic spike in large transactions. The timing has observers speculating that major holders, or “whales,” may be positioning themselves, hinting at renewed interest in the meme coin’s next move.

Potential Reversal Pattern Emerges on Shiba Inu Chart

Technical analysts are eyeing a specific formation on the daily price chart for Shiba Inu (SHIB), particularly as depicted in analysis published on TradingView by the user @CryptoWizard101 on Monday. The chart appears to show the cryptocurrency carving out a “double bottom” pattern against its Tether (USDT) pairing. 

This classic technical formation occurs when a price tests a low point, bounces, retests that same approximate low, and bounces again. In traditional chart analysis, a double bottom is often viewed as a bullish signal. 

It suggests that sellers may lack the conviction to push the price lower past that established support level – seen near the $0.00001154 mark on the referenced chart. If the pattern holds and the price breaks above the intervening peak, it could signal the start of a potential uptrend.

Whale Transactions Spike Alongside Chart Signals

Adding weight to the chart observations is a significant surge in activity on the Shiba Inu blockchain itself. Data from analytics firm IntoTheBlock indicated a dramatic 95.91% increase in the volume of large SHIB transactions within the 24 hours leading up to Monday. 

These large movements, typically defined as transactions exceeding $100,000, accounted for a transfer volume of roughly 18.51 trillion SHIB. At the time, this amount was valued at approximately $7.75 million.

Such a sharp uptick in large transaction volume frequently points towards increased activity among cryptocurrency “whales” – wallets holding substantial amounts of the asset. While the specific intentions behind these movements remain unclear (they could represent buying, selling, or simply internal transfers), the sheer scale suggests major players were actively engaging with SHIB. 

This coincided with broader market activity, as data from CoinMarketCap showed Shiba Inu’s overall 24-hour trading volume had increased by about 10%, reaching nearly $149 million.

Holder Sentiment Remains Strong Despite Whale Dominance

Further context from market data highlights the unique distribution of Shiba Inu. While an overwhelming majority of addresses (over 93%) hold relatively small amounts (under $1,000), a very small cohort of whale addresses (0.15%) wields significant influence, controlling an estimated 58.5% of the token’s supply.

Despite this concentration, a strong sense of holding persists within the community. Analytics suggest that over 77% of Shiba Inu addresses have held their tokens for more than one year, classifying them as long-term “Holders” rather than short-term “Traders.”

While the potential double bottom on the Shiba Inu chart and the surge in whale activity present intriguing data points, market analysts caution against definitive conclusions. Technical patterns can fail, and whale movements can be ambiguous. Yet, the convergence of these factors has undeniably placed Shiba Inu back in the spotlight for traders and investors monitoring the popular meme coin for signs of its next significant move.

Shibarium’s future ignites! The Shibarium Dev Initiative pulls back the curtain on builders shaping the L2, spotlighting Shups Ecosystem – a project forging a dynamic hub blending ROI opportunities with real-world impact as the network surpasses 1 billion transactions.

Shibarium Dev Initiative Spotlights Shups Ecosystem

Launched as part of the ongoing Shibarium dev initiative to showcase the diverse talent building on Shiba Inu layer-2 scalability solution, this feature explores the Shups Ecosystem. Spearheaded by pseudonymous founder Eternal Night Designs, the project aims to provide a multifaceted experience for users within the Shibarium environment. 

Described as a potential “one-stop shop for all Shibarium Native tokens,” Shups offers several avenues for engagement and potential returns. Central to the ecosystem are its NFT collections. 

The currently live Shups and Shibbits NFTs are designed to be stakeable, allowing holders to potentially earn Shibarium-related tokens such as $BONE, $LEASH, $TREAT, or $SHIB. This provides a direct way for users to interact with and benefit from the network’s core assets. 

Additionally, the project features its own native token, SHUPS, which incorporates a reflection mechanism rewarding holders directly in Wrapped Bone ($wBONE). The team is preparing the ShadowKats NFT collection, intended to offer staking rewards specifically in the upcoming $TREAT token, showing adaptation to the evolving Shibarium landscape.

Unique Features: Lottery, Philanthropy, and Purpose

Beyond direct staking and token rewards, Shups Ecosystem incorporates unique elements aimed at broader utility and community impact. A significant upcoming feature is the Shups Lottery. 

Modeled after the familiar Powerball system, it’s designed with challenging jackpot odds but substantial potential payouts. Eternal Night Designs suggested this mechanism could lock up considerable amounts of $BONE as the jackpot grows, potentially contributing to the token’s scarcity over time, while also offering smaller prizes at different odds.

A strong philanthropic current runs through the project. Shups operates a merchandise store where 50% of proceeds are donated to animal welfare charities. 

The remaining 50% is reinvested into the ecosystem through mechanisms like token buy-and-burns and community giveaways, creating a feedback loop that supports both the project and its charitable goals. This focus on real-world impact is a key differentiator. 

Eternal Night Designs emphasized delivering value consistently, stating, “…rather than just gimmicks to give meaning to a random meme token, we are purpose building with transparency that gives these utilities… real value…” They also stressed a commitment to “real art (not AI)” within their NFT collections.

The decision to build on Shibarium, starting back in November 2023, was driven by identifying a “gap in philanthropy and solid returns” within the ecosystem at that time. The project encourages community participation, primarily through Telegram, offering opportunities for testing and feedback. 

The long-term vision centers on expanding charitable efforts, potentially helping animal shelters adopt cryptocurrency, while continuing to enhance ROI mechanisms, add lottery games, and forge new partnerships (existing collaborators include Bury Farms, Chewyswap, and TuttiFruttiWomen). The team shares the excitement surrounding Shibarium’s growth potential, citing the recent UAE partnership announcement.

Projects like Shups Ecosystem represent the kind of dedicated building and unique utility that the Shibarium Dev Initiative seeks to highlight. As the Shiba Inu’s layer-2 continues to evolve, platforms offering diverse functionalities and clear purpose contribute significantly to its overall strength. 

Those interested can find more details on the Shups Ecosystem website. The project encourages community participation, primarily through their Telegram channel and X account, offering opportunities for testing and feedback.

Shibarium devs now have a dedicated pipeline for technical support, as the core team launches a specialized Telegram channel providing direct access for real-time assistance. This crucial new hub is live, aiming to slash technical roadblocks and accelerate dApp creation by offering Shibarium devs a direct line to the engineering team.

Direct Support Channel Launched for Shibarium Devs

This latest initiative focuses squarely on improving the experience for Shibarium devs. The creation of the dedicated Telegram group was announced by “John Doe,” identified as a pseudonymous Shibarium engineering manager. 

His message, aimed directly at the builder community, laid out the channel’s purpose clearly: “In order to support the developer community building on Shibarium, we started a telegram group. We will try to answer all general technical queries here along with specific queries related to Shib SDKs and other services. Thanks. Devs, please join.”

The establishment of this specialized group is a practical effort to provide more focused and potentially faster technical assistance than might be available in broader community forums. By creating this dedicated space, the Shibarium team can more efficiently help Shibarium devs overcome specific hurdles concerning the platform’s Software Development Kits (SDKs), tools, and other integrated services essential for building applications.

This direct line of communication aims to lower the barrier to entry for new Shibarium devs and support existing ones by streamlining troubleshooting and knowledge sharing. Fostering such a supportive ecosystem is widely recognized as crucial for attracting development talent and encouraging the creation of a diverse range of decentralized applications (dApps). 

Ultimately, a thriving community of Shibarium devs translates directly into increased utility and innovation for the entire Shibarium network and the wider Shiba Inu ecosystem.

Recent Recognition Efforts for Shibarium Devevelopers

This move to provide direct technical support via Telegram follows closely on another significant gesture aimed at boosting visibility for Shibarium devs. Just days prior, the same pseudonymous engineering manager, announced a program offering developers the chance to gain official recognition by having their projects listed on Shibarium’s official website.

Addressing the building community directly in that earlier announcement, celebrating Shibarium’s then-recent milestone, Doe said: “Dear fellow developers! Shibarium is celebrating 1B transactions! If you have been developing great products on Shibarium, we would like to list you on the official website. Do submit here.”

That initiative provided a direct pathway for Shibarium devs contributing valuable products to the ecosystem to gain enhanced credibility and exposure through official channels. The subsequent launch of the dedicated Telegram support group can therefore be seen as a complementary effort, further strengthening support for Shibarium devs by providing not only recognition (via website listings) but also crucial, hands-on technical assistance. Together, these actions paint a picture of a concerted strategy to actively cultivate and empower the base of Shibarium devs.

Shiba Inu (SHIB) teeters on the brink, pressing hard against a critical resistance wall that a crypto analyst believes holds the key to a massive breakout for the Shiba Inu price. This potential move targets a 67% explosion upwards to $0.00002. The battle lines are drawn at this key resistance, and a confirmed breakout could ignite the next significant rally for the popular dog-themed altcoin.

Shiba Inu Price Poised at Key Juncture

A technical analysis recently published by crypto commentator CryptoWizard101 has focused attention on a specific juncture for the Shiba Inu price. In their assessment, which utilized the accompanying daily chart (see provided image), the analyst identified SHIB positioned near a significant resistance level. This price zone is technically important as it represents an area where previous attempts at upward movement faced considerable selling pressure.

CryptoWizard101 highlighted the potential implications of this setup, stating, “SHIB is currently hovering near a critical resistance level, indicating the possibility of a bullish breakout.” Based on this observation within their analysis, the suggestion is that a decisive move above this specific barrier could potentially trigger a strong buying response.

Should the breakout scenario outlined by the analyst materialize, CryptoWizard101 projects an initial target for the Shiba Inu price at $0.000015. If bullish momentum were to sustain following such a break, the analysis points towards a more ambitious secondary target of $0.00002. 

This represents the substantial 67% potential gain from the price point noted in the analysis (around $0.00001197). The provided chart illustrates the technical basis for these targets, showing less historical resistance between the identified breakout point and these higher levels.

It is crucial to remember that this analysis reflects CryptoWizard101’s interpretation of the chart at the time of publication. Market participants often await confirmation signals – such as a daily candle closing firmly above the resistance level accompanied by strong trading volume – before validating a breakout. The Shiba Inu price remains subject to market volatility and broader economic factors beyond this specific technical viewpoint.

SHIB Price Action

At approximately 8:53 a.m. ET on Friday, Shiba Inu’s market snapshot provided crucial context for CryptoWizard101’s analysis. Trading at $0.00001201, the Shiba Inu price hovered remarkably close to the levels identified in the analyst’s potential breakout scenario, reinforcing its immediate relevance. 

The 24-hour trading volume stood at a notable $194.48 million, indicating significant ongoing market activity and trader interest surrounding the token as it interacts with this key technical zone. Data sourced from CoinMarketCap further contextualizes SHIB’s position: its substantial market capitalization of roughly $7.08 billion, derived from the vast circulating supply of approximately 589.25 trillion SHIB tokens, underscores its established presence in the cryptocurrency landscape.

Shiba Inu lead developer Kaal Dhairya gives a rare update on the SHI stablecoin, citing regulatory uncertainty as the reason for its delay — and reviving community interest in the final token of Ryoshi’s original vision.

Kaal — as the Shib Army fondly calls him — said Wednesday that the project is “waiting on clear stable coin regulations” before moving forward with SHI. He made the comment during a brief exchange on social media.

A user had asked, “Bro, if possible one question: any update about the stable coin Shi? Many thanks!”

Kaal’s response offered a rare, concise update on the status of SHI amid ongoing regulatory uncertainty.

SHI Stablecoin: Ryoshi’s Vision

The SHI stablecoin has been part of the Shiba Inu ecosystem’s long-term plan, originally outlined in writings attributed to the project’s pseudonymous founder, Ryoshi. In blog posts, Ryoshi described SHI with concepts like being an “algo-stable coin that always pegs to 1c,” meaning one U.S. cent. 

The founder envisioned SHI evolving into a “global stable currency” usable by ordinary people (“plebs,” in Ryoshi’s phrasing) worldwide for both storing value and making payments. Stablecoins, in general, are digital assets designed to minimize price volatility. 

They achieve this by pegging their value to another asset, often a major fiat currency like the U.S. dollar, through various mechanisms, including holding reserves or using algorithms. The goal is to combine the transactional efficiency of cryptocurrencies with the price stability of traditional money. 

For SHI, the proposed $0.01 peg was intended to provide a stable unit of account within the Shiba Inu ecosystem, particularly on its Layer 2 network, Shibarium.

Shiba Inu Lead Dev Cites Regulatory Hurdles

The need for such stability within the ecosystem was previously highlighted by Shytoshi Kusama, Shiba Inu’s lead ambassador. In a blog post, Kusama explained SHI’s importance for practical applications, such as enabling businesses to manage invoices paid over extended periods or facilitating transactions that don’t settle instantly, like credit card payments.

The Shiba Inu lead dev’s comment places SHI squarely within the broader uncertainty around stablecoin regulation. Authorities in the U.S. and abroad continue to grapple with how to define, license, and oversee stablecoins. That has prompted caution across the industry — with many developers delaying launches until clearer rules emerge.

This uncertainty has prompted caution among some developers in the space, delaying the launch or full development of new stablecoin projects until clearer rules are established. The Shiba Inu lead dev’s comment suggests the Shiba Inu team is taking a similar stance regarding SHI.

As market fear swirls, Kaal Dhairya, the Shiba Inu lead dev, directs the community’s gaze forward, hinting online Wednesday at a significant “next phase” for the ecosystem, urging the community to build through the current market slump.

Known affectionately as “Kaal” by the Shib Army, pointed towards specific technological advancements in his post on the social media platform X. He identified “Rollups, FHE, and beyond” as key elements of this upcoming stage for the Shiba Inu project. 

FHE stands for Fully Homomorphic Encryption, a complex form of cryptography focused on data privacy.  His X post came during a period of declining prices across the digital asset market. 

Kaal acknowledged the negative sentiment, often termed “FUD” for fear, uncertainty, and doubt. “When markets dip, the FUD rises,” he shared in his X post.

Shiba Inu Lead Dev Addresses Market Fears

The Shiba Inu lead dev urged followers to disregard this negativity. “Ignore the noise,” he stated plainly. He attributed some of the rising fear and uncertainty to actors he described as “scammers who made millions off the SHIB ecosystem.”

Instead of dwelling on market fluctuations or criticism, Kaal emphasized a proactive approach focused on development. He drew a parallel to the work ethic of another project with multiple projects on Shibarium, Shiba Inu’s layer-2 scalability solution.

Focus on Work Ethic, Says Shiba Inu Lead Dev

“Remember: like @woofswap builders build,” Kaal further said in his X post. The Shiba Inu lead dev concluded his message with a simple directive reinforcing this focus. “No complaints. Just work,” he wrote.

His remarks position the current market climate not as a setback, but as a period for foundational development within the Shiba Inu ecosystem. The focus shifts towards potentially incorporating newer blockchain technologies for future growth.

Kaal’s commentary, layered onto the practical step of putting Shibarium builders on the spotlight, served to frame the project’s current efforts within a larger narrative of resilience and forward-looking innovation, even as the wider crypto market faces headwinds. The push to formally list projects on the official Shiba Inu website represents a tangible step towards solidifying Shibarium’s identity and utility within the larger crypto space. 

For builders, inclusion offers increased visibility and a degree of official recognition. Kaal’s commentary layered onto this initiative serves as both a rallying cry for current participants facing market headwinds and a signal that Shiba Inu aims to continue evolving its technological base moving forward.

The combined messages encourage both participation in the current ecosystem structure and anticipation for future advancements.

Shibarium marks a milestone, crossing 1 billion transactions, and immediately shifts into high gear, unveiling its bold Shibarium developer initiative designed to spotlight the builders powering its ecosystem. The new program offers builders official recognition and visibility on the network’s website, turning the milestone into a springboard for developer growth.

Spotlight Turns to Builders with New Shibarium Developer Initiative

Capitalizing on the momentum from this achievement, the Shibarium team quickly formalized the new program focused squarely on the builders innovating on the network. The Shibarium developer initiative aims to recognize and promote the projects actively contributing to the platform’s expanding ecosystem.

The official call to action came on Tuesday via a post on X (formerly Twitter) from John Doe, Shibarium Engineering Manager. Addressing the building community directly, Doe stated: “Dear fellow developers! Shibarium is celebrating 1B transactions! If you have been developing great products on Shibarium, we would like to list you on the official website. Do submit here.” 

This post provided the direct pathway for developers to gain official recognition and visibility by having their projects potentially featured on Shibarium’s official website via the provided submission link. 

This public announcement followed earlier comments Doe shared within the Shibarium Tech Telegram channel, signaling the intent behind the program. In that channel, he had similarly encouraged builders: “To all the fellow developers here, if you have been developing great products on Shibarium network and would like to be listed from our side, please let me know.”

Celebrating the Builders Behind the Billion Transactions

The motivation behind the Shibarium developer initiative was clearly linked to the network’s recent success. Elaborating on the Telegram channel, Doe had stated, “Since Shibarium hit 1 Billion transactions, we want to celebrate every dev and app who made it possible.” 

This sentiment frames the new program not just as a promotional tool, but as a gesture of appreciation and acknowledgment for the developer community whose creations contributed to reaching the transaction milestone. By offering a platform for visibility on the official website, Shibarium aims to foster a more interconnected ecosystem through this program. 

It allows users to more easily discover new applications built on the network, while simultaneously providing valuable exposure for development teams. This recognition can help projects attract users, build community, and potentially secure further support or investment.

This focus on showcasing active development sends a strong signal about Shibarium’s commitment to nurturing its ecosystem beyond just providing infrastructure. It highlights a strategy focused on cultivating a vibrant landscape of dApps and services, driven by a supported developer base acknowledged via the Shibarium developer initiative. 

As the network continues to handle significant transaction volume, fostering the utility layer through such programs becomes increasingly important for sustained growth and user retention. The call for developers marks a proactive step in building out that utility.

Shiba Inu deflationary mechanism kicks into high gear, registering a stunning four-digit percentage surge in token burns and reinforcing the crucial scarcity narrative among investors, even as broader market conditions remain uncertain.

The Shiba Inu community is actively working to reshape the token’s supply dynamics, evidenced by a dramatic recent spike in its burning activity. This intensified effort highlights the commitment to SHIB’s long-term tokenomic goals, providing a potentially bullish counterpoint to prevailing market volatility.

Recent data underscores the scale of this surge. According to the Shiba Inu burn data, the rate at which SHIB tokens were permanently removed from circulation skyrocketed by over 1465% within a 24-hour period earlier this week. This four-digit percentage jump translated into more than 34 million SHIB tokens being sent to dead wallets, effectively erasing them from the available supply forever.

Intensified Burning Highlights Shiba Inu Deflationary Mechanism

This heightened activity powerfully showcases the Shiba Inu deflationary mechanism in action. Token burning – the act of sending cryptocurrencies to an unusable address – is a deliberate strategy employed by the SHIB project and its community to reduce the token’s vast initial supply.

The underlying principle is simple: by making the asset scarcer over time, the value of the remaining tokens may potentially increase, assuming demand holds steady or grows. The recent near 1500% surge isn’t merely an anomaly driven by a single large event; it reflects a broader trend of active participation. 

Data from Shib Torch, specifically tracking burns via the official portal, showed over 836 million SHIB burned this week alone, marking a 4% increase week-over-week. This demonstrates consistent, community-driven engagement with the Shiba Inu deflationary mechanism, working alongside any larger, periodic burns to chip away at the circulating supply.

Scarcity Narrative Strengthens Amid Market Conditions

This potent demonstration of the Shiba Inu deflationary mechanism comes at a time when SHIB’s price, along with the wider crypto market, faced significant headwinds. Short-term price movements are often heavily influenced by macroeconomic factors and overall market sentiment, which can temporarily overshadow ecosystem-specific developments like token burns.

However, for many holders and analysts focused on long-term potential, a rapidly accelerating burn rate is a fundamentally positive sign. It reinforces the narrative that SHIB is actively working towards greater scarcity, a key element many believe is necessary for substantial future price appreciation. 

While the immediate impact on price might be muted by broader market forces, the four-digit surge in burning activity provides tangible evidence of the commitment to improving SHIB’s tokenomics. Market watchers often view a project’s burn rate as an indicator of community engagement and confidence in its long-term strategy. 

The recent explosion in SHIB burning suggests these elements are currently strong. While analysts caution that market recovery is needed across the board, the vigorous activity surrounding the Shiba Inu deflationary mechanism adds a compelling layer to the token’s investment thesis, fueling optimism about its potential once market conditions stabilize.
