- Shiba Inu’s market growth and listings strengthen its potential for an ETF launch.
- SHIB ETF could legitimize the token and attract institutional investor interest.
- BONE may benefit as Shibarium activity rises from ETF-driven SHIB adoption.
Speculation around a potential Shiba Inu (SHIB) exchange-traded fund (ETF) has gained traction in the community. With Bitcoin ETFs already trading and Ethereum ETFs expected soon, attention has shifted to which asset might follow next.
ETF Talk Follows Bitcoin and Ethereum Products
The discussion builds on the precedent set by Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, which opened regulated channels for institutional investors. Traders are now assessing whether SHIB’s scale and liquidity make it a candidate for similar treatment.
SHIB Team Argues ETF Case
In a post on the official SHIB X account, the team said the project has expanded well beyond its meme coin origins. SHIB now carries a multi-billion-dollar market cap, trades on major exchanges, and retains one of the largest retail investor bases in crypto.
Institutional Legitimacy and Regulated Exposure
The team argued these conditions mirror the early stage of Bitcoin and Ethereum before their ETF approvals. A SHIB ETF would give institutions a regulated way to enter the market, potentially opening new inflows.
Impact on Shibarium and BONE
While an ETF would track SHIB directly, Shiba Inu’s Layer 2 network Shibarium could see indirect benefits. Every transaction on the network requires BONE as gas, linking ecosystem activity to token demand.
Shibarium Transaction Growth Tied to ETF Attention
If SHIB adoption accelerates with ETF recognition, developers and users could expand activity on Shibarium. More decentralized applications (dApps) and higher transaction throughput would amplify BONE’s role as the utility token.

Why BONE May Gain From SHIB ETF Momentum
Community analysts point out that BONE could strengthen as SHIB gains legitimacy through ETF structures. Greater exposure to SHIB would spotlight its ecosystem, drawing usage toward Shibarium.
Structural Advantage Over Rival Meme Coins
Unlike Dogecoin or PEPE, which lack scaling layers, Shiba Inu operates Shibarium as a live Layer 2 solution.
This gives BONE a structural advantage as the only gas token tied to an expanding infrastructure that could indirectly benefit from ETF flows.
