What is SHIB?

Shiba Inu is a community-driven DeFi ecosystem, created anonymously in August 2020 by a person or group known as "Ryoshi". Its native token, SHIB (pronounced "Shh-ib"), was launched as part of an "experiment in decentralized community building" and has since fueled the expansion of Shiba Inu into a multi-token ecosystem.

What is the Shiba Inu ecosystem?

The Shiba Inu ecosystem extends beyond the SHIB token to include additional tokens like LEASH and BONE, as well as the ShibaSwap platform, a decentralized exchange where users can trade and stake tokens. The ecosystem also includes Shibarium, a Layer 2 blockchain solution designed to reduce transaction fees and increase speed. The community has expanded into NFTs with Shiboshi collectibles, and is developing a metaverse project called SHIB: The Metaverse.

Shiba Inu operates on the Ethereum blockchain as an ERC-20 token, benefiting from Ethereum's vast, secure, public ledger that records every transaction.

SHIB market moves

Powered by MetaMask Market Insights


24h change: +4.30%. From $0.00000443 to $0.00000462.

  • On-chain data indicates over 44 billion SHIB tokens were withdrawn from exchanges in a recent 24-hour window. This negative netflow reduces immediate selling pressure as holders move assets to private custody. It occurs while the price remains range-bound with minor daily fluctuations. The metric matters because sustained outflows can support long-term holder conviction and limit available supply for traders.
  • The Shibarium network explorer has shifted behind Cloudflare with DNS updates and is running in a standard deployment. Recent reports note transaction counts falling from prior highs but attribute part of the change to incomplete indexing. Security and codebase improvements continue from prior periods. These changes matter for the layer-2 network's reliability, speed, and ability to support broader ecosystem applications over time.
  • Regulators in Japan placed SHIB on the Green List alongside Bitcoin and Ethereum. The move occurred in late July 2026 and eases certain exchange listing requirements. It reflects growing regulatory clarity for established tokens. This development matters as it can reduce uncertainty for businesses, developers, and institutions evaluating the SHIB ecosystem and Shibarium infrastructure.

24h change: -1.20%. From $0.00000447 to $0.00000442.

  • On August 12, community channels including Shibburn warned SHIB holders against approving unexpected wallet permissions or signing suspicious transactions. This follows increased DeFi exploits observed in 2026. The guidance emphasizes verifying all interactions independently to safeguard assets in self-custody wallets. Such alerts highlight persistent risks in interacting with decentralized applications and contracts.
  • On-chain data from August 12 showed whales increasing holdings in non-exchange addresses as exchange balances declined. SHIB defended key support near $0.0000046, a Fibonacci level, despite broader pressure. Futures open interest rose alongside signals of reduced immediate selling pressure. Analysts watch for a potential move above resistance if accumulation continues.
  • Shibarium daily transactions spiked 507 percent to 4,480 on August 9 before falling sharply to 831. The pattern of repeated surges and fades points to inconsistent user engagement on the layer-2 network. Developers continue work on upgrades including privacy features using fully homomorphic encryption. This activity occurs alongside ongoing token burns tied to network transactions.

24h change: +0.80%. From $0.00000443 to $0.00000447.

  • Daily transactions on Shibarium rose from 738 on August 8 to 4,480 on August 9, marking a 507 percent increase and a one-month high. Activity then fell back sharply to 831 transactions on August 10. This pattern of brief spikes without sustained growth highlights ongoing challenges for consistent network usage, which supports utility, fees, and potential token burns in the SHIB ecosystem.
  • Robinhood is rolling out cryptocurrency trading in the UK through Bitstamp, adding SHIB along with over 50 other tokens for eligible customers. The expansion increases mainstream accessibility for retail users in the region. It forms part of a broader effort to bring more digital assets to traditional platforms.
  • The official SHIB burn account or associated team issued an alert about unexpected wallet connection requests targeting the community. These appear to be phishing or scam attempts. The warning reminds users to verify sources and avoid unauthorized interactions when managing tokens or engaging with the ecosystem.

24h change: -3.20%. From $0.0000046 to $0.00000445.

  • Robinhood is rolling out trading for more than 50 cryptocurrencies including SHIB to eligible UK customers. The service is delivered through Bitstamp UK, which it acquired, and features zero trading fees inside the main Robinhood app. This increases availability for UK users and forms part of broader efforts to integrate crypto into everyday investment platforms.
  • On-chain data showed the number of SHIB holders fell by 1,424 addresses on August 6 before partially recovering to around 1,678,300. The token maintains its position around 30th by market capitalization. This comes alongside a 3.97 percent price decline and a 9.31 percent increase in 24-hour trading volume.
  • Reports indicate small SHIB burns such as 4.71 million tokens recently removed. The Shibarium layer-2 network supports automated burning on transactions through mechanisms like ShibTorch. With a total supply near 589 trillion, these burns have limited immediate effect but remain a community focus.

24h change: -0.30%. From $0.00000464 to $0.00000463.

  • Shibburn reported that 10.68 million SHIB were burned over 24 hours on August 9, driving the burn rate up 439.79 percent from the prior period. This adds to 3.36 billion tokens burned in the past 30 days and a cumulative total exceeding 410 trillion SHIB removed since launch. Activity ties into Shibarium network transactions that support ongoing burns through tools like the community burn portal. These deflationary steps are a core part of the SHIB ecosystem design that holders monitor for effects on long-term supply.
  • On-chain data tracked 110.59 billion SHIB withdrawn from exchanges in a single day, resulting in negative netflow. This indicates tokens moving into private custody rather than immediate sale. Combined with burn activity, these metrics point to reduced near-term selling pressure according to analysts tracking the figures. Such flows are one data point the community reviews alongside price action and ecosystem updates.
  • Japanese regulators added SHIB to the JVCEA Green List alongside major assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum. The July move eases certain listing and compliance requirements for exchanges. It represents a notable regulatory development for the token in a key Asian market. This fits into broader ecosystem efforts that include Shibarium layer two scaling and burn integrations.
