Shiba Inu Reveals Three Cool Things SHIB Achieved This Month

The Shiba Inu ecosystem has highlighted facts that have strengthened SHIB’s global presence and reinforced its legitimacy within the crypto market

While Shiba Inu has seen significant value erosion amid bearish sentiment, the token secured notable wins in areas such as regulatory approval, expanded market accessibility, and growing relevance in discussions around future exchange-traded products

3 ‘Cool Facts’ About Shiba Inu

SHIB Joins Japan’s Green List

According to marketing lead Lucie, one of the most significant milestones was SHIB’s addition to Japan’s prestigious Green List. This designation, issued by the Japan Virtual Currency Exchange Association (JVCEA), is reserved for assets that satisfy strict regulatory, security, and liquidity requirements.

Shiba Inu’s placement on this list, alongside leading assets such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, further elevates its credibility in one of the world’s most heavily regulated crypto markets.

It also enables Japanese exchanges to list the token with far fewer regulatory obstacles, increasing its accessibility to local investors.

In addition, SHIB’s presence on the Green List is expected to offer holders a notable tax advantage once approved by Japan’s Financial Services Agency (FSA).

Under the anticipated framework, SHIB investors would face a 20% tax rate rather than the current 55%, making the asset more appealing within the region

Coinbase Launches 24/7 Futures Trading for Shiba Inu

The second milestone highlighted by the team is Coinbase’s rollout of 24/7 trading support for SHIB futures. As previously reported, the major U.S. exchange introduced regulated Shiba Inu futures under the “1k SHIB index.”

This development integrates Shiba Inu more deeply into institutional trading environments, granting traders continuous access and boosting SHIB’s visibility within global futures markets. The move signals growing institutional interest and maturing markets for the asset.

Lucie emphasized that this milestone puts Shiba Inu on a regulatory trajectory similar to that of Bitcoin and Ethereum, both of which have secured spot ETFs. This fueled speculation that SHIB may eventually receive its own spot ETF.

Shiba Inu Appears in Early Discussions About Spot ETF

Notably, Shiba Inu has secured an exchange-traded product (ETP) in Europe and is likely to be included in the T. Rowe Price basket ETF in the U.S. However, the asset has yet to get a standalone ETF in the United States

Meanwhile, speculation about the imminent launch of an exclusive Shiba Inu ETF began circulating after Grayscale highlighted SHIB among the crypto assets eligible for approval under the U.S. SEC’s Generic Listing Standard. Lucie attributes this feat to the cryptocurrency’s massive community and ecosystem growth
