The Shiba Inu (SHIB) community is advocating for the launch of an Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) through a petition directed at Grayscale Investments. This initiative mirrors the SEC’s recent approval of Bitcoin ETFs, signaling a new era of possibility for cryptocurrency adoption.
Shiba Inu Community Petition to Grayscale
Members of the Shiba Inu ecosystem are actively petitioning Grayscale Investments, urging CEO Michael Sonnenshein to consider launching a SHIB ETF. The community argues that SHIB satisfies the Howey test, demonstrating it is not a security, thereby minimizing regulatory complexities for Grayscale. The petition highlights SHIB’s widespread popularity as evidence of market readiness for a spot SHIB ETF, aiming to broaden accessibility to Shiba Inu for investors across all levels.

Growing Support and Traction
The petition has gained momentum, garnering 671 signatures out of the required 1,000. The increasing support underscores the community’s determination to push for a SHIB ETF and its belief in the potential benefits it could bring to the broader crypto market.
The SEC’s recent approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs has ignited optimism within various cryptocurrency communities. With this success, supporters believe similar opportunities exist for other coins, including Shiba Inu. The approval of Bitcoin ETFs sets a precedent for potential ETFs tied to other cryptocurrencies, driving the SHIB community’s push for a dedicated ETF.

Expanding Possibilities: XRP and Ethereum ETFs
In addition to the SHIB ETF initiative, there has been growing interest in XRP and Ethereum ETFs within their respective communities. The XRP community has long advocated for an ETF, with Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse acknowledging the possibility of such a product. However, regulatory challenges persist, particularly evident in the SEC’s deliberation over Ethereum ETFs. The delay in Ethereum ETF approval highlights the complexities altcoins face in obtaining spot ETFs, especially those with existing futures ETFs.
