The 2021 bull run turned many meme projects into household names, but none raised eyebrows quite like Shiba coin—better known by its ticker SHIB. Born as a self-proclaimed “Dogecoin Killer,” SHIB rocketed from an obscure <a href="/ja/price/ethereum-eth" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Ethereum</a> token to a multibillion-dollar phenomenon in just a few months. Yet few traders understand where <a href="/ja/price/shiba-inu-shib" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Shiba Inu crypto</a> came from, how it works, or why it still commands one of the largest communities in the blockchain space. Let’s unpack the origin story, tokenomics, and eco that keep SHIB coin barking loudly in 2025.
##The Anonymous Roots of Shiba Coin
In August 2020, an anonymous developer using the pseudonym Ryoshi deployed a simple ERC-20 contract on <a href="/ja/price/ethereum-eth" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Ethereum</a> and minted 1 quadrillion SHIB tokens. Half the supply was burned—sent to Vitalik Buterin’s wallet—while the remaining 500 trillion were locked into <a href="/ja/price/uniswap-uni" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Uniswap</a> to provide liquidity. Ryoshi’s manifesto framed Shiba coin as an “experiment in decentralized, spontaneous community building,” riffing on Dogecoin’s playful vibe but anchored on Ethereum’s smart-contract rails.
Within weeks, Reddit and Telegram groups dubbed SHIB token the next big meme. Yet the project’s traction only exploded in May 2021 when Vitalik burned 410 trillion SHIB (worth $7 billion at the time) and donated another chunk to India’s Covid-relief fund—making global headlines and cementing SHIB’s lore.
##From Meme to Multi-Token Eco
The <a href="/ja/price/shiba-inu-shib" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Shiba Inu</a> project now includes three native tokens, each with distinct roles:

| Token  |  Utility | Supply  |
| ------------ | ------------ | ------------ |
|  SHIB |  Main currency & governance; staked for “ShibaSwap” yields | 589 T max (approx.)  |
|  LEASH |  Scarcity token to reward early adopters; only 107 646 tokens exist |  107 K max |
| BONE  |  Governance token for Doggy DAO; gas on Shibarium L2 | 250 M max  |

By staking SHIB coin in ShibaSwap, holders earn BONE and a share of exchange fees, adding DeFi utility beyond meme trading.

##Shibarium – The Layer-2 Leap
Gas costs on Ethereum tarnished SHIB’s reputation as a “people’s coin.” Enter Shibarium, a Layer-2 built with Plasma-style rollup tech that settles back to Ethereum while slashing fees to fractions of a cent. Every transaction on Shibarium burns a small amount of SHIB token, introducing a deflationary mechanism that long-term holders believe will tighten supply and buoy <a href="/ja/price/shiba-inu-shib" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">SHIB price</a> over time.
Since main-net launch in early 2024, Shibarium processes roughly 380 K daily transactions—from NFT minting to micro-tipping in Shiba Communities. According to data aggregator Nansen, more than 32 billion SHIB have already been burned via Shibarium gas—a powerful narrative for those tracking Shiba coin burn rate.

##Key Milestones Fueling SHIB Hype
- Shiba Eternity Mobile Game (2023): Over 2 million downloads; in-app purchases partly convert to SHIB buy-backs.  
- Shiba DAO Vote (Q2 2024): Community approved a 1 % Shibarium fee hike, boosting weekly burns by 18 %.  
- Gate.io Listing of SHIB Perpetuals (Jan 2025): 20× leverage launched with zero maker fee promo, catapulting SHIB derivatives volume to the platform’s top five.

##Why SHIB Still Matters in 2025
1. Community Strength – SHIB’s Twitter and Telegram combined exceed four million members, providing unmatched meme momentum.  
2. Cross-Chain Expansion – Bridges to <a href="/ja/price/bnb-bnb" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">BNB</a> Chain and Arbitrum open liquidity pathways and yield farms for Shiba coin holders.  
3. Real-World Merch – Partnerships with fashion-brand John Richmond and payment processor
NOWPayments let users spend SHIB cryptocurrency at 1 000+ merchants.

##How to Buy and Stake SHIB on Gate.io
1. Create or log in to your Gate.io account.  
2. Navigate to <a href="/ja/trade/SHIB_USDT?ch=ann7288" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">SHIB/USDT</a> or SHIB/BTC; choose limit or market order.  
3. Transfer purchased tokens to Gate Earn → Shiba Pool to auto-<a href="/ja/price/compound-comp" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">compound</a> BONE rewards.  
4. Prefer self-custody? Withdraw SHIB to your MetaMask (Ethereum) or directly to Shibarium network for near-zero fees.

Gate.io frequently hosts Shiba Trading Battles and airdrop campaigns; holding at least 100 M SHIB can boost your prize-tier eligibility.

##Risks and Considerations
Despite its eco, Shiba coin remains highly speculative. Massive whale wallets—some holding trillions of SHIB—could spark volatility. Regulatory scrutiny of meme tokens also looms. Always monitor on-chain flows and take profits judiciously.

##Final Thoughts
From an anonymous experiment to a Layer-2-powered DeFi playground, <a href="/ja/price/shiba-inu-shib" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Shiba Inu crypto</a> shows how meme energy can bootstrap real infrastructure. Whether you’re here for the laughs, the burn mechanics, or the yield farming, SHIB token offers multiple angles of engagement—especially when traded or staked on Gate.io’s high-liquidity platform. As the “Dogecoin Killer” continues to evolve, only one question remains: will the next meme cycle crown SHIB the top dog?
