About Shiba Inu (SHIB/USD)
Shiba Inu launched anonymously in August 2020, explicitly positioning itself as the 'Dogecoin killer.' Its total supply started at one quadrillion tokens, half of which were sent to Vitalik Buterin, who subsequently burned most of them, a supply event that made headlines and established SHIB's community burn culture. The project has since launched ShibaSwap, a decentralised exchange, and Shibarium, an Ethereum layer-2 network designed to reduce transaction fees for the SHIB ecosystem. SHIB's price operates on fractional-cent territory, meaning percentage moves look different from higher-priced assets. Sentiment, social media trends, and community-organised burn events remain dominant price drivers. SHIB/USD on StoicFX is a CFD, no tokens are held or transferred.
Key Price Drivers

FAQ
What makes Shiba Inu different from other meme coins?
Unlike many single-purpose meme tokens, Shiba Inu has built an ecosystem around the SHIB token, including ShibaSwap (a decentralised exchange), Shibarium (a layer-2 blockchain), and BONE and LEASH as companion tokens. Whether this infrastructure translates to durable utility is debated, but it distinguishes SHIB from tokens with no development activity.
Why does SHIB trade at fractions of a cent?
Shiba Inu launched with a supply of one quadrillion tokens, an intentionally vast number. Even after significant burns, the circulating supply remains in the hundreds of trillions. The low per-token price is a direct consequence of this supply design, not an indicator of lower value relative to the market cap. Traders should evaluate SHIB on percentage moves and market capitalisation rather than nominal price.
What is Shibarium and how could it affect SHIB's value?
Shibarium is a layer-2 blockchain built on top of Ethereum, designed to process SHIB ecosystem transactions at lower cost. A portion of transaction fees on Shibarium is directed toward SHIB burns, theoretically creating a demand-and-supply link between network usage and token supply reduction. Higher Shibarium adoption could therefore accelerate the burn rate, which the community views as a positive price catalyst.
If I trade SHIB/USD on StoicFX, do I hold any Shiba Inu tokens?
No. SHIB/USD on StoicFX is a Contract for Difference. Your position tracks the price of SHIB against USD without any token being purchased, stored, or burned on your behalf. You have no claim to SHIB tokens or participation in burn programmes through a CFD.
