Potential Shibarium Launch Might Birth The Listing Of BONE Token On Binance

Per multiple findings, Binance is purportedly considering the listing of the Shiba Inu ecosystem token BONE on its trading platform. However, a potential BONE listing on Binance would depend primarily on how fast and well the Shibarium mainnet launch would be.

According to the lead Shiba Inu developer, Shytoshi Kusama, the Shibarium launch is imminent,  possibly playing out in August during the Blockchain Futurist Conference. 

Notably, the recently released Shibarium testnet PuppyNet launch was enough for BONE to earn listings on standard exchanges like Huobi, Crypto.com, and OKX. However, Binance, with its high operating standard, is suspending the likelihood of listing BONE until after Shibarium is successfully launched.
