The Shiba Inu (SHIB) community is not backing down in its pursuit of a dedicated exchange-traded fund (ETF). The community recently started a petition on Change.org directed towards Grayscale Investments. The petition, which currently stands at 10,453 signatures, is heading quickly toward the 15,000 signature goal with 677 signatures today.
This surge in support highlights the enthusiasm surrounding SHIB within the cryptocurrency community. The petition’s rapid progress can be attributed to several factors. Firstly, the initial target of 1,000 signatures was surpassed quickly, prompting the organizers to raise the bar.

This momentum continued, and 10,000 was a significant milestone to show the community’s eagerness. The current target of 15,000 reflects the growing confidence in the community’s ability to achieve this goal.
Furthermore, community influencers like Heber Mayen have played a crucial role in promoting the petition, calling for the community to push the signatures past 10,000.
Grayscale’s Track Record
The Shiba Inu community’s focus on Grayscale is strategic. The company has established itself as a leader in developing cryptocurrency investment products, particularly Bitcoin ETFs. Grayscale’s persistent efforts to convert its Bitcoin Investment Trust into a spot ETF were finally successful in January 2024.
This achievement was a turning point for the crypto market and showcases Grayscale’s commitment to bringing innovative financial instruments to the market.
Building on this success, Grayscale has filed similar requests to convert Ethereum Trust into a spot ETF. This trend aligns with Grayscale’s plan to transform its 17 cryptocurrency investment trusts into spot ETFs.
The Potential Impact of a SHIB ETF
A SHIB ETF by Grayscale would be significant for the Shiba Inu ecosystem. An ETF would provide investors with a regulated and secure avenue to gain exposure to SHIB without the complexities of directly acquiring and managing the cryptocurrency itself. A SHIH ETF could attract a broader range of investors, leading to increased liquidity and potentially bolstering the value of SHIB.
