## What SHIB-USD is (background)

SHIB is the native token of the Shiba Inu ecosystem, an ERC-20 token on Ethereum; the "-USD" suffix simply denotes the quote currency (SHIB priced in US dollars) and is not part of the coin's name. It is not a listed company, equity, ETF, or security — there are no company filings, earnings, or share fundamentals. The ecosystem includes the Layer-2 chain Shibarium, plus the BONE (gas/governance) and LEASH tokens, and ShibaSwap [[14]](https://cryptoticker.io/en/shiba-inu-shibarium-rpc-switch-wallet/), [[23]](https://changelly.com/blog/what-is-shibarium/), [[25]](https://www.webopedia.com/crypto/learn/what-is-shibarium/). As of the latest snapshots, SHIB trades around $0.000005–$0.000006, with a market capitalization near $3.2–3.3 billion and a circulating supply of ~589.24 trillion tokens [[3]](https://cryptoticker.io/en/shiba-inu-price-prediction-shibarium-network-load/), [[11]](https://blockchain.news/news/20260929-price-prediction-shib-shibarium-ghost-town-and-a-struggling).
