Petition for Shiba Inu (SHIB) ETF Surpasses 10,500 Signatures, Reflecting Strong Community Demand

According to CoinGape, the number of signatures supporting the Shiba Inu ETF petition on Change.org has now surpassed 10,500.

An ongoing petition to introduce a Shiba Inu (SHIB) Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) has garnered 10,596 signatures.

Michael Sonnenshein, the former CEO of Grayscale Investments, was petitioned on Change.org to consider pursuing an SHIB ETF.

It is important to note that the petition will celebrate its two-month anniversary on July 10. During this period, it has been receiving significant support from the Shiba Inu community. Additionally, the substantial quantity of signatures that have been affixed indicates a robust demand for the proposed rule change.

"We represent a collective of investors, digital currency aficionados, and proponents of the transformative potential of cryptocurrencies. Our varied experiences and backgrounds converge on a shared ambition: to broaden the availability of cryptocurrency investment options through trustworthy, regulated channels," the petition reads.

The petition's sponsors encouraged Grayscale to consider creating a Shiba Inu (SHIB) Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) based on pressure.

This request for a Shiba Inu ETF indicates that the community acknowledges the investment management firm's critical role in approving spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF products in the United States.

Grayscale consistently submitted requests to convert its Trust fund to an ETF, but the SEC denied that request. However, it extended its efforts by engaging the court and issuing a mandate to the Commission to evaluate its ETF application. Grayscale's Bitcoin ETF filing, in addition to ten other submissions, was ultimately approved by the SEC.

Grayscale and BlackRock Urged to Consider Shiba Inu (SHIB) ETF as Petition Gains Traction

Grayscale Investments intends to convert all 17 cryptocurrency-based products to ETFs. Shiba Inu's request is consistent with Grayscale's long-term objective, as indicated by this assertion. Grayscale still needs to address their request; however, the investment company may be compelled to respond promptly due to the increasing number of signatures on the petition.

In the same vein, Lucie, the marketing lead for Shiba Inu, also hinted at the possibility of BlackRock, a prominent Bitcoin ETF issuer, participating in the Shib ETF discourse. Lucie expressed her desire for the organization to comprehend SHIB's potential.

BlackRock needs to provide an official response to Shiba Inu, which is similar to Grayscale. In the long term, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is responsible for approving or rejecting any potential crypto ETF. It is essential to note this.
