Welcome to Doggy Bytes, where we check in on the latest ripples across the Shib Army and the wider crypto pack. The ecosystem’s buzzing with the community staying active and vocal. Whether it’s Welly showing the grind continues, SHIB trending across X, or new perpetuals making waves, the energy is real and unrelenting. This is more than crypto — it’s a testament to the pack’s resilience, creativity, and commitment. Every post, every move, every discussion is a reminder: the Shib Army isn’t just watching, it’s building and staying loud.
Time to sniff out the alpha. This is where we dig into the week’s biggest moves: the ecosystem updates that actually matter, the community wins worth barking about, and the moments that show this thing has legs (all four of them).
Let’s get into it.
The pack sent a clear message. Shib Army OG Dhel flagged SHIB’s complete capture of the trending throne, a campaign fueled by 19,000 posts. That level of coordinated social volume isn’t idle chatter; it’s a show of force that reshapes the market’s narrative and puts every other asset on notice.
SHIB is officially getting its pinstripe suit. Coinbase just announced it’s adding Shiba Inu to its slate of new derivatives products launching this December. Starting December 5, traders will get access to monthly SHIB futures, followed by US perpetual-style futures on December 12. This move by Coinbase Derivatives puts SHIB on the same institutional-grade playing field as assets like Avalanche and Chainlink. It’s a critical piece of market infrastructure, creating a regulated on-ramp for sophisticated capital and advanced trading strategies.
Welly just dropped a receipt from a takeaway order with the caption: “the charts are going down yet Welly is still operating.” Classic reminder: the pack keeps moving, no matter what the charts say. See the original X post.
Here’s a data point that should worry the bears. The recent market dip failed to trigger a panic; it triggered an accumulation event. The on-chain census confirms the SHIB holder count just pushed to a new high of 1,552,780. While the price chart registered a dip, the holder chart is building a much stronger foundation. See on-chain details.
Mad2big just dropped a meme on X poking fun at the markets: BTC taking a nosedive while SHIB is just chilling, untouched. The joke? The charts move, the pack HODL and stays. See the post.
Gemini just shook things up: new Perpetuals are live. You can go long or short on SHIB and more, up to 100x leverage (subject to availability) and no expiry. Big moves, big risk, big fun. Original X post.
Now for the numbers. This is where we see how the ecosystem actually performed this week. Charts don’t lie, so let’s see what they’re saying.
Shibarium keeps showing its strength. So far, 1.546 billion transactions have moved across 272.768 million addresses, supported by 30.206K smart contracts. BONE transfers are holding steady at 4.694 million, with 2.863K transactions processed in the last 24 hours alone. Nearly 294.541K accounts are actively participating, proving the network isn’t just running, it’s thriving. This is more than numbers — it’s a living, breathing ecosystem built to scale, endure, and keep the Shib Army moving forward.
DAI is the top gainer this week for ShibaSwap on Ethereum.
Time to give credit where it’s due. This week, some people in the community really showed up: creators making things people want to share, and community members pulling off moves that benefit the whole ecosystem. This is the stuff that keeps things interesting. Let’s see who made the cut.
The pack sent a clear message. Shib Army OG Dhel flagged SHIB’s complete capture of the trending throne, a campaign fueled by 19,000 posts. That level of coordinated social volume isn’t idle chatter; it’s a show of force that reshapes the market’s narrative and puts every other asset on notice.
Poloniex Exchange just gave a Shib Army OG Dhel some love. They shared a video of his artwork, thanking him for the support. Cute, creative, and community first.
ChewySwap just dropped a major quality-of-life upgrade for Shibarium’s liquidity providers. Their new tool tackles a common DeFi headache, creating a single dashboard to manage all LP positions. Users can now create and add to LPs on any v2 DEX on the network from one interface. With more advanced features like LP removal and concentrated liquidity management already in the pipeline, this is a serious move to streamline the on-chain experience for Shibarium users.
