- Shiba Inu is preparing to launch its stablecoin, SHI, aiming to boost the project’s ecosystem.
- The SHI stablecoin is under development and has not been released yet.
- Developers are waiting for clear regulatory guidance from U.S. authorities before the launch.
- The stablecoin is designed to provide greater utility and support for DeFi within the Shibarium network.
- Recent U.S. regulatory steps may accelerate SHI’s arrival, according to project representatives.
Shiba Inu is advancing its plans to introduce SHI, a stablecoin created to strengthen its ecosystem and attract more users. The token’s development team has stated that SHI is still being finalized and is not yet available to the public. The upcoming launch aims to provide a more stable gateway for users engaging with the Shibarium blockchain and related decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms.
A spokesperson from the Shiba Inu team explained on social media that SHI could serve as a “game-changer” for the token’s use cases, expanding its role in lending, borrowing, and yield farming activities. According to the team, “The SHI stablecoin is a crucial development within the Shib ecosystem, currently in the works and not yet released. Its introduction is expected to significantly enhance the Shibarium network.” The stablecoin concept was originally introduced in 2021 by Ryoshi, Shiba Inu’s founder, to act as a decentralized form of digital currency.
Project lead developer Shytoshi Kusama and engineer Kaal Dhairya both stated the launch has been delayed as they perform thorough testing. Kaal Dhairya noted that “SHI is still under development and undergoing rigorous testing.” The timeline for SHI’s release depends on ongoing regulatory developments within the United States.
Dhairya has emphasized that clear regulations on stablecoins are necessary for the launch. In an update shared in April 2025, he said that formal guidance from U.S. lawmakers could speed up the process. Details about these regulatory plans remain linked to the progress of the GENIUS Act, which could soon remove obstacles for SHI’s debut.
Project representatives believe the SHI stablecoin could attract users who are cautious about cryptocurrency’s price swings, potentially expanding Shiba Inu’s reach. While no firm launch date has been announced, project members state that the stablecoin could be released soon if regulatory conditions permit.
