Shiba Inu Expands to Solana via Sunrise Asset Gateway

Shiba Inu (SHIB), one of the largest meme coins in the crypto space, has expanded its reach to Solana via Sunrise. The update brings $SHIB's canonical form to Solana, allowing users to access and trade it directly within the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem without needing to leave. This move doesn't mean $SHIB is leaving Ethereum, as the original token remains an ERC-20 token on that blockchain.

Solana described Shiba Inu as 'one of the largest communities in crypto,' highlighting its growth beyond its origins as a meme cryptocurrency. The Solana debut was made possible by Wormhole Labs-powered Sunrise, which serves as an asset gateway to bring external assets onto Solana. This includes creating a canonical Solana token, provisioning liquidity, and integrating with wallets, DEXs, and aggregators.

The integration has significantly expanded $SHIB's on-chain trading options, but so far, it hasn't had a meaningful price response, with the meme cryptocurrency trading at around $0.0000057 at press time. This move follows other notable listings, including Monad's MON in November 2025 and Dogecoin's addition to Solana via Wormhole NTT in September.
