Dogecoin Opens The Floodgates: Here’s The Update On Shiba Inu And BONK ETFs

Trusted Editorial content, reviewed by leading industry experts and seasoned editors. Ad Disclosure

Dogecoin’s entry into the ETF market has changed the tone of the entire meme-coin sector, possibly opening the door for the likes of Shiba Inu and BONK. What began as a community hype token is now tied to a fully regulated product, and that achievement has pushed attention toward other popular meme coins. BONK and Shiba Inu are now the next names being discussed as institutions explore broader exposure to alternative cryptocurrencies.

BONK Moves Ahead With A Fully Listed ETP In Europe

Although the early inflows into Dogecoin’s ETF launch have been largely more underwhelming than what most expect, the establishment of an exchange-traded product for the king of meme coins opens up conversations about other meme coins. 

BONK is a standout example, taking a decisive step forward with the launch of an exchange-traded product tied to the meme coin on the SIX Swiss Exchange. The debut immediately led to an intraday rally as traders reacted to the token gaining a presence on one of Europe’s most established regulated markets. 

SIX is Switzerland’s largest and Europe’s third-largest stock exchange. Therefore, the ETP gives investors access to BONK without having to manage custody themselves, making it far easier for traditional market participants to gain exposure.

This development builds on BONK’s rising activity within the Solana ecosystem. Its trading volume and market capitalization have been climbing for weeks, and the ETP adds a form of legitimacy rarely given to meme coins. BONK now joins a very small group of community hype tokens that have crossed into regulated investment territory, giving it a stronger foundation as demand from new classes of investors grows.

The new BONK ETP was issued by Bitcoin Capital, a firm known for launching multiple cryptocurrency ETPs across major European markets. “With the Bonk ETP now listed on SIX Swiss Exchange, investing in Bonk has never been easier. Investors don’t need crypto expertise; they can trade Bonk just like any other stock. We’re making community-driven digital assets accessible to everyone, while meeting high security and regulatory standards,” added Marcel Niederberger, CEO of Bitcoin Capital 

Shiba Inu Attracting Institutional Interest

Shiba Inu has not yet secured an exchange-traded product of its own, but the token is steadily carving out its place in the wider fund landscape as major institutions begin weaving it into their early product designs. Even as Shibarium’s activity has cooled in recent weeks, SHIB is still part of broader conversations about regulated exposure.

One of the clearest examples comes from T. Rowe Price, a heavyweight in traditional finance with more than $1.7 trillion in assets under management. The firm recently submitted a filing for an actively managed crypto ETF that lists SHIB among its holdings.

Shiba Inu also appeared in Grayscale’s assessment of cryptocurrencies viewed as structurally viable for future spot-ETF models. These developments indicate that long-term positioning for Shiba Inu is becoming stronger as institutions evaluate which assets fit into their next generation of crypto funds.
