美國主要交易所 Kraken Pro 公佈了其最新進展：增加了新的保證金對，其中重點關注柴犬 (SHIB)，這是一種著名的受模因啟發的加密貨幣。

SHIB will now be available for margin trading on Kraken Pro, paired against the U.S. dollar, with a maximum leverage set at three and a cap of 1.5 billion SHIB for long and short positions. Described as an Ethereum-based meme coin inspired by Dogecoin, SHIB emerged in 2020 under the pseudonymous developer Ryoshi.

SHIB現可在Kraken Pro上進行保證金交易，與美元配對，最大槓桿設定為3，多頭和空頭部位上限為15億SHIB。 SHIB 被描述為一種基於以太坊的迷因幣，其靈感來自狗狗幣，SHIB 於 2020 年由化名開發者 Ryoshi 推出。

As the announcement cites, the project was created as a response to a single question: What would happen if a cryptocurrency project was 100% run by its community?

正如公告所述，該專案的創建是為了回答一個問題：如果一個加密貨幣專案 100% 由其社區運營，會發生什麼？

Rise of Shiba Inu (SHIB)

柴犬的崛起 (SHIB)

Four years later, some sort of answer can be given to this rhetorical question. Thus, as of now, Shiba Inu token stands as the 11th biggest asset on the crypto market, with a market capitalization of approximately $13.49 billion. More to the point, the Shiba Inu ecosystem is also presented with several other cryptocurrencies like BONE and LEASH, which also gather collectively about $180 million in market cap.

四年後，這個反問可以得到某種答案。因此，截至目前，柴犬代幣是加密貨幣市場上第 11 大資產，市值約 134.9 億美元。更重要的是，柴犬生態系統還出現了 BONE 和 LEASH 等其他幾種加密貨幣，它們的總市值也約為 1.8 億美元。

Adding to this is Shibarium, a layer-2 EVM blockchain solution designed for Shiba Inu. The project was launched in August 2023 and since then has gained $2.46 million in total value locked. As for Shiba Inu's network blockchain stats, there are 105,393 accounts, 1.79 million addresses, 415.52 million completed transactions, and 2,265 verified smart-contracts.

除此之外，Shibarium 是專為 Shiba Inu 設計的第 2 層 EVM 區塊鏈解決方案。該計畫於 2023 年 8 月啟動，自那時起已鎖定總價值 246 萬美元。至於Shiba Inu的網路區塊鏈統計數據，有105,393個帳戶、179萬個地址、41552萬筆已完成的交易以及2,265個經過驗證的智能合約。

Answering the question as to what would happen if a cryptocurrency project was 100% run by its community, the project is likely to evolve into something bigger than just a dog-inspired meme coin.

如果回答一個加密貨幣項目 100% 由社區運營會發生什麼的問題，該項目很可能會演變成比狗啟發的模因幣更大的東西。

In the unique case of Shiba Inu, it has evolved into a full-fledged ecosystem, with its main token, SHIB, being accepted as a means of payment across several big platforms, while commanding billions in market cap, and still having room to grow with new listings on major exchanges.

以柴犬為例，它已經發展成為一個成熟的生態系統，其主要代幣 SHIB 被多個大型平台接受作為支付手段，同時擁有數十億的市值，並且仍有增長空間在主要交易所上市。
