Kraken Pro, a major U.S.-based exchange, has unveiled its latest development: the addition of new margin pairs, with a spotlight on Shiba Inu (SHIB), the renowned meme-inspired cryptocurrency.

美国主要交易所 Kraken Pro 公布了其最新进展：增加了新的保证金对，其中重点关注柴犬 (SHIB)，这是一种著名的受模因启发的加密货币。

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现可在Kraken Pro上进行保证金交易，与美元配对，最大杠杆设置为3，多头和空头头寸上限为15亿SHIB。 SHIB 被描述为一种基于以太坊的模因币，其灵感来自狗狗币，SHIB 于 2020 年由化名开发者 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，该项目的创建是为了回答一个问题：如果一个加密货币项目 100% 由其社区运营，会发生什么？

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.

四年后，这个反问可以得到某种答案。因此，截至目前，柴犬代币是加密货币市场上第 11 大资产，市值约为 134.9 亿美元。更重要的是，柴犬生态系统还出现了 BONE 和 LEASH 等其他几种加密货币，它们的总市值也约为 1.8 亿美元。

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 是专为 Shiba Inu 设计的第 2 层 EVM 区块链解决方案。该项目于 2023 年 8 月启动，自那时起已锁定总价值 246 万美元。至于Shiba Inu的网络区块链统计数据，有105,393个账户、179万个地址、41552万笔已完成的交易以及2,265个经过验证的智能合约。

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.

如果回答一个加密货币项目 100% 由社区运营会发生什么的问题，该项目很可能会演变成比狗启发的模因币更大的东西。

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.

以柴犬为例，它已经发展成为一个成熟的生态系统，其主要代币 SHIB 被多个大型平台接受作为支付手段，同时拥有数十亿的市值，并且仍有增长空间在主要交易所上市。
