In 2025, both parties collaborated to launch the COCORO token on the Base network.She stated that the profits obtained from the aforementioned projects will be used to care for her pet family members and support animal protection public welfare activities carried out by withkabosu.

Grayscale Investments has listed Shiba Inu as one of the cryptocurrencies that meet the listing requirements for a U.S. spot exchange-traded fund (ETF). Grayscale mentioned this in a recent blog post titled "Market Byte: Here Come the Altcoins." Following the launch of Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, Grayscale acknowledged that the process for launching similar ETF products for altcoins like Shiba Inu has been streamlined.The report indicates that the launch of the first Bitcoin spot exchange-traded product (ETP) took over a decade— from the initial proposal in 2013 to final approval in January 2024. However, the "Generic Listing Standards" (GLS) framework approved by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has now accelerated the launch of cryptocurrency exchange-traded products (ETPs).

ChainCatcher news, according to The Block, Shibarium developers stated that they are preparing to restart the Ethereum cross-chain bridge for the platform and are formulating a compensation plan to reimburse users who suffered losses due to an emergency shutdown triggered by a vulnerability earlier this month.The team's latest post-mortem analysis indicated that all validator keys have been rotated, over 100 ecosystem contracts have been migrated to secure wallets, and 4.6 million BONE tokens have been recovered from the attackers' contracts within days of the attack. According to a community update on September 17, the attackers stole approximately $4.1 million worth of ETH, SHIB, and 15 other tokens from the bridge. Shortly after the attack was discovered, Shibarium developer Kaal Dhairya stated on X that they had contacted the relevant authorities, but the team was willing to engage in "good faith" negotiations with the attackers, offering a reward of 50 ETH, which was worth about $225,000 at the time, if the stolen funds were returned.

ChainCatcher message, the cross-chain bridge Shibarium connecting the Layer2 network Shibarium with Ethereum was previously attacked by a flash loan, resulting in approximately $2.4 million worth of ETH and SHIB being stolen. Currently, Shibarium has released a security incident update, which states:Specific bridging operations have been restricted to prevent new unauthorized transactions;Upgraded and restricted paths that could be abused (deposit/withdrawal/claim/reward), and added targeted defensive controls to prevent abuse of delegated staking;Restored and protected BONE at risk held by staking managers, with short-term BONE staking by attackers being intervened and effectively limited by protocol mechanisms;Rotated validator signers, migrating contract control to multi-party hardware custody; continuing extensive migration from legacy keys;Real-time monitoring of attacker traffic; automatically alerting partners and exchanges and reporting;Engaged independent security researchers, incident response companies, and relevant departments.

ChainCatcher news, according to The Block, the Shibarium cross-chain bridge connecting Layer 2 networks and Ethereum was hacked, resulting in a loss of $2.4 million. The developers have suspended staking, unstaking, and related processes to rotate and protect the validator keys.The attacker borrowed 4.6 million BONE tokens (the governance token of Shibarium) through a flash loan and seemingly obtained 10 out of 12 validator signing keys used to secure the network, thereby gaining a two-thirds majority. The attacker then exploited their privileged position to steal approximately 224.57 ETH and 92.6 billion SHIB from the Shibarium bridge contract and transferred these funds to their own address. At current prices, these funds are worth about $2.4 million.In response to the attack, Shiba Inu developers suspended staking and unstaking functions on the network, effectively freezing the borrowed BONE tokens (which have already been affected by unstaking delays) and causing the attacker to lose majority control. The attacker also acquired a large amount of K9 (KNINE) tokens (related to K9 Finance), valued at about $700,000. When the attacker attempted to sell KNINE, the K9 Finance DAO intervened and blacklisted the attacker's address, preventing the sale of these tokens.
