In 2021, Shibu Inu "barked" the most, becoming the dog-themed crypto's alpha. Shiba INU (SHIB), Leash (Leash), and Bone (Bone) are the three tokens that make up the Shiba Inu ecosystem (BONE). The Shiba Inu ecosystem's most significant component is the SHIB token.
LEASH and BONE are part of the Shiba Inu ecosystem, one of the most popular meme coins. LEASH, also known as "Doge Killer," is designed to incentivize liquidity providers (LPs). Created initially as a rebase token (stablecoin), it is now "released" from any underpinning asset. BONE is touted as the potential governance DAO token for Shiba Inu's community, the very aptly named ShibaArmy.
"It may seem bizarre to many serious investors how meme tokens can easily grab the spotlight in crypto space. However, I would argue that these meme tokens explored another frontier of community movement, amassed by collective fondness, developed by community creativity, and contributed to by borderless participants. All of whom are utterly spontaneous and full of surprises." noted Toya Zhang, Chief Marketing Officer of bit.com.
