Following the announcement, Lucie, the marketing lead for the Shiba Inu ecosystem, welcomed the move as a positive step for the crypto industry. She expressed her desire for the government to eventually broaden the reserve’s scope to include Shiba Inu ecosystem tokens. Proponents believe that government backing could significantly enhance SHIB’s market credibility and drive its long-term value, as seen with XRP in previous discussions.
The discussion around expanding the reserve is expected to gain further clarity in the coming weeks. David Sacks, the White House official overseeing AI and crypto policy, hinted that more details will emerge during the upcoming Crypto Summit scheduled for March 7. This summit, where key members of the Trump administration will discuss digital asset regulation, could provide crucial insights into whether additional cryptocurrencies like SHIB and BONE might be included in the reserve.
In parallel, the Shiba Inu team is actively working to enhance the token’s legitimacy within the broader financial sector. Recently, they launched a campaign urging investment firms to consider filing for a SHIB-backed ETF, a move that could further solidify institutional confidence in the token and drive its price higher over the long term.
