Highlights
Shiba Inu (SHIB), the dog-themed memecoin bagged a notable win as it got recognized by CF Benchmarks, one of the world’s leading digital asset index providers. Shiba Inu making it into CF Benchmarks’ Large Cap Asset Index signals growth on the part of the token.
The London-based company renowned for providing institutional-grade crypto benchmarks is notable for tracking high-ranking digital assets by market capitalization. CF Benchmarks offers insight into the viability of assets and for Shiba Inu to be on their radar is positive news.
Specifically, SHIB now joins other elite assets such as Bitcoin and Ethereum recognized by CF Benchmarks. This recognition bestows on Shiba Inu a sense of legitimacy previously lacking in the crypto world despite its huge number of Shiba Inu holders.
Notably, the inclusion on the CF Benchmarks index positions the token to be seen by a larger crop of institutional investors. Thus, investors looking to diversify their cryptocurrency exposure may look to SHIB, driving the buying demand and potentially stabilizing prices.
When this happens, the burn rate of the Shiba Inu ecosystem is likely to drop. The SHIB community uses burn rate to control supply and price depreciation with the latest burn rate surging remarkably to nearly 16,600%. This spike in burn rate occurred amid a sharp decline in SHIB price.
Other significance of Shiba Inu’s inclusion on the CF Benchmarks index include enhanced credibility and performance tracking by investors. As per credibility, the addition is a confidence booster to investors, both institutional and retail as it certifies SHIB’s project and its long-term potential.
Additionally, CF Benchmarks indices are relied upon by investment firms to track the performance of assets and determine the allocation of portfolios. The move signals that SHIB will be available for easier comparison with other large capitalization assets.
Shiba Inu’s inclusion besides being a win for the SHIB community is also a significant achievement for altcoins as institutional investors are now more likely to adopt them. Analysts believe it will drive the growth of altcoins to mirror those of Bitcoins.
