A gas token for the upcoming Shibarium Layer-2 blockchain, BONE, was listed on the Gate.io exchange. Immediately after that, the asset began to grow and rose from $1.8673 to a peak of $2.0457, gaining 9.55%. Such a jump helped the asset get into the top 100 in terms of market capitalization. We’ll discuss below whether this will boost the listing on other platforms.

What is BONE and what are the project’s goals?

BONE is the governance token for the ShibaSwap decentralized exchange and the gas token for the upcoming Shibarium Layer-2 blockchain. With it, the ShibArmy is able to vote on proposals. The more tokens the user has, the more weight their vote carries in these endeavors.

The BONE token was created by Shibarium developers and released at the same time that ShibaSwap launched in July 2021. Currently, BONE, SHIB, and LEASH come together to create ShibaSwap, which, according to the plan, should become “the next evolution in DeFi platforms.”

“The goal is much bigger than you imagine. Our goal is for the entire crypto community to agree that they need BONE. Our goal is to attract millions of people to invest in BONE,” the token’s developers said.

As they also said, Shibarium will create this potential. According to the plan, Shibarium aims to improve the Shiba Inu ecosystem by providing scalability, faster transactions at a lower cost, and lower fees. Some sources say that the Shibarium team is currently preparing for the beta release.

BONEfire: listing on the Gate.io and top-100 by market cap

The upcoming listing, which was announced at Gate.io, allowed Bone to stay on track even as Bitcoin fell below $24K. The sudden fall came due to the crash on Wall Street. The three most popular US stock market indexes all closed in the minus. The S&P 500 and the Dow Jones fell by 2% in 24 hours, while the Nasdaq Composite fell by more than 3%.

Thus, SHIBARMY could hold the BONE price at $1.9. Crypto enthusiast Sagnik suggests that the creator of Shiba Inu, known on the internet as Shytoshi Kusama, may now be waiting for the bull run “to ride the tide and push it even further.”

Market data shows that the token’s market cap rose 1,33% in the last 24 hours. Over the past three days, the figure has increased by 20,22%, from $387.3M to $465.6M, placing the asset in the top 100 by market capitalization.

Current BONE price and where to buy the token

At the time of writing, the asset is trading at $1.96, up 1,98% from the day before.

The token’s historical price high came on November 3, 2021, which was triggered by the general growth of the cryptocurrency market. At that time, the asset was trading at $3.2345. So, if you had bought BONE at the time of its release, you would have earned 3,1 more at the peak. And if you had held on until now, your investment would have fallen 1,8 times.

As for buying BONE, there are 14 other exchanges besides Gate.io, where the asset was recently added for trading, according to CoinGecko. Among them: ShibaSwap, BTCEX, MEXC Global, Uniswap, BitMart, Bitget, BKEX, BingX, BIT, CoinEx, Biconomy, DigFinex, Hotbit, and Kanga.

The cheapest BONE token you can buy on the Hotbit exchange is paired with USDT for $1.37. However, over the past 24 hours, market participants traded the asset the most on the MEXC Global platform, also paired with Tether’s Stablecoin. Trading volume was $6,542,577. On that exchange, BONE is worth $1.95.

As for Gate.io, only $278,755 worth of BONE has been bought and sold since its launch. On the exchange, the token is traded in pairs with USDT and costs $1.96.

Will there be another listing of BONE and where?

Being in the top 100 by market capitalization does not guarantee a listing, but it does not exclude it either. The launch of Shibarium may increase the chance that this event will occur. And though it is not clear yet when exactly this will happen, users in the network are already speculating and urging exchanges to pay attention to BONE.

For example, crypto and NFT creator Lucie urges the Coinbase exchange to list BONE to support upcoming bridge to Shibarium.

A member of the Shiba Inu ecosystem team named Lady Crypto tried to draw the attention of the Crypto.com exchange.

SHIBARMY participant Devraj Paul made a post with an appeal to Huobi.

The BONE token community participants, in turn, apparently believe that their token will be listed on Binance, therefore, they have already run various giveaways to attract the attention of exchanges and users.
