Shiba Inu just made a serious move outside the meme coin box. $SHIB has gone cross-chain through Chainlink’s CCIP, and it’s now listed on Folks Finance.
This makes SHIB the first memecoin to hit cross-chain lending markets. Holders can deposit or borrow SHIB across different chains from one unified pool. Liquidity fragmentation has always been a pain point in DeFi, and this setup actually fixes it. Incentives are already live for depositors.
I’ll be real with you — this is the kind of step that gives a meme coin utility, not just hype. When you’ve got a token moving across chains with deep liquidity, it starts looking less like a joke and more like infrastructure.
Here’s the official announcement from Shiba Inu:

Why this matters for SHIB
- First mover advantage: no other memecoin is in cross-chain lending yet.
- Utility boost: lending, borrowing, and real yield opportunities give SHIB more use cases.
- Bigger adoption: CCIP makes SHIB available across chains, pulling in DeFi users who don’t normally touch meme coins.
I’ve covered dog coins for years, and this feels like one of those shifts you can’t ignore. SHIB isn’t just living off branding anymore. It’s finding ways to stay relevant as DeFi grows.
