The Shiba Inu community is gearing up for important developments as December 2025 approaches, with several key updates on the horizon for the SHIB project. According to a recent tweet from Lucie, a member of the Shiba Inu team, the NYSE Arca has initiated a rule change filing for the T. Rowe Price Active Crypto ETF, which includes SHIB. This filing could potentially accelerate the launch of the T. Rowe crypto ETF.
Lucie”s comments suggest that the inclusion of Shiba Inu in this crypto ETF indicates a growing recognition of regulated products treating SHIB as a core component of the cryptocurrency basket. Additionally, the launch of a mini-app for Shiba Inu on TokenPlay AI marks a significant integration of SHIB into the AI ecosystem, utilizing the Token OS to convert any token into an intelligent, monetizable application.
Looking ahead, Coinbase is set to introduce Shiba Inu perpetual style futures in the U.S. on December 12, with 24/7 trading for monthly futures commencing on December 5. This addition to the trading landscape reflects the increasing interest and utilization of SHIB in various financial products.
Furthermore, progress is being made on Zama“s implementation of Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) for Shibarium, aimed at providing full on-chain privacy and confidential smart contracts for Shibarium and Bone by the end of Q2 2026.
As of the latest market data, SHIB is down 4.14% over the last 24 hours, trading at $0.00000849, and has experienced a decline of 15.17% in November. With Shiba Inu potentially facing its third consecutive red month in Q4, there are growing expectations for a relief rally as December unfolds.
Historical trends indicate that Shiba Inu has previously seen sharp rallies following extended periods of decline, such as a 144% increase in March 2024. Remarkably, this year marked the first red October for SHIB since its inception, challenging long-standing narratives. While December has typically been a disappointing month for SHIB, the shift in historical trends could support the possibility of a positive performance this December.
The emergence of Shiba Inu”s first-ever weekly cross might hint at a potential price bottom for SHIB in the near future. However, for Shiba Inu to close positively in 2025, it would need to climb approximately 65% from its current value.
