u.today reports that Shiba Inu (SHIB) recorded immediate price gains following its official listing on the Solana blockchain. The canonical version of the token launched via the Sunrise bridge, triggering an influx of fresh capital and a +3.89% daily gain. Price rebounded from a local low near $0.000055 to test resistance at $0.0000588–$0.0000598, supported by a bullish RSI divergence.
This move highlights the economic effect of a cheaper trading route, with Solana fees averaging just 0.000005 SOL. The event mirrors a previous success where PEPE rose 5–8% in the first 48 hours after its September 18 launch. PEPE subsequently broke out of its range, reaching $0.0000051–$0.0000054 and pushing its market cap above $2 billion.
Canonical tokens use the Wormhole NTT standard for seamless integration with Jupiter, Raydium, Phantom, and Kamino. The community described the expansion as opening a "second front," backing it with the slogan: "Different chain. Same dog."
Developers identified the verified canonical smart contract address as shib5gSoVKPjwkXrxRk7SbQFzb2R9rQB3TgQWYX4RwW. Fake pools emerged on decentralized exchanges as volume shifted from native projects like BONK.
