Bone ShibaSwap (BONE), the gas token for the Shiba Inu layer-2 network Shibarium, has seen a price increase following its listing for margin trading on the Gate.io exchange. This development comes amidst a growing trend of BONE availability on major platforms.

The platform currently has approximately 83,323 BONE available for borrowing, equivalent to roughly $76,380 USDT.

At VIP level 16, users can expect daily and annual rates of up to 0.000105% and 0.93%, respectively, with individual loan caps reaching 20,000 BONE.
