Crypto.com has initiated a significant airdrop campaign, offering $250,000 in

Shiba Inu
(SHIB) tokens to users who stake CRO, the exchange’s native token, in its Airdrop Arena. The event, which runs from July 5 to August 4, 2025, aims to incentivize users to engage with the platform and promote the use of its native token. Participants earn points based on the amount of CRO they stake, with higher stakes leading to higher rankings and greater chances of receiving a share of the $250,000 SHIB pool. Early participants and those who allocate at least 1,500 CRO receive a 120% point boost, enhancing their chances of winning.

Crypto.com’s support for the Shiba Inu ecosystem is longstanding. The exchange listed SHIB in May 2021 and added Bone ShibaSwap (BONE) in March 2023. The platform also holds a substantial amount of SHIB in reserve, a rarity among exchanges. CEO Kris Marszalek has publicly praised the Shiba Army, the meme coin’s loyal community, which has contributed to the visibility and demand for SHIB. This airdrop campaign is seen as a continuation of Crypto.com’s long-term investment in the Shiba Inu ecosystem.

While Crypto.com focuses on the airdrop, the Shiba Inu team is preparing for significant developments under its new ‘JUL-AI’ campaign. Project lead Shytoshi Kusama has renamed July as “JUL-AI,” hinting at upcoming AI-powered developments. Kusama has teased announcements, product launches, and a new phase for the project, including a possible whitepaper release and a partnership with AI gaming platform TokenPlayAI. In a recent video update, Kusama revealed that the team has been building quietly since January and is now ready to unveil their plans.

July is shaping up to be a pivotal month for Shiba Inu, with Crypto.com’s airdrop and the Shiba Inu team’s AI-focused developments. The airdrop campaign not only rewards users but also strengthens the platform’s ecosystem by encouraging long-term engagement and loyalty. This initiative reflects Crypto.com’s adaptability to market trends and its commitment to providing value to its users, ultimately fostering a vibrant and active community.
