In January this year, Ethereum’s Vitalik Buterin received $100 million back from his massive Shiba Inu donation to the Crypto Relief fund, which he redeployed for relief efforts worldwide.
While announcing the first cohort of recipients of an artificial intelligence grant program backed by the Ethereum creator, Buterin thanked the Shiba Inu community for making the fellowships possible.
SHIB Receives Positive News
Travala, a crypto-friendly travel platform, and Bitpoint, a top Japanese crypto exchange have announced treats for the Shiba Inu community. Users who book on Travala using SHIB will receive a free $25 travel credit to use on any of the more than three million hotels and flights on the website.
To the joy of the Shiba Inu community, cryptocurrency exchange BitPoint Japan announced it would list SHIB at the end of November, making it the first major Japanese exchange to do so. Bitpoint announced rewards for SHIB users, saying it will give new users one million Shiba Inu tokens as gifts.
Also, the exchange launched a social media campaign to celebrate its SHIB listing, with millions of SHIB to be given out as rewards.
At the same time, SHIB’s lead developer, Shytoshi Kusama, posted a mysterious tweet that contained only the slang “WOOF,” commonly used by the community when something exciting happens. This, in a way, stirred up expectations as the SHIB community replied excitedly.
SHIB is up 2.89% and is currently worth $0.0000092 per token, while it ranks as the 15th largest cryptocurrency.
