Earlier this year, Shiba Inu debuted its metaverse by raising funds from a virtual land sale. The blockchain initially accepted only Ethereum ETH/USD for purchases but later announced support for its own native token SHIB.
Shiba Inu also introduced a new ecosystem token called TREAT which would serve as the rewards token in the blockchain’s upcoming metaverse.
Price Action: According to data from Benzinga Pro, SHIB was trading at $0.000010, gaining 4.4% over the last 24 hours.
