SHIB Army Anticipates the SHI Stablecoin

There’s been a lot of great news for the SHIB Army in recent weeks, as lead developer Shytoshi Kusama issued updates on Shibarium, and urged the community to “march on”, despite the crypto storm.

First of all, the three native tokens of the Shiba Inu Ecosystem, $SHIB, $BONE and $LEASH, were all listed by a popular European exchange, giving SHIB holders the once in a lifetime opportunity to trade between any of the tokens on a single platform.

Secondly, a fourth token called $TREAT is on the way, and is intended to be used to distribute rewards. The reward system is mostly in relation to the constant burning of SHIB, which has been heavily endorsed by SHIB’s social influencers.

Most importantly, the Shiba Inu (SHIB) community is eagerly awaiting the launch of the $SHI stablecoin, which could significantly contribute towards SHIB transcening past its meme coin era.
