Shiba Inu (SHIB-USD) is in the news Tuesday as investors in the crypto celebrate the ecosystem raising an additional $12 million for a new privacy blockchain.
Shiba Inu raised the money after selling tokens to crypto investors. However, it didn’t sell SHIB tokens to raise this money. Instead, the ecosystem sold its currently unreleased TREAT tokens to gain the funds.
A large number of crypto investors took part in the investment round. A few examples include Comma 3 Ventures, Big Brain Holdings, Cypher Capital, Shima Capital, Hercules Ventures and Animoca Brands, among others.
TREAT is the token for the new privacy blockchain that Shiba Inu is working on. The ecosystem also notes that this is its final non-stable token and that the blockchain will run feature Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE).
FHE is a major move forward for SHIB, as it offers extra security to crypto traders. That includes the ability to “use data on untrusted domains” without the need to decrypt it.
