Shytoshi Kusama Unhappy With Crypto.com’s Blunder

In his post, the dev wrote, “Sadly Crypto.com wrote about our TREAT token that is not yet launched, assuming incorrectly that it was.” This statement is in regard to a previous article on the crypto platform that offered users an incorrect link to a Treat site.

The link, as clarified, was not related to the Shiba Inu ecosystem. In turn, Kusama’s post highlighted that the SHIB community had already made efforts to rectify the issue by contacting the exchange.

Also, Shytoshi Kusama’s post added, “Proceed with caution with this other Treat token (and many other spoofs that will inevitably be created to scam you).” It’s worth noting that TREAT is the utility and governance token for Shiba Inu’s new privacy-focused Layer 3 blockchain. Also, SHIB is one of the highest-ranking meme coins by market cap.
