Why It Matters: Shibarium was launched in March. In a blog post, Shytoshi Kusama had said that early beta testers can use the testnet, which uses tokens called Puppynet that are not in any way investments.
"All tokens on Puppynet are NOT REAL. Don't spend you're [your] hard earned SHIBS on these tokens if you see them no matter how hard people, anyone, shills," Kusama had said.
Price Action: At the time of writing, SHIB was trading at $0.000008495, down 2.87% in the last 24 hours, according to Benzinga Pro.
