If a new investor stumbled across a token called Shiba Tron [SHIBT], they might imagine that it was the perfect lovechild of its viral parents – SHIB and TRX. However, that’s far from being the case and traders need to know their facts before they decide to invest in this shiny new memecoin.
It’s natural for a trader to look at CoinMarketCap’s list of top gainers when checking the price of another asset. On 26 February, Shiba Tron was one such winner, thanks to a rally of more than 1000% in the past 24 hours. In fact, the BEP-20 token’s price rose from $0.0005662 to $0.006092 in just a day.
SHIBT had a total supply of 10 billion coins, with four billion already burnt. However, its tokenomics are a matter of interest, as there is a “reflection fee” on every transfer which is meant to benefit all holders. The token’s website stated,
“$SHIBT is a reflection token and as such takes a 10% reflection fee on each transfer and distributes it to all the $SHIBT holders. It also happens during a swap, when the sender transfers $SHIBT tokens to the swap contract, which gets 10% less tokens than expected.”
Note that the tax is redistributed to investors “proportional to their holdings,” so those with the most SHIBT tokens have the most to gain.
There are also plans to build a Shiba Tron religion after the market cap reaches $500 billion – which would put SHIBT between Ethereum and Bitcoin in terms of market cap.
But if that doesn’t happen, the team will settle with carving a Shiba Tron on a mountain at the $100 billion market cap mark. You can see why investors might be wary.
