In today’s headlines, the spotlight is on the significant market performance of Shiba Inu Treat ($TREAT) on KuCoin. Mark Cuban’s encouraging comments about Shiba Inu further contribute to the excitement, suggesting a bright future for the Shib ecosystem. Meanwhile, ongoing leadership shifts in crypto regulation and the possibility of Ross Ulbricht’s pardon are also stirring conversations.
Shiba Inu Treat ($TREAT) Rallies 111%; Mark Cuban Recognizes Shiba Inu’s Viability
$TREAT has surged 111% in the past 24 hours, which led to it becoming a top gainer on KuCoin. It surpassed notable tokens like $OBT and $SWARMS during this period. $TREAT is part of the growing Shiba Inu ecosystem. This momentum, along with ongoing developments, suggests that the token may continue to rise as Shiba Inu continues to expand.
In other Shib ecosystem news, Mark Cuban recently declared Shiba Inu as one of the very few meme coins that actually “worked.” He proposed a new meme coin with a 20% float to support the U.S. Treasury, reflecting on the current meme coin trend. Cuban noted that only a few meme coins, like Doge and Shiba Inu, have succeeded. Shiba Inu’s lead visionary, Shytoshi Kusama, responded to the post, inviting Cuban to a call to explore the technology behind Shiba Inu.
Regulatory Shifts: New Acting SEC Chair and Acting CFTC Chair
Following President Trump’s inauguration, Mark Uyeda was appointed as the acting SEC chair. A Republican commissioner since June 2022, he succeeded Gary Gensler, who often clashed with the finance and crypto sectors. Uyeda’s past criticisms of the SEC’s unclear guidance on crypto registration may resonate with industry players. He has prior experience advising Senator Pat Toomey and working with California’s securities regulator.
Meanwhile, the CFTC has appointed Caroline Pham as its acting chair after a vote by the commissioners. She replaces Rostin Behnam until a permanent chair is nominated by President Trump and confirmed by the Senate. Pham expressed her gratitude for the opportunity and looks forward to engaging with stakeholders. She has been a CFTC commissioner since April 2022 and has advocated for digital asset regulation.
