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

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.
