Shiba Inu’s highly anticipated TREAT token is set to launch this month, January 2025, as confirmed in a recent X post from its official account. While the exact date remains undisclosed, the announcement has fueled excitement among Shiba Inu enthusiasts, marking a significant milestone in the project’s journey toward complete decentralization.
TREAT Launch Delay and Scams
The road to TREAT’s launch has been long and winding. Introduced in 2022, the token was touted as the key to Shiba Inu’s full decentralization. However, the launch was delayed, with no specific public sale announced, despite expectations following the April 2024 fundraising campaign. During this period, scammers took advantage of the delay, launching fraudulent versions of TREAT tokens to deceive investors. The Shiba Inu team swiftly responded, warning the community that TREAT was not yet available.
The new year begins with TREAT! 🔥
