Early investors made millions of dollars in profit with minimal investments. The rags-to-riches stories around SHIB solidified its status as a “millionaire-maker.” Also Read: Shiba Inu: SHIB Price Prediction 10 Years From Now Why Did Shiba Inu Rally So High In 2021? Source: Watcher Guru One of the most significant catalysts for SHIB’s incredible rally in 2021 was Vitalik Buterin‘s massive token burn. The Ethereum co-founder received half of SHIB’s supply upon launch. Buterin decided to burn 90% of the tokens he received. Buterin gave the remaining 10% of the tokens to charity.

Two Tezos (XTZ) investors are taking the IRS to court once again over the agency’s treatment of their staked XTZ tokens. In a new complaint filed with a Tennessee Federal court, Josh and Jessica Jarrett contend that newly minted tokens from staking should only be treated as taxable if they are sold. “New property is not taxable income; instead, taxable income arises from the proceeds from the sale of that new property. In all other contexts, the IRS recognizes that new property is not taxable income. When a taxpayer creates new property—whether a farmer’s crop, an author’s manuscript, or a manufacturer’s product—he is not taxed until he sells it. Only upon sale of new property does income ‘come in.’ As the leading treatise explained in the year that the income tax was introduced, ‘the measure of taxable net income is not the amount or value of the products of the year’s operation, but the net proceeds of sales.'” The Jarretts fi...

Cryptocurrency whale s are both feared and respected due to their accomplishments and impacts on the cryptocurrency market. Now, an XRP whale has made investors tremble, looking for its next move. The whale in question moved over 443 million XRP tokens from ‘ra9cJ…Lg4Gf’ to ‘rudsb…TVYdG’ on January 16.

The price of soccer fan tokens, designed for fan engagement, is seemingly impacted by the on-field performance of teams. Argentina’s shock 2-1 loss to Saudi Arabia in the opening match of the FIFA World Cup has plummeted the price of the Argentine Football Association Fan Token (ARG), in line with the hopes of the nation’s die-hard soccer fans.  With the ARG token priced at $7.21 at kick-off, the poor performance by the Lionel Messi-led soccer team saw the token’s price fall 31% to $4.96 by the end of the match before rising to $5.22 at the time of writing, according to data from CoinGecko. By contrast, the floor price of “The Saudis,” a Saudi Arabian-themed nonfungible token (NFT) collection unrelated to the soccer team, skyrocketed 52.6% from 0.196 Ether (ETH) to 0.3 ETH over the same time before cooling off to a price of 0.225 ETH, around $250. The collection’s sales volume also spiked 990% over the last 24 hours, closing in on 24.5 ETH, according to OpenSea data. Despite the bui...

Shiba Inu and related-token prices plunged since Shibarium's launch, while rumors of a significant technical error in the new Shibarium network have been swirling. The launch of the Shibarium mainnet — a layer 2 scaling solution for the Ethereum network — appears to have gotten off to a rocky start, at least when it comes to the price of its related token s.  Many Shiba Inu (SHIB) holders had held out hope for a sharp appreciation of SHIB, Shibarium’s governance token BONE and the LEASH token with the launch of the Shibarium network on Aug. 16. However, those aspirations have been dashed rather quickly. At the time of publication, the price of SHIB is down 8.1% in the last 24 hours while BONE has fallen more than 14% in the same timeframe. The ecosystems’ LEASH token — a low supply staking rewards coin — fared the worst, dropping 23.5% on the day. Shiba Inu (SHIB) price following the launch of the Shibarium network.
