Shiba Inu has officially launched TREAT, a new ecosystem token designed for governance, rewards, and payments via SHIB Pay. The token enables holders to vote on strategic project investments and liquidity incentives. This addition completes the Shiba Inu ecosystem's four-token structure, which now includes SHIB, BONE, LEASH, and TREAT. The project's infrastructure also encompasses the Shibarium Layer-2, a Layer-3, and encrypted transactions via Zama.
Despite this development, SHIB's market price remains at $0.00000631, approximately 90% below its all-time high. The article notes that the introduction of TREAT has not significantly impacted the price of the original SHIB token, highlighting that governance tokens do not inherently generate yield for passive holders.
In contrast, the article heavily promotes the ongoing presale for Taurox (TAUX), a decentralized AI-powered hedge fund. The project's core mechanism involves AI trading agents that compete for capital allocation within a pool. Stakers in the pool retain 80% of the generated profits, with the protocol taking a 5% performance fee (30% of which is burned) and agent creators earning 15%. There are no management fees.
The Taurox system employs a "Know Your Agent" (KYA) classification to enforce diversification across 14 distinct trading strategy types, with caps to prevent any single strategy from dominating. Agents must first prove their strategy with the creator's own capital, maintaining a Sharpe ratio above 1.5 and drawdowns under 15%. Once live, agents are subject to a 2% daily stop-loss and cannot hold more than 2% of the pool. User funds are secured in smart contract vaults with a 15% stablecoin reserve.
The TAUX token presale is structured across 19 phases, starting at $0.01 and rising to $0.07, with an intended listing price of $0.08. The total supply is fixed at 2 billion tokens. Token vesting includes a 1-month cliff followed by linear unlocks through month six. The project claims that staking will be activated at the presale's conclusion, allowing tokens to generate yield immediately when the trading pool goes live. Promotional calculations suggest an implied TAUX price of $1.85 if the pool reaches $1 billion with 30% gross returns.
Concurrently, the article references Ripple (XRP), noting that its open interest has reached $5.57 billion—a level that preceded a 103% price rally in 2025. XRP recently broke above $1.39, ending a descending trendline. Analysts like Standard Chartered maintain a year-end price target of $2.80. The upcoming FOMC meeting is cited as a potential catalyst. However, the article uses this context to contrast pattern-based speculation with Taurox's quantitative, AI-driven approach.
