Article Summary:
Shiba Inu, an interconnected ecosystem of digital assets built on the Ethereum blockchain, has raised $12 million in a strategic venture capital round from non-U.S. strategic partners. These partners include Mechanism Capital, Big Brain Holdings, Cypher Capital, and others. The investment is made through the purchase of the not-yet-released $TREAT utility and governance token.
$TREAT is the final unreleased token by Shiba Inu, expected to unlock the newly announced blockchain featuring Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) technology.
