More →Critical Shiba Inu (SHIB) Warning: Here’s the Latest Threat
The SHIB Army, the collective term for Shiba Inu holders, supporters, traders, and enthusiasts, has once again found itself in the crosshairs of scammers. Such schemes can lead to painful losses, so here’s how users can protect themselves. Recently, an X account falsely claimed a Shiba Inu airdrop was “back,” telling users they were eligible for the dubious campaign after they completed a supposed wallet verification check. The mysterious person or entity also provided a link, but people should not click it, as it was flagged as a scam. Long-time Shiba Inu community member Marzael.shib <a href="https://x.com/Mazrael_shib/status/2109464475833147516" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">warned</a> that no such token distribution exists, calling the development “a drainer.” “They are flooding the timeline; recommend not clicking and report,” they added. The X account BSCN also sounded the alarm on the matter. The team <a href="https://x.com/BSCNews/status/2109920444170359054" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">said</a> the real danger comes when users connect their wallets and sign malicious approvals. “Those permissions can allow scammers to transfer tokens without stealing a victim’s password,” the warning reads. The popular meme coin boasts a vast and devoted community, making it a frequent target for scammers. Earlier this year, Shibarium Trustwatch (an X account dedicated to warning Shiba Inu users about potential threats) <a href="https://cryptopotato.com/critical-warning-shiba-inu-shib-community-faces-new-threat/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">warned</a> about numerous fraud attempts involving the SOU NFT. Its team clarified that users will never receive the non-fungible token in question, and that eligible users can claim it only through Shiba Inu’s official website. “Do not click on shared, shortened, or copied links. Scammers often create fake websites that look identical to the real one in order to steal funds. Always type the official address directly into your browser and verify you are on the correct domain before connecting your wallet. Never share your private keys or seed phrase with anyone under any circumstances,” it added. Prior to that, the same X account <a href="https://cryptopotato.com/critical-warning-concerning-shiba-inu-shib-users-details/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">warned</a> that bad actors created a malicious website impersonating Shiba Inu’s official platform. The fake site includes “special” promotions and false claims of collaborations and presale bonuses, designed to lure people into connecting their wallets. The meme coin’s price has plunged by nearly 12% over the past week. However, the main reason for the drop appears to be the overall decline in the cryptocurrency market during that period, not the scam warning that could have spread panic across the community. As of this writing, SHIB trades around $0.000005163 (per CoinGecko), down 95% from its late-2021 all-time high. Analysts have been relatively sile
Dalio: U.S. government debt pressures and corporate financing needs intensify competition for capital.
Bridgewater founder Dalio warns that about $100 billion of maturing U.S. debt will need to be rolled over this year, along with roughly $21 billion in new borrowing needs. Paul Tudor Jones warns that potential IPOs of AI companies such as OpenAI and Anthropic, as well as secondary corporate offerings, could reverse the supply-demand structure for equities. Government debt issuance, corporate borrowing, and new share offerings are increasing simultaneously, putting greater pressure on investors' capital allocation. BTC and ETH valuations are driven by dollar liquidity, real interest rates, and risk appetite. U.S. Treasury yields remaining at high levels and AI companies' financing needs may limit new capital inflows into crypto assets. Market focus is shifting to the U.S. September CPI. If core prices are moderate, cooling rate expectations could improve risk appetite in the crypto market; if the data exceed expectations, a stronger dollar and yields would put pressure on crypto assets.
