SHIB, BONE, LEASH tokens dip amid rumors of $2.5M Shibarium gaffe

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 tokens. 

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.

Ripple Labs has voiced its opposition towards the United States securities regulator’s move towards filing an interlocutory appeal relating to the summary judgment laid down by U.S. District Court Judge Analisa Torres on Jul. 13.

In an Aug. 16 letter to Torres of the Southern District of New York, Ripple’s lawyers explained that because the Securities and Exchange Commission failed to satisfy elements of the Howey test relating to Ripple’s distribution of XRP — a “legal question” — the Court should reject the SEC’s motion for leave to file an interlocutory appeal.

An interlocutory appeal occurs when a ruling by a trial court is appealed while other aspects of the case are still proceeding and are only allowed under specific circumstances.
