Let’s dive into all the news crypto traders need to know about Shiba Hunter coin below!

First off, we have to note that this is yet another ripoff of Dogecoin (CCC:DOGE-USD).
It’s also worth highlighting that traders will want to be careful when investing in this crypto.
CoinMarketCap includes a warning on its price tracking page for investors.
It claims there have been reports that holders of SHUNT are unable to sell the crypto.
Considering its massive growth and low price, this is especially worrisome.
The crypto’s website describes it as “A One-of-a-Kind Game That Offers Endless Excitement and Gains.”
It claims to be ” an animated character based game developed to offer a fun and simple experience for players seeking to earn income while enjoying playing video games.”

Of course, we have to point out that there’s no game that users can play tied to the crypto.
Instead, it promises the launch of the game at the end of its roadmap.
Shiba Hunter coin is also promoting itself with the #TheHuntBegins hashtag.
However, searches on social media for the hashtag turn up no results connected to the crypto.
Another point worth mentioning is the early nature of the SHUNT crypto, which only just launched on Jan. 4, 2022.
Another red flag is the company limiting those than can reply to its Tweets.
All of this points to a potential pump and dump scam coin that investors will want to be wary of.

SHUNT is up 741.2% over the last 24 hours as of Wednesday afternoon.
