Rakuten Wallet Distributes Physical Shiba Inu Coins at Seminars

Japanese exchange Rakuten Wallet is giving away physical, non-blockchain-linked metal Shiba Inu (SHIB) souvenir coins to holders at seminars in Sapporo and Osaka, following previous distributions in Fukuoka. These collectible items, first introduced in July 2026 using sandblasting technology, join Rakuten Wallet's 'Real Coin' series which also includes Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP. Participants only need to show SHIB holdings in the Rakuten Wallet app to receive a coin, a strategy aimed at community engagement despite SHIB trading lower, down about 2.23% over 24 hours to roughly $0.00000496, pressured by US inflation data.
