Rakuten Wallet to Distribute Physical Shiba Inu Coins as Collectibles

Current overview (not historical)

AI overview

Rakuten Wallet has announced a promotion in which it will hand out free, physical Shiba Inu commemorative coins to users who can demonstrate ownership of SHIB tokens within the Rakuten Wallet app. The coins are purely collectible items and bear no technical connection to the Shiba Inu blockchain or the actual SHIB token. To qualify, participants must show their SHIB holdings on a screen in front of a staff member during the distribution event. Anyone who meets this requirement will receive a coin at no cost, with no cap on the number of coins that can be claimed. The initiative is positioned as a marketing and collector’s item rather than a financial product tied to the cryptocurrency. The promotion highlights Rakuten Wallet’s strategy to engage its user base with tangible rewards, while clarifying that the physical coins do not confer any blockchain-based benefits or ownership rights.

    Rakuten Wallet Distributes Physical Shiba Inu Coins at Seminars

    Report first recorded Oct 16, 03:42

    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.
