Easier Access to Shibarium
Through this partnership, Shibarium users can now buy BONE and USDC tokens effortlessly using familiar payment methods. This new feature streamlines the process for newcomers, allowing them to purchase tokens without the need for complex bridging or navigating centralized exchanges. As a result, this initiative is expected to drive wider adoption of the supported tokens, which could lead to long-term value increases.
