Exchange LBank has announced the first round of winners in a rewards campaign tied to Shiba Inu's sixth anniversary, awarding a combined $250 to five users selected from participants in the promotion. The exchange named the winners in a post directed at its self-styled "SHIBArmy" community, congratulating five accounts that each received a share of the payout.
The announcement is the opening result of a larger $66,666 reward pool that LBank launched on August 3 in partnership with the SHIB token's anniversary, according to a campaign announcement published via Chainwire. That campaign runs through August 15 and is structured around a broader set of prizes beyond the initial $250 payout, including an iPhone 17 Pro, futures trading bonuses of up to 1,000 USDT, branded Yeti merchandise, and interest-boost coupons for eligible accounts.
How the Campaign Works
Participation is structured around everyday exchange activity rather than a single entry mechanism. Users can unlock up to 11 separate lucky-draw opportunities by completing tasks such as transferring assets into a Futures account, completing Simple Trade orders, hitting spot-trading volume milestones, or participating in LBank's Dual Investment products. New users are also eligible for a smaller 10 USDT futures bonus simply for registering, while accounts that reach 10,000 USDT in futures trading volume qualify for an additional 5 USDT bonus.
"SHIB has built one of the most active and passionate communities in the crypto industry, and its six-year journey represents the power of community-driven innovation," said Eric He, LBank's Community Angel Officer and Risk Control Adviser, in the campaign's launch announcement.
Part of a Broader Anniversary Push
The LBank campaign lands during a wider wave of SHIB-related activity around the token's sixth birthday. Shiba Inu's holder count has been reported to have surpassed 1.6 million as the anniversary approached, and the timing coincides with a period of elevated on-chain activity for the token, including a single day in which 110 billion SHIB left exchanges. For LBank, tying a rewards campaign to the milestone follows a pattern the exchange has used before with other token-specific promotions, using anniversaries and community events to drive trading volume across its futures and spot products.

With the campaign running through August 15, LBank is expected to announce additional rounds of winners across the remaining prize tiers as the $66,666 pool is distributed, though the exchange has not detailed a specific schedule for when the larger prizes, including the iPhone 17 Pro, will be awarded.
