- —PopVax dosed its first two volunteers in Melbourne on August 31
- —Balvi and the Gates Foundation put $20 million into the program
- —Balvi's funds came from SHIB tokens sent to Buterin in May 2021
- —SHIB dropped 4.33% in 24 hours and 9.64% over the week
Why it matters: The case shows how unsolicited meme coins can fund open science, though it does little for SHIB's price.
