Shiba Inu Lead Shytoshi Kusama Addresses Community
The session was organized by Trust Wallet, a popular self-custody crypto wallet, and included Shiba Inu’s official X account in participation. Other influencers in the world of crypto also participated in the discussion. A group of 18,700 listeners from around the world flocked to listen to the session.
During the live chat, Kusama was questioned about how Shiba Inu’s leadership maintains ongoing excitement in the community, particularly with the growing competition in the meme coin market.
As a response, Kusama declared that Shiba Inu works on a different plane from other meme-based initiatives. “SHIB is a different beast altogether,’ he declared. He asserted that the venture is not merely about market patterns but developing a long-term ecosystem with tangible applications, as indicated in our earlier discussions.
Kusama emphasized that Shiba Inu had created its own sovereignty a year ago. The group is currently working to build the infrastructure needed to keep this state of the network going for the next hundred years. “By positioning ourselves as a state and creating the technology needed for that state to operate, we are able to build a powerful operating system,” he said.
The founder further mentioned that Shiba Inu’s strategy is aimed at making the transition from Web2 to Web3 smooth. In his opinion, this keeps the ecosystem valuable for its present audience but also the entire global audience. He emphasized that hype cannot be the sole driver for SHIB’s expansion, noting further that “the hype will naturally follow as long as the community continues to create something with real utility.”
Future Innovations & SHIB Metaverse Growth
On X, Shiba Inu’s Ryoshi posted a part of the conversation wherein Kusama also provided updates on current developments within the Shiba Inu network. He disclosed that the developers are already developing several technologies while hosting events revolving around TREAT, the new token released to the network. The major objective is to disperse TREAT among the community in a manner that creates actual value.

In addition, he teased future announcements involving the SHIB Metaverse. Although he did not offer any concrete details, he promised the community that these developments would provide more insight into the direction of the project. “That is our priority, and it enables us to keep the community very engaged,” he said.
Moreover, amid these developments, it’s worth noting that the SHIB price gained 4.01% to $0.00001642 at press time on Thursday, February 13. Further, the market interest splurged as the trading volume surged 91.76% to $478.34 million in the past 24 hours. As mentioned in our previous story, Shiba Inu price needs to break past the accumulation zone of $0.00002387 and $0.00002541, to steer further rally ahead.
