In response, Shytoshi Kusama, lead developer of the Shiba Inu ecosystem, addressed community concerns by highlighting SHIB's achievements and future catalysts that could enhance its valuation. He noted SHIB's status as the leading Ethereum token, stating: “Hey dude send Shib to the moon. Checks we are still #1 eth token in the world.”

Kusama countered the notion that SHIB is merely a speculative asset, emphasizing functionality as a key driver for its value: “Through function we change the world... Unparalleled vision in the entirety of crypto.”

The discussion also covered SHIB: The Metaverse, which aims to promote broader adoption of the ecosystem. Kusama mentioned an upcoming update, indicating excitement about its launch: “I expect a MV update in the Shib Mag soon :)”

SHIB: The Metaverse will function as a virtual space for users to socialize, game, and trade digital assets, integrating community, tokens, and services like ShibaSwap. Users will have opportunities to purchase virtual land and create unique experiences.

Kusama addressed competition from other meme tokens such as Dogecoin (DOGE) and BONK, stating that SHIB operates on an enterprise level: “I hope all memes do well... I am on the enterprise playing multilevel chess.”

Kusama further announced: “Analysis: Shib is still King! Bone is key. Leash is strong. TREAT is Coming,” and reminded the community that the TREAT token, designed to unlock advanced features within the SHIB ecosystem, is forthcoming. This token will complement existing tokens SHIB, BONE, and LEASH, each with distinct roles.

Kusama previously stated: “Each token has its own utility and governance, and TREAT is the access token to all the advanced features of our system.”

Additionally, Kusama hinted at the potential for a memecoin ETF in the U.S., responding to speculation about its arrival. A memecoin ETF could draw significant investment interest, particularly for Shiba Inu, which ranks as the second-largest memecoin by market capitalization.

At press time, SHIB traded at $0.00002502.
