Shiba Inu community figure Luis Delgado has shared a motivational message with SHIB holders to reignite their confidence in the token’s potential surge to $0.01.
In a message titled “Reality Check,” Delgado referenced the poker game to illustrate upcoming game-changing moves from Shiba Inu’s lead developer, Shytoshi Kusama.
According to Delgado, Kusama has “several aces up his sleeve” ready for deployment. This suggests that Kusama may soon unveil major announcements, features, and other initiatives.
Delgado asserts that once these hidden initiatives are revealed, they could “turn the game upside down,” potentially enhancing Shiba Inu’s utility, increasing demand, and pushing SHIB’s price to new heights.
Interestingly, Delgado included the hashtag #1CentDreamSHIB in his X post, implying that these upcoming initiatives could contribute to SHIB’s potential price surge toward the ambitious $0.01 target.
Shiba Inu to $0.01?
The one-cent dream has been a long-standing goal for the broader Shiba Inu community. Experts like Delgado and Shiba Inu’s marketing specialist Lucie believe SHIB could reach the $0.01 price point someday. However, skeptics do not expect SHIB to achieve the price milestone due to its enormous supply.
For context, hitting the $0.01 target would require SHIB to grow 78,208% from the current price of $0.00001277. If this happens, Shiba Inu’s market cap could soar to roughly $5.89 trillion, given its enormous supply of 589.5 trillion SHIB. This estimated valuation surpasses the total crypto market cap of $3.39 trillion.
Kusama Remains Inactive on Social Media
In the meantime, Shiba Inu’s lead developer has remained inactive on social media. His last post on X was on May 29, 2025.
Before stepping away from social media, Kusama disclosed that he was writing a white paper on the interaction between Shiba Inu and artificial intelligence (AI). He promised to highlight Shiba Inu’s role in the upcoming AI-driven technological evolution.
This white paper appears to be Kusama’s primary focus for now, as indicated by updates to his bio on X and location marker.
Recent Updates from Shiba Inu Team
While Kusama’s current focus is on the SHIB-AI white paper, the broader Shiba Inu ecosystem team has continued rolling out significant upgrades to bolster SHIB’s utility.
Earlier this week, the team launched an enhanced DeFi toolkit to transform how Shiba Inu enthusiasts earn, trade, and burn tokens.
Yesterday, the ecosystem team also unveiled a partnership with TokenPlay.ai, an AI-powered gaming platform developed by Astra Nova.
Under the partnership, community members can build Shiba Inu-themed games without writing a single line of code. Moreover, players can earn tokens by playing these games.
“We’re starting with an exclusive Shiba-themed game, followed by the launch of our own arcade platform, Shib.fun,” the announcement read.
