Shiba Inu Lead Reacts On Marc Cuban’s SHIB Comment In an X post dated January 21, Mark spotlights why meme coins like SHIB and Dogecoin have worked. Particularly in the wake of the community’s long-term prospects and a sustainable way that benefits holders long term, the American billionaire lauds the Shytoshi Kusama-backed crypto project. Notably, Mark stated, “It’s why Doge, Shibu Inu and only a few others have worked. It’s about the community long term.” Further, replying to this post, Shiba Inu lead Shytoshi Kusama stated, “Oh and it’s SHIBA INU.” Kusama again posted on X , adding, “Why not align with us here at Shib,” calling out Mark. “Take a 10 minute call and see that it’s not just community but real technology that keeps us going,” he further added. Cuban Calls Out On New Meme Coins Meanwhile, it’s noteworthy that these comments on meme coins come against the backdrop of broader discussions revolving around the newly launched TRUMP token. CoinGape reported that Mark Cuban slammed TRUMP coin ‘s dynamics, undermining its credibility. Further, Cuban said in another post, “If meme coins are the way, maybe I’ll issue one. With a twist. Same terms as TRUMP.” This statement has further set off market discussions as the so-called twist will be that all revenue from sales of the token will go to the U.S. Treasury, per Cuban. Nevertheless, the saga has altogether garnered significant attention toward the Shiba Inu coin. SHIB Price Takes Heat However, despite the recent comment from the Shiba Inu lead, the leading meme coin’s price dipped today. At the time of reporting, SHIB price was down 6% intraday and is sitting at $0.00001979. The coin’s 24-hour low and high were $0.00001968 and $0.00002194, respectively. Despite Mark Cuban’s appraisal, the meme coin waned against the backdrop of the broader sector’s movement. Nevertheless, market participants continue to eye Shiba Inu optimistically against the backdrop of broader developments. CoinGape reported that lead developer Shyotshi Kusama claimed a “big week ahead” for the token’s community. This statement has sparked speculations of looming advancements for the meme token. Also, a SHIB price analysis by CoinGape revealed that the token could be hitting a new ATH, driven by soaring market optimism amid Donald Trump’s inauguration. Crypto market participants continue to monitor the meme coin for further price action shifts. The post Shiba Inu Lead Reacts As Mark Cuban Lauds SHIB, What’s Happening? appeared first on CoinGape .
