Shiba Inu Lead Developer To Launch New SHIB-Focused Project, Explains Why 2025 Will Be ‘Epic’

TL;DR

Shytoshi Kusama plans a 44-episode podcast to further engage the Shiba Inu community. Despite the announcement, SHIB’s price remains down, down 20% in two weeks, amid a broader market correction. The next development

The lead developer of Shiba Inu who goes by the moniker X Shytoshi Kusama recently said that they will be launching a podcast in 2025. It will consist of 44 episodes and will cover different aspects of the entire meme currency ecosystem.

Kusama explained that every Monday, the topic of the podcast will be meme coins, while Tuesday will be dedicated to Treat (TREAT). The token serves several purposes, including as a reward for users who participate in Shiba Inu Ecosystem activities.

Every Thursday the stream will include “tech talk”, on Friday Kusama will “do shootings and follow-ups”, while on Saturday it will be “all about spirituality”. There will be no podcast on Wednesday and Sunday.

“Next year is going to be epic, and I’m really excited to share what we’ve built,” the developer concluded.

The upcoming podcast represents another community-oriented effort. Earlier this year, Kusama and Kaal Dhairya (two of Shiba Inu’s anonymous developers) revealed that they would be stepping down at the end of 2024 and handing over full control to the SHIB Army. The former said this move aligns with his vision of true decentralization in the cryptocurrency space.

SHIB Price Outlook

Despite the announcement about the upcoming development, the price of the meme coin remains in the red. It is currently trading around $0.00002165, down 3% on a 24-hour scale and down 20% in the past two weeks.

The underperformance coincides with the broader decline across the entire cryptocurrency market since the last FOMC meeting. Recall that Bitcoin (BTC) plummeted from more than $108,000 on December 17 to its current $93,500 after the US central bank hinted that rate cuts could be halted in 2025 due to growing concerns about the inflation

One factor that indicates SHIB bulls could experience more pain in the near future is net exchange flow. According to CryptoQuant, inflows exceeded outflows on most days last week. This suggests a shift away from self-custody methods towards centralized platforms and could be seen as a bearish factor as immediate selling pressure increases.
