Shiba Inu community anticipates possible announcement as Kusama remains silent

Kusama and Dhairya maintain silence

Shytoshi Kusama has refrained from making any public statements or social media updates, with his last known interaction on X taking place on May 13. This absence has left the community without official commentary from Kusama for over three months.

Similar silence has been observed from Kaal Dhairya, a core developer for Shiba Inu. Since early 2026, Dhairya’s presence on X has been minimal, with his sole recent activity being a brief “LFG” comment during a price upswing at the end of July.

Shiba Inu is a decentralized meme-inspired cryptocurrency project known for its Shiba Inu dog logo and active online community. The project is driven by a group of pseudonymous developers with Kusama serving as the most visible representative.

Community speculation grows

The renewed speculation was sparked after Vet Kusama, a recognized figure in the Shiba Inu ecosystem, suggested in an X post that both Shytoshi Kusama and Kaal Dhairya might make an announcement in the upcoming month. Vet Kusama urged followers to “stay tuned,” yet omitted any concrete information regarding the topic or content of a potential announcement.

No official confirmation has come from either Kusama or Dhairya regarding Vet’s claim. The post has largely been interpreted as a reflection of community sentiment rather than concrete plans for an update.

While several figures have recently shared news about the Shiba Inu ecosystem, many community members continue to await an official update from Kusama, hoping for a more direct address from the lead ambassador.

Additional interest arose as Mazrael, another respected Shiba Inu advisor involved with the Shiba Eternity game, responded to calls from users eager for communication from Kusama. Still, official channels remain silent.

Market activity surrounds Shiba Inu

Despite the absence of formal statements, the broader cryptocurrency market has continued its uptrend, with the latest surge now in its third consecutive day.

Over the past 24 hours, short sellers faced substantial losses as liquidations totaled $1.24 billion, highlighting the rapid upward movement in cryptocurrency prices.

Shiba Inu, often referred to as a “dog coin,” has now posted gains for three straight days. From its low of $0.0000044 on August 19, the token reached an intraday high of $0.0000053 early Friday and was recently trading at $0.0000052, reflecting notable upward momentum.
