Lucie, the marketing lead of the Shiba Inu ecosystem, struck an optimistic tone on SHIB’s future, insisting the token will eventually stage a comeback.
As the broader crypto market continues to face sustained downturns, Lucie issued words of encouragement to investors. Her bold remarks drew mixed reactions from analysts, who questioned SHIB’s recovery prospects after a prolonged slump.
Shiba Inu fell to a multi-year low of $0.000006359 over the weekend amid persistent macro-driven bearish pressure. Despite this, Lucie reaffirmed confidence in SHIB’s long-term outlook, arguing that SHIB and other strong, community-driven projects will rebound and deliver significant gains. In contrast, she warned that weaker projects reliant on paid key opinion leaders (KOLs) will eventually fade.
She further expects more sustainable projects, especially those focused on artificial intelligence, to emerge, while predicting a renewed wave of interest in NFTs. This view aligns with lead developer Shytoshi Kusama’s ongoing push into AI initiatives to strengthen the broader Shiba Inu ecosystem, including SHIB, TREAT, BONE, and LEASH.
Meanwhile, Lucie urged the community to stay alert for upcoming opportunities to make money. Although she did not specify whether these involve new ecosystem-related launches, integrations, or products, she hinted in a follow-up post that an update from top developer Kaal Dhairya is “brewing.”
Nonetheless, she cautioned investors to commit only spare funds and stressed that her comments should not be taken as financial advice.
Some community figures, including Zach Humphries, pushed back on Lucie’s comments, arguing they were overly optimistic while ignoring market pressures on SHIB, including the prolonged underperformance of altcoins since 2021.
While Humphries still sees recovery potential, he urged investors to stay realistic, diversify, and avoid relying solely on the team’s bullish projections.
Notably, during the ongoing downturn, Lucie has continued to issue public encouragement for SHIB holders. After Shiba Inu dropped to $0.00001270 in March 2025, erasing much of its post-election gains, she reaffirmed confidence in the project, noting that SHIB will succeed.
However, SHIB has continued to fall ever since, adding another zero and sliding to around $0.000006359, highlighting the gap between encouragement and market reality.
