Shiba Inu’s marketing lead has responded to the token’s recent delisting from two centralized exchanges, urging the community not to panic.
Addressing rising concerns on social media, Shiba Inu’s Lucie called out what she described as “manipulative” behavior from the platforms. She made it clear: this delisting has nothing to do with SHIB’s trading volume and everything to do with how some exchanges operate.
Here are insights you should know.
It’s Not About Volume”
Lucie didn’t name the exchanges involved, but she pushed back hard against the fear, uncertainty, and doubt.
“So much panic over two manipulative exchange delisting a token – even though it’s far from the lowest volume on their platform,” she said in a post on X.
In short, SHIB wasn’t underperforming. The delisting, she implied, was more about control and narrative than real market activity.
CEXes Under Fire
Lucie didn’t stop there. She criticized centralized exchanges (CEXes) for being “greedy” and “inconsistent.” According to her, some of these platforms take payments to list low-quality, short-term tokens often at the expense of real, community-backed projects.
She pointed to past failures like FTX, Hotbit, and WazirX, once big names that ended up collapsing or failing to protect users.
“I believe in a few solid ones. Never used those two – never will,” she added.
Why SHIB Is Doubling Down on Decentralization
For Lucie, this is a push to get back to the roots of crypto – decentralized finance and user freedom.
“We’re here to build and embrace DeFi and simplify it so even beginners can onboard without needing 2FA, KYC, and a blood sample just to get started.”
Lucie wants the SHIB Army to rely less on centralized platforms and focus more on tools that put users in control.
Stay Focused, Ignore the Noise
Lucie urged the SHIB community to tune out the drama and keep building. She even pointed to XRP’s delisting saga during its legal battle and how it bounced back.
At the time of writing, SHIB is trading down 1.87% at $0.00001128. The token is still facing pressure but this is just another test of many.
