Shiba Inu Marketing Lead Blasts Exchanges Over Delisting

Shiba Inu’s marketing lead, Lucie, has responded to the recent delisting of the SHIB token from two centralized exchanges, urging the community to remain calm and focused. Lucie criticized the exchanges for what she described as “manipulative” behavior, emphasizing that the delisting was not due to SHIB’s trading volume but rather a result of how some exchanges operate.

Lucie did not name the exchanges involved but highlighted the fear, uncertainty, and doubt that the delisting had caused within the community. She asserted that SHIB was not underperforming and that the delisting was more about control and narrative than actual market activity. Lucie’s comments came in response to rising concerns on social media, where many in the SHIB community expressed worry over the delisting.

In her critique of centralized exchanges, Lucie described them as “greedy” and “inconsistent,” noting that some platforms take payments to list low-quality, short-term tokens at the expense of real, community-backed projects. She cited past failures such as FTX, Hotbit, and WazirX, which were once prominent but ultimately collapsed or failed to protect users. Lucie made it clear that she does not support these exchanges and believes in a few solid ones that prioritize user trust and security.

Lucie’s response to the delisting is part of a broader push to emphasize decentralized finance (DeFi) and user freedom. She believes that the SHIB community should focus on building and embracing DeFi tools that put users in control, rather than relying on centralized platforms. Lucie’s vision is to simplify DeFi so that even beginners can onboard without the need for complex verification processes like 2FA and KYC.

Lucie urged the SHIB community to stay focused on their goals and ignore the noise surrounding the delisting. She pointed to the example of XRP, which faced a similar delisting saga during its legal battle but ultimately bounced back. Lucie’s message to the community is clear: stay focused on building and embracing DeFi, and the SHIB project will continue to thrive despite the challenges posed by centralized exchanges.
