Shiba Inu Lead Calls Crypto a ‘Casino’ as Market Crash Deepens

Published at 2026-01-29 14:45:28

Shiba Inu lead developer Shytoshi Kusama has doubled down on his recent remarks, likening cryptocurrency investing to placing bets in a casino where participants can either win big or suffer significant losses. The comment arrived during a fresh market downturn and highlights ongoing volatility affecting SHIB and other memecoins, reinforcing the unpredictable nature of the broader crypto market.

Kusama’s blunt comparison may heighten caution among retail holders and influence sentiment inside the Shiba Inu community, which often tracks developer signals closely. While not a policy change, the statement underlines the elevated risk profile of speculative crypto assets and could prompt some investors to reassess positions or strengthen risk-management approaches as regulators and platforms continue to watch market stability.
