Shiba Inu’s ecosystem continues to expand as its lead developer, Shytoshi Kusama, has confirmed the imminent launch of the TREAT token. In a post on X (formerly Twitter) on December 27, Kusama stated, “It’s time to start talking about TREAT, the future of our state and what we’ve been up to the last few years.” The announcement follows the recent rollout of ‘SHIB: The Metaverse,’ igniting excitement within the Shiba Inu community and the broader cryptocurrency market.
TREAT Token: A New Chapter for Shiba Inu
Kusama’s remarks emphasize a significant milestone for the Shiba Inu ecosystem. He stated, “Now that the Metaverse is rolling out well, it’s time to focus on the upcoming coin launch.” This marks a strategic move to strengthen SHIB’s tokenomics, potentially enhancing its utility and investor appeal. Earlier, Kusama hinted, “More TREATS are on the way,” solidifying community expectations for the token’s release.
The timing aligns with growing investor interest in dog-themed cryptocurrencies, especially as Shiba Inu evolves from a meme coin to a multifaceted ecosystem. With the TREAT token set to integrate seamlessly into Shiba Inu’s expanding framework, analysts anticipate it could bolster the ecosystem’s long-term viability.
Current Market Performance
Despite the positive sentiment, SHIB’s price has faced minor fluctuations. As of this writing, SHIB trades at $0.0000215, reflecting a slight 0.15% decline in the past 24 hours. Intraday highs and lows were recorded at $0.00002235 and $0.0000213, respectively.

Meanwhile, market expert Javon Marks projects a $0.00008 price target for SHIB, suggesting a potential 234% rally. Marks attributes this optimism to bullish technical indicators and the community’s enthusiasm surrounding recent developments. However, Coinglass data reveals a 4% drop in SHIB futures open interest (OI), urging cautious trading amid broader market volatility.
What’s Next for Shiba Inu?
As Shiba Inu ventures deeper into the metaverse and tokenomics innovation, the TREAT token launch could serve as a pivotal moment for the ecosystem. Whether SHIB achieves its ambitious price targets remains to be seen, but Kusama’s vision continues to position Shiba Inu as a key player in the crypto landscape.
