Shiba Inu’s marketing lead, Lucie, has issued a crucial warning to the crypto community, urging vigilance amid a surge in scam tokens and misleading promotions on social media platform X. As market volatility intensifies, scammers have begun exploiting investor fear and emotional decision-making to launch malicious projects aimed at stealing funds.
Lucie Alerts SHIB Community to Rising Scam Tokens
In a recent update shared on X, Lucie cautioned SHIB holders and the broader crypto audience about the proliferation of low-quality tokens intentionally designed to deceive and defraud. She emphasized that these tokens often appear amid market downturns when investors are desperate to recover losses or secure fast gains.
In these brutal market conditions, the only ones enjoying it are the malicious actors and clout chasers — milking lies just to monetize their platforms.

Of course we’ll see a new token launched every other day. New devs, same old shill gangs. Do what you want — it’s your money,…
“In these brutal market conditions, the only ones enjoying it are the malicious actors and clout chasers, milking lies just to monetize their platforms,” Lucie stated. Her message serves as a strong reminder that investors must avoid emotionally driven decisions and conduct due diligence before putting money into any new token.
Avoid Emotional Trading, Embrace Calculated Risk
Lucie acknowledged that investing in cryptocurrency always carries risk, but she stressed the importance of calculated risk over blind speculation. The marketing lead urged the SHIB community to prioritize safety and long-term strategy, especially during periods of heightened volatility.

According to Lucie, users must resist the urge to follow influencers or join trends without verifying the legitimacy of a project. She pointed to X (formerly Twitter) as a “paradise for chaos,” warning that the platform has become a breeding ground for bots, misleading promotions, and fraudulent token launches.
SHIB Ecosystem Maintains Focus on User Safety
Despite the chaos surrounding the broader market, Lucie reaffirmed that the Shiba Inu ecosystem remains committed to protecting its users. The team actively works to shield its community from scams and disinformation, maintaining transparency and integrity in its messaging and project developments.
This warning follows similar alerts from other crypto leaders. Former Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao recently sounded the alarm on AI-powered deepfakes and advanced hacking methods, which are now being used to defraud crypto users with even more sophistication.

Shiba Inu Holds Its Rank Amid Market Turmoil
In spite of current bearish sentiment across the crypto sector, Shiba Inu has shown resilience. It continues to hold its position as the 19th-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization. Notably, even established tokens like Litecoin have failed to surpass SHIB, despite recent fluctuations in SHIB’s performance.
This enduring position reflects a strong community foundation and growing awareness about security within the SHIB ecosystem. As investors become more cautious, the role of trusted voices like Lucie becomes even more essential in educating and protecting retail participants.
Final Thoughts
Lucie’s warning is a timely reminder for all crypto users to remain alert, question too-good-to-be-true offers, and resist emotional investing. In a fast-moving market flooded with deceptive schemes, education and community support are the first lines of defense.
