Shytoshi Kusama, the enigmatic leader of the Shiba Inu project, recently hinted at a potential surge for SHIB and other tokens within its ecosystem. He made this known in response to an inquiry from HTX, a leading crypto trading platform, on X (formerly Twitter). HTX, with over 1.5 million followers, asked which asset would be “going to the moon.” In crypto, this phrase typically suggests that an asset is expected to see significant gains.

The inquiry quickly sparked reactions from crypto enthusiasts, including Kusama. In response, Kusama playfully replied with “WOOF.” The term “WOOF” has become popular within the Shiba Inu community, representing the sound of a dog’s bark. Since the Shiba Inu ecosystem revolves around a dog theme, enthusiasts often use “WOOF” to greet each other. However, in this context, Kusama’s use of “WOOF” subtly suggested that Shiba Inu tokens like SHIB, BONE, and LEASH have the potential for massive rallies.
