Shiba Inu’s lead developer, Shytoshi Kusama, sparked interest in the crypto community by sharing statistics from Gemini, a major cryptocurrency exchange founded by the Winklevoss twins.
The statistics show the increasing engagement of young investors in crypto, reflecting a broader trend of crypto adoption among younger generations. Kusama noted this information as “interesting,” hinting at potential opportunities in space.

Crypto Adoption Among Investors Under 30
According to Gemini’s tweet, nearly half of people under age 30 have invested in cryptocurrency, showing strong interest from the younger demographic. Although the tweet does not specify the geographic scope of the statistic, it is likely focused on the United States, given Gemini’s New York headquarters.
The crypto community responded positively to this statistic, with many expressing optimism about the potential for crypto’s role in future financial systems. However, some responses questioned the scale, noting that while promising, this statistic does not yet represent a significant portion of the global population.
Kusama’s S.H.I.B. Proposal for U.S. Blockchain Innovation
In addition to commenting on market trends, Kusama recently outlined a strategic proposal aimed at U.S. policymakers. His plan, titled the Strategic Hub for Innovation in Blockchain (S.H.I.B.), advocates for the establishment of a dedicated center for blockchain technology within a U.S. city.
According to Kusama, this hub would leverage blockchain technology to address critical infrastructure needs, enhance cybersecurity, and secure communication channels. This proposal reflects Kusama’s broader vision of utilizing blockchain to advance national interests in digital innovation.
The proposal also includes economic and regulatory components. He suggests offering financial incentives to attract businesses and developers, alongside a framework to encourage talent development in the blockchain space.
These measures are intended to position the U.S. as a global leader in blockchain technology, with the proposed budget estimated at $1.3 billion to $2.35 billion. Kusama envisions the implementation of this project over a period of five to ten years.

Community Developments and Future Plans
While Kusama’s S.H.I.B. proposal uses the SHIB acronym, the initiative is not directly tied to the Shiba Inu token. Instead, it likely aligns with the Shibarium blockchain, a layer-2 network released by the Shiba Inu development team in August 2023.
The team has been active in expanding its blockchain ecosystem, including plans to develop a layer-3 solution to increase scalability. Earlier this year, the team raised $12 million in funding to advance these initiatives, demonstrating the project’s commitment to expanding its blockchain capabilities.
Kusama’s recent statements and proposals have generated significant attention within the cryptocurrency community. Supporters of the Shiba Inu project see the S.H.I.B. proposal as a forward-looking plan that could elevate SHIB’s visibility in the blockchain industry.
Gemini’s data on young investors and Kusama’s ambitious goals have fueled optimism about the future of digital assets and blockchain technology.
