Shiba Inu Stands With Ethereum & Vitalik Buterin Amid FUD, Says SHIB Team
Shiba Inu’s marketing lead Lucie on Saturday expressed immense support for Ethereum and its co-founder Vitalik Buterin amid rising FUD for ETH across the crypto space. The SHIB community bolstered the second-largest crypto by market cap amid rising market concerns attributable to large selloffs by the ETH Foundation and Buterin.
Shiba Inu Team Says, “Shib People Like & Support Vitalik Buterin & Ethereum”
In an X post dated October 26, Shiba Inu’s marketing lead stated, “We Shib people, like and support VitalikButerin & Ethereum.” Further, the marketing lead stressed how important the network is, acting as the foundational base for SHIB ecosystem assets and Shibarium.
For context, these statements, offering support to one of the largest crypto by market cap, come against the backdrop of rising FUD in the ETH market. Notably, the social media platform X recently saw users calling out on the co-founder for dumping the coin. However, Vitalik Buterin claims, “I haven’t sold a single ETH in the past month? The amount of ETH I hold has actually gone up,” sparking market intrigue.
Further, when asked about the ETH Foundation’s dumps, Buterin stated that the entity is paying researchers and devs on the network for reasons such as users’ fees being low today. Altogether, the co-founder’s statements defy any claims hinting that both parties are selling ETH. The Shiba Inu team has further jacked up these statements, as mentioned above.
Meanwhile, Kaaldhairya, another prominent developer within the SHIB community, stated, “When I see Vitalik Buterin facing the FUD, my own challenges / fud feel insignificant,” sparking additional market discussions.
How Are The Coins Performing?
Simultaneously, ETH and SHIB both traded in the red zone today, mirroring the broader market trend. SHIB price tanked slightly over 4% in the past 42 hours and is currently trading at $0.00001691. Its intraday low and high were $0.00001605 and $0.00001785, respectively.
ETH price cracked nearly 3% over the past day and is sitting at $2,468. The coin’s intraday low and high were $2,381.45 and $2,563.73, respectively.
While Ethereum’s future prospects remain uncertain amid recent market events, Shiba Inu has garnered significant investor enthusiasm with recent developments. CoinGape Media reported that the SHIB burn rate surged remarkably amid rising Shibarium growth recently, injecting further optimism over the meme coin’s long-term prospects.

Terra Luna Classic Proposed Rejected By Community
Community pool spend proposal 12146 by BLV Labs faced a roadblock as the developer group failed to execute the developments on the Terra Luna Classic mainnet. The proposal saw nearly 90% “No” votes, including Allnodes, Interstellar Lounge, Interstake One, and other validators. The developer seeks $5000 in LUNC.
Validators responded that there was discussion, with no testnet deployment or mainnet deployment. The community requested the team to finish the work for payout.
The developer worked on the use of Oracle module to update and calculate the minimum deposit required to create a proposal in the governance module. BLV suggested that the system will automatically increase the minimum margin to ensure the value of the proposal is maintained in the event of a sharp drop or spike in LUNC price.
The team claimed the code pushed to GitHub and a pull request created on the Classic Terra repository. After that, we continued to work on all the bugs related to testing and integration. The team plans to EVM, SDK50 upgrade, or IBC improvement.
Meanwhile, the Terra Classic community has approved a proposal to transfer CoinMarketCap dashboard account access to top validator Allnodes directly.

BitMEX co-founder and crypto millionaire Arthur Hayes has shilled another Solana meme coin to his followers. As expected, the coin’s price rallied following Hayes’ mention of the coin in an X post.
Arthur Hayes Shills FLOWER Meme Coin
In an X post, Arthur Hayes shared the Dextool profile of the FlowerAI (FLOWER) meme coin with the caption “kek.” Given Hayes’ status in the crypto community, this post was enough to send the meme coin’s price soaring.
When he made the post, FLOWER’s price was $0.02232, but the coin’s price has since spiked and is now above $0.03. The coin’s market cap was $22 million at the time but is now at $30 million following the price rally.
Arthur Hayes’ post has drawn criticism. Some of his followers questioned why someone of his repute was shilling a low-cap coin. Meanwhile, some accused him of intentionally trying to pump and dump the coin on his followers.
Besides shilling top SOL meme coins like Dogwifhat (WIF) in the past, Hayes has also dabbled into low and mid-cap coins. There was a point where he mentioned that he bought the MOTHER and MOG tokens. He also bet Solana AI meme coin Goatseus Maximus (GOAT).
Meanwhile, more recently, the Solana meme coin Deep Worm Price skyrocketed 180% after Hayes shilled it and asserted that the coin would reach a billion market cap. When he shilled the coin, WORM had a market cap of $55 million. However, following the pump, WORM’s market cap has since dropped to $41 million.
Solana Meme Coin Ecosystem Presents A Huge Boost
While Arthur Hayes continues to shill Solana meme coins, there is no doubt about the positive impact these coins have had on Solana and the SOL price. The SOL price recently hit a new all-time high (ATH) of $263, and this development is thanks to the increased demand for the coin among traders looking to invest in meme coins on the network.
The Solana network has also continued to record massive trading volume thanks to its meme coin ecosystem. For context, Solana is currently leading all other chains, including Ethereum, in terms of decentralized exchange (DEX) volume.
DeFiLlama data shows that the network has recorded a DEX volume of $44 billion and $5 billion in the last seven days and 24 hours, respectively. Ethereum comes in a distant second with $17 billion and $2.9 billion recorded during these periods.
With stakeholders in the crypto industry like Arthur Hayes shilling these Solana meme coins, the Solana network will unlikely continue to enjoy more trading volume as more investors also look to trade these coins.
