The Shiba Inu team signaled plans for its first major AI product for crypto founders as SHIB price regained momentum across daily and weekly charts. Analysts projected a potential 400% rally, while ecosystem leaders unveiled new AI use cases and warned about phishing schemes tied to the SOU NFT initiative.
Lucie, a core member of the Shibarium and SHIB teams, outlined five future use cases for the Shiba Inu ecosystem. She presented DAO compatibility tools, token-gated premium layers, and an AI mediator for ecosystem apps.
First, she described an AI matching system for cofounders, multisig partners, validators, and DAO teams. The tool aims to reduce internal conflict before disputes escalate within decentralized communities.
Next, she detailed deeper AI insights accessible through ecosystem tokens. She noted that this approach could drive utility-based engagement across the network.
She also discussed a reputation and social signal system. The system would link compatibility and communication insights with an optional on-chain identity.
In addition, Lucie explained that the translator layer could evolve into governance discussion tools or advanced user support systems. She stated that AI now helps decentralized communities communicate more effectively.
Shortly before Lucie’s post, Shytoshi Kusama, the pseudonymous SHIB ecosystem leader, introduced an AI-powered relationship platform during a livestream. He described it as a practical tool for couples to identify patterns and friction points early.
Kusama clarified that the platform is not part of the official SHIB project. He called it a personal initiative aimed at reducing broken homes.
Technical analyst Javon Marks pointed to a classic bullish divergence on the SHIB chart. He identified lower lows in price while the Relative Strength Index formed higher lows.
This pattern often signals weakening bearish momentum and early buyer activity. Marks said the setup could trigger a rally of more than 400% if a confirmed reversal occurs.
From the current price near $0.0000065, a 400% move would place SHIB around $0.000035. Marks has referenced similar divergences on SHIB charts for months.
Separately, other analysts forecast a 600% rally tied to a spike in SHIB’s burn rate. In a 24-hour window, the burn rate surged nearly 400%.
During the same period, SHIB maintained a weekly support zone near $0.00001293. This has prompted many investors to question whether the combination of AI-driven ecosystem expansion and technical signals can sustain long-term price momentum.

On February 18, Lucie issued a public warning after scammers resurfaced with new tactics. She said attackers used fake portals to exploit funds linked to the SHIB-based NFT project, SHIB OWES YOU (SOU).
According to Lucie, malicious actors spread phishing links and mirror websites that imitate the official Shiba Inu portal. These fake sites aim to trick users into connecting wallets.
Once users connect, attackers can drain funds from compromised wallets. Lucie urged community members to access only the official SHIB portal and verify links carefully.
The warning followed the announcement of the SOU initiative. The team created the blockchain-based project in response to a September 2025 bridge exploit.
During that exploit, tokens leaving Shibarium failed to arrive on Ethereum. The incident led to estimated losses between $2 million and $4 million across 17 tokens.
As the SHIB ecosystem expands into AI tools and new blockchain initiatives, its leaders continue to address security risks alongside product development and market momentum.
Shiba Inu teased an AI product as Lucie outlined new Shibarium use cases and warned about fake SOU portals. At the same time, analysts tracked bullish divergence, burn rate jumps, and renewed SHIB price momentum with upside targets.
