Several videos featuring Kusama greeting fans in the SHIB Token booth surfaced online on July 6, 2024, as SHIB fans shared their experiences on X and Discord. Today, IVS2024, the largest start-up conference in Japan, also posted a picture with Kusama on their official X account.

SHIB Army members asked Kusama to come to Delhi, India, and Indonesia next. However, some sarcastic comments were made by followers who expected a boost in Shiba Inu’s burn rate. SHIB enthusiast ELVI uttered: “Burn Shiba that’s all we want. Stop cos playing,” while others posted screenshots, the SHIB lead’s gender.

SHIB is among India’s three most popular cryptocurrencies, making Kusama’s next stop on the global visit bucket list a logical one. Whilst the location and the event are not known yet, they’re expected to feature interactive sessions, including an Ask-Me-Anything (AMA) session with SHIB’s mystified lead developer.
