#ShibaInu ecosystem team member Vet Kusama has sparked fresh speculation in the $SHIB community after hinting that August could bring a major announcement from two prominent figures in the ecosystem.
In a post on X today, Vet Kusama urged the community to stay alert, suggesting that Shytoshi Kusama and Kaal Dhairya could make an announcement before the month ends. He also encouraged Shiba Inu supporters to turn on their notifications so they do not miss the potential development, which he described as “Big News.”

Crypto exchange UEX. US has announced the listing of #ShibaInu (SHIB), giving users another avenue to trade and access financial services tied to the meme coin.
According to the exchange, users can now trade Shiba Inu against USDT and other major assets. In addition, they can purchase the token through PayPal, bank wire transfers, or card payments.
Moreover, UEX. US has introduced a 4.5% APY Savings Rewards rate for $SHIB from the first day. The platform also allows users to borrow up to 90% of their SHIB holdings without selling their tokens.
The listing expands SHIB’s reach among exchange users and adds another trading venue for the asset. Notably, the announcement comes about a week after Australian-based exchange FrameEx listed SHIB, after which the token briefly climbed to $0.00001004.

XRP And SHIB Gain Major New Access To UK Investors
Robinhood is expanding its crypto offering in the UK through Bitstamp, adding more than 50 digital assets to its app.
The rollout begins this week for eligible customers. Available tokens include Bitcoin $BTC, Ethereum $ETH, $XRP and Hyperliquid $HYPE, Cardano, $ADA, and Chainlink $LINK.
Users can trade crypto directly alongside stocks and shares ISAs in the same app.
Robinhood said its new UK crypto service comes with zero trading fees and no account maintenance or custody charges. Network fees may still apply to blockchain transfers.
According to data from Shibariumscan, the #ShibaInu L2 blockchain processed 4,480 transactions on August 9, marking a one-month high.
The figure represents a dramatic recovery from the 738 transactions recorded on August 8. As a result, Shibarium’s daily transaction count jumped 507% within 24 hours.
The latest increase interrupts a prolonged decline in network activity. For context, Shibarium processed 5,170 transactions on July 10. However, daily activity gradually weakened afterward, eventually falling below 1,000 transactions for several consecutive days by August 2.
Therefore, the sharp increase recorded on August 9 represents a notable shift in network activity. Nevertheless, it remains unclear whether Shibarium can maintain this momentum over the coming days. $SHIB

Meme Coins Need Shiba Inu, Dogecoin To Rally
Crypto commentator David Gokhshtein says the meme coin market performs best when its biggest names move.
In a recent X post, he questioned why investors chase the next dogecoin:native, ethereum:0x95ad61b0a150d79219dcf64e1e6cc01f0b64c4ce, or ethereum:0x6982508145454ce325ddbe47a25d4ec3d2311933. According to Gokhshtein, many ignore the leaders already driving the sector.
