Shib main developer Shytoshi Kusama said July was an important month for the Shib community. He called it the “AI month”, in allusion to the focus, which are set by projects and initiatives in the field of artificial intelligence.
The Shib development team plans to make several updates and new AI-driven projects fit for integration with new technologies.
Kusama’s comments point out that the Shiba Inu team has been preparing for this since the beginning of 2025. In a short video clip, Kusama explained the period from January to June, also pointing out how the world’s attention was distracted by global events such as the Israeli-Iranian conflict in June.
JULY is… JUL-AI. Prepare for many announcements, releases, and discussions around everything we’ve built thus far and where we see the future going. Talk soon: pic.twitter.com/mG3Rq55buR

The chief developer announced several implementations that on the one hand implement past developments and prepare the soil for new innovations. Already in May he announced the development of a report on the connection between KI, Shiba Inu and the Shy-Token.
In the next phase, this paper will be expected to define the role of Shib in the technological development driven by AI.
In response to Kusama’s update, the Shiba Inu token price recorded an increase of 0.67 % in the last 24 hours and noted at $ 0.00001140 at the time this article was created. The intraday course showed an initial slump around midnight, followed by a steady relaxation until early morning, with the profits being retained until 9 a.m.
The market capitalization of the token is currently approximately $ 6.71 billion, whereby market capitalization reflects full liquidity. Despite the price increase, Shib recorded a decline in the trading volume by 22.68 % to $ 93.51 million.
The ratio of volume to market capitalization is still low at 1.37 %, which indicates that commercial activity is low compared to the entire token offer. The circulating range of Shiba Inu remains near its maximum at around 589.5 trillion tokens, spread over around 1.51 million unique owners.
Kusamas focused on AI focused in the middle of ongoing discussions within the Shiba Inu Community and interactions with remarkable crypto personalities. Recently, the Shiba Inu developer Kaal Dhairya turned publicly to the Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin and pointed out the important contribution from Shib to the Cryptorelief Initiative.
Dhairya pointed out that Buterin’s recognition on social media was transferred to the role of Shib in the multi-billion dollar donation, which is still one of the largest crypto donations for public health.
It’s the same situation as with cryptorelief: I quickly sent a pile of SHIB, thinking it would surely drop 100x in a few days so I had to act fast, and expecting they would be able to cash out at most like $10-25m. But of course SHIB massively outperformed my expectations…

Vitalik Buterin’s earlier participation in Shib led to the feeling of 50% of the total SHIB offer from the anonymous creator of the project, Ryoshi. Butterin later burned a large part of these tokens and supported charity efforts with the Shiba Inu community.
