Shiba Inu ‘Massively Outperformed My Expectations’: Vitalik Buterin

On Mar 27, 2024

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin recently took to X and said that Shiba Inu (SHIB) has ‘massively outperformed’ his expectations. Buterin’s comments came after an X user expressed confusion about his donations to FLI (Future of Life Institute), a non-profit focusing on developing safety rules for Artificial Intelligence (AI).

There were some rumors that FLI was receiving undervalued assets as donations. However, the Ethereum co-founder highlighted that he faced a similar situation with his Shiba Inu (SHIB) donations to CryptoRelief India during the COVID pandemic.

Buterin stated, ‘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.‘

SHIB’s bullish outlook for April could be due to Bitcoin’s (BTC) halving event, which may trigger another bull run for the crypto market.
