Lucie, the marketing lead for Shiba Inu, has openly criticized WazirX while addressing the recent delisting of SHIB by two centralized exchanges. While she didn’t name the platforms directly, her post on X clarified that WazirX was among those she was referring to.
In her words: “Remember WazirX? Hotbit? FTX? All looked solid — until they weren’t.”
Lucie said the delisting was not about volume, calling the move manipulative. She clarified that SHIB was “far from the lowest volume” on the platforms, adding that users should not panic or fuel unnecessary FUD.
Lucie called out some exchanges for listing only those tokens that pay them big money, while promoting quick, low-quality projects that don’t last. She also took a dig at the greed and unreliability of certain centralized platforms, making it clear she doesn’t trust or use them.
According to her, she has never used the two exchanges in question and never will. She expressed her trust in decentralized finance and believes exchanges should only be used for basic swapping, not long-term dependence.
She urged the SHIB community to shift focus towards decentralized finance and reduce dependence on centralized entities. According to her, this moment should serve as a reminder of what the ecosystem truly stands for: “This is about real financial freedom, not centralized control.”
Lucie also pointed out that high-profile tokens like XRP were delisted in the past, yet managed to survive. “SHIB faced FUD like this. XRP got delisted too during their lawsuit. Shit happens. But we can’t keep depending on shady third-party manipulation.”
As of writing, SHIB is up around 1% in the last 24 hours, trading at $0.00001141, and WazirX currently trades at $0.02180, pumping almost 3%. But Lucie’s message to the community remains clear: focus on building, embrace DeFi, and avoid getting distracted by centralized exchange drama.
