Shiba Inu lead developer Shytoshi Kusama made a bold recommendation to Elon Musk, proposing the potential adoption of S.H.I.B. to the incoming Donald Trump administration.
The development occurred on X earlier today, following a conversation by Republican Party member Vivek Ramaswamy. Ramaswamy raised the question of how the incoming Trump administration could be structured to address the nation’s challenges effectively.
Specifically, Ramaswamy emphasized that a group of small-government revolutionaries would be the key to saving the United States. In response, Elon Musk expressed strong support for Ramaswamy’s stance.
Musk, a key figure in the incoming Trump administration, further expressed interest in hearing recommendations for potential roles for President Trump to consider.
This open call for input caught the attention of Shytoshi Kusama, the leader of the Shiba Inu ecosystem. Seizing the opportunity, Kusama submitted a SHIB-themed proposal for consideration.

Specifically, Kusama suggested that the recently unveiled Strategic Hub for Innovation in Blockchain (S.H.I.B.) could be a key initiative for the Trump administration. He shared a link with Musk, providing more details on the proposal and its potential benefits.

The S.H.I.B. proposal, first introduced by Kusama last week, outlines the creation of a cutting-edge blockchain innovation hub in a U.S. city. The goal is to establish the U.S. as a global leader in blockchain technology and sustainable development.
The hub would serve as a catalyst for economic growth, job creation, and innovation across industries like finance, healthcare, and energy.
In addition to fostering economic growth, the hub would strengthen national security through blockchain-based solutions for cybersecurity and infrastructure protection. It would also focus on sustainability by integrating green building practices, renewable energy, and circular economy models.
The initiative would partner with universities to develop talent and promote STEM education, creating a skilled workforce for the future.
Projected Outcomes from S.H.I.B.
The projected outcomes for the S.H.I.B. initiative include creating 5,000 jobs within the first 1-2 years, attracting over 100 blockchain startups, and contributing $500 million to the local economy.
In 3-5 years, the hub is expected to employ 20,000 workers and generate $2 billion annually. In the long term, it could generate more than $5 billion per year, solidifying the U.S. as a leader in blockchain technology.
The project’s total estimated cost is $1.3 billion to $2.35 billion over 5-10 years, with a projected return of $10 for every $1 invested. This positions the S.H.I.B. initiative as a high-impact, long-term strategy for national growth, technological leadership, and sustainability.
Essentially, Kusama is optimistic that, with the support of the incoming administration, this ambitious project could come to fruition, advancing the crypto industry and positioning the U.S. as a global leader in blockchain innovation for decades to come.
