Lucie, the social media marketing lead for the Shiba Inu team, has made another statement that has caused a stir in the crypto world. Previously, Lucie had focused on centralized crypto exchanges, boldly speaking out about their token listing processes. In her latest comments, Lucie mentioned Dogecoin and its biggest supporter, Tesla CEO Elon Musk. According to Lucie, Musk no longer has the power to pump Dogecoin (DOGE) like he once did, meaning he can’t drive its price up as dramatically as before. This claim has generated significant attention in the crypto markets.
Lucie’s Bold Claims About Exchanges
Lucie’s initial remarks on X (formerly Twitter) about centralized crypto exchanges raised eyebrows. She accused these platforms of manipulating the listing processes for meme coins. According to Lucie, exchanges are not as straightforward as they seem. She claims that exchanges don’t focus on the efforts made by project teams or investments into their ecosystems. Instead, she argued that unless a fee is paid, coins don’t get listed. These accusations sparked heated debate within the crypto community, shocking many investors.
So, you get your desired listing—hypothetically speaking.
What will happen?
Probably nothing.
The market is heavily manipulated, and everyone is playing their own games.
I still believe in an upcoming bull market, but if you observe the politics, no exchanges are pumping…

Lucie pointed out how quickly some popular tokens are listed on exchanges, suggesting that these platforms are more interested in the profits they can make from trading meme coins. She highlighted that many projects fail to meet expectations after being listed, leaving investors disappointed. According to Lucie, the crypto market is highly manipulated, with exchanges playing a key role. “Everyone in the market is playing their own game,” she wrote, warning that this could lead to trust issues in the long term.
Meme Coin DOGE and Elon Musk: “Even Elon Can’t Pump DOGE Anymore”
Lucie made another bold claim regarding Dogecoin, suggesting that neither Elon Musk nor anyone else can drive a significant price increase for the coin anymore. She based this on the fact that exchanges are no longer willing to pump any cryptocurrency. Lucie believes that DOGE and many other cryptos are struggling to reach desired price levels due to a lack of new investors and insufficient adoption.
Despite these critical remarks, Lucie also offered some encouraging words to the crypto community. She emphasized the importance of supporting the Shiba Inu ecosystem, particularly Shibarium. “We need to support Shibarium. The team is constantly building,” she said, urging the community to remain patient. Lucie’s comments seem aimed at strengthening long-term investor confidence, despite the uncertainty currently plaguing the crypto market.
