Headline: Tensions Flare Between Oscar Token and Shiba Inu Team as Allegations Surface
Oscar token — once an ally of Shiba Inu, credited with introducing a deflationary model and running charitable initiatives that supported the SHIB community — has publicly broken with the Shiba Inu team.
In a blunt statement on X, Oscar accused the Shiba Inu team of abandoning the project’s founding principles. Oscar claims the team “no longer represents Ryoshi’s vision” and that its agenda “is not aligned with the interests of the SHIB army.” The post went further, alleging the Shiba Inu team has used SHIB for “personal financial interests,” adding, “This is not SHIB. It never was.” The Shiba Inu team has not yet replied to Oscar’s accusations.
Despite the fallout, Oscar says it will continue supporting the Shibarium network through its charity portal, noting the SHIB community “will always be welcome within our ecosystem.” Oscar framed its public statement as a clarification that it no longer supports the official @Shibtoken account.
The dispute follows wider dissatisfaction in the ecosystem: commentators have pointed to Shiba Inu’s muted price performance over the past two years and claims that the core team has sought other revenue sources. The split also comes on the heels of a separate confrontation involving K9 Finance, which warned it would withdraw support for Shiba Inu unless victims of a $2.4 million hack are compensated by January 6, 2026.
What this means: the rift highlights growing tensions between token projects, their founding narratives, and community expectations. With multiple partners publicly pressing Shiba Inu for accountability — and with no official response so far — the scandal could strain community confidence unless the core team addresses the accusations and the outstanding hack-related demands.
