Shytoshi Kusama, the principal creator of Shiba Inu, firmly believes that the memecoin ecosystem can potentially address the CrowdStrike debacle.

CrowdStrike Failure Ripples Through Many Companies

On Thursday, the United States cybersecurity business issued an update that significantly impacted IT systems worldwide, causing disruptions to their operations, Coingape reported.

Several companies, such as emergency services, airlines, and stock exchanges, have reported system failures after using CrowdStrike's services. To provide context, a software flaw in the most recent release of CrowdStrike Falcon EDR resulted in widespread system failures and crashes, including the infamous "blue screen of death," affecting millions of Windows users worldwide. This issue significantly affected several industries, such as airlines, trains, stock exchanges, and other organizations.

Shytoshi Kusama emphasized the significant impact of the CrowdStrike event on numerous enterprises, emphasizing the urgent requirement for a new global operating system. The ideal solution should be decentralized and independent of a central authority. Instead, it ought to be decentralized and fueled by Web 3.0 technology.

He says the Shiba Inu ecosystem is an ideal example, particularly considering why Web 3.0 is the future. Kusama emphasized transitioning from a Web2 mindset and software to a more advanced degree of involvement, safeguarding, and ingenuity.

Battle Between TradFi And Web3.0

The global outage affected traditional banking organizations such as Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Chase Bank, and Capital One.

Polygon Labs, a CrowdStrike client, asserted that they were not impacted by the worldwide service disruption. On Friday, the Chief Information Security Officer (CISO), Mudit Gupta, stated that the procedure refrains from deploying non-critical updates without conducting testing first. These are some of the security measures implemented by the company.

In addition, Bybit has verified that the outage did not impact it. By telling its clients and traders that "it's very much business as usual at Bybit," the company has certified that its operations are unaffected. Cryptocurrency and Web 3.0 companies have largely remained unaffected by the outage. Regrettably, for traditional finance (TradFi), this highlights the lack of dependability in current systems, enhancing the attractiveness of cryptocurrency and blockchain technology.

As a result, cryptocurrency experts have cautioned companies that still depend on Web2 for their operations. They believe that the power failure is yet another reminder for these corporations and the industry. Shytoshi Kusama suggests that blockchain technology and digital assets such as Shiba Inu could serve as long-term solutions.
