For Shiba Inu price to reach $1 its market cap would need to be over 589 trillion , an almost impossible number that’s bigger than the global economy. That alone makes the $1 dream seem more like a myth than a reality.
Recent developments haven’t done much to change that. While the SHIB team has launched Shibarium, a layer 2 blockchain to speed up transactions and reduce gas fees , it hasn’t delivered the kind of adoption needed to push SHIB higher. Shibarium’s launch was marred by technical issues and while improvements have been made, it remains to be seen if this will translate to sustained token demand.
The market is divided. Some think that with enough time, community, and consistent token burns, SHIB will climb higher. Others think its best days are behind it and that price appreciation will be limited due to market cap constraints.
Even the most optimistic 2025 forecasts for Shiba Inu price don’t have it above $0.00005. That’s a fraction of a cent, nowhere near the dollar mark many holders are hoping for.
Despite this SHIB still has a special place in crypto culture. The SHIB Army is still advocating for adoption and expansion. Exchanges still list SHIB, merchants are adding it as a payment option and it’s still a popular asset for retail traders looking for high risk high reward opportunities. But when it comes to serious long term gains or realistic paths to $1, investors are looking elsewhere.
