• Despite recent price volatility, Shiba Inu (SHIB) has shown resilience, recovering from a low of $0.00001743 to $0.00001837.
• Three factors could drive significant price growth for SHIB: aggressive token burns, increased adoption of its Layer-2 network Shibarium, and the expansion of its ecosystem.

Shiba Inu (SHIB) has grabbed market attention as Shytoshi Kusama teased the community about an important partnership. Kusama highlighted on X that SHIB is poised for an “extremely powerful partnership” that will be announced shortly. He even invited influencers to discuss it and create hype in the community. The announcement comes as Kusama takes the role of a “Lead Ambassador” for the project, as mentioned in our previous news story. 

Market Position & Recent Performance Of Shiba Inu

Among the many memecoins that emerged after Dogecoin (DOGE), Shiba Inu has managed to stand out as a major player in the market. While it is highly prominent, SHIB has still experienced volatility with its price having dropped significantly over the past few weeks. The asset recently fell from a high of $0.00002 to a low of $0.00001743, an 8% decline that tested investor sentiment. However, it soon recovered to $0.00001837, showing resilience.

SHIB price has declined by over 13% since the beginning of 2025, according to our data. Moreover, the token has dropped by 11.67% in the last seven days and by 15% in the last 30 days. SHIB is currently priced at $0.00001806 with a market capitalization of $10.66 billion.

According to analytics from IntoTheBlock, 47.60% of SHIB holders are in losses, with 682,390 addresses, while 50.2% of the addresses, 719,640, are still in profit. The remaining 2.2%, or 31,540 addresses, are at break-even levels. Despite the market downturns, SHIB holders remain optimistic due to bullish price predictions.

CoinCodex analysts even think that a serious price upswing may appear on SHIB; they say a 66% growth during February is what it might gain and then forecast SHIB for the very beginning of February to be equal to $0.00003048, therefore suggesting a bullish tendency of the coin.

Whilst, long-term projections for SHIB remain ambitious, with price target discussions ranging from a low of $0.001 to a high of $0.01. To reach $0.001, SHIB would need to rise by 4,880%, pushing the market cap to $589.25 billion. A climb to $0.01 would require an astronomical 49,700% surge, bringing the market cap to $5.89 trillion.

Factors Why SHIB Price Is Poised For Major Rally

The following three factors could propel SHIB price to such dizzying heights:

1. Aggressive Token Burns: At the moment, there are 589.25 trillion coins in circulation, a significant hurdle before prices can appreciate. Responses so far include burns encouraged through Shibarium. For further price appreciation, more extensive and aggressive burns might be needed.
2. Shibarium Adoption: Shibarium is the Layer-2 network for Shiba Inu, built to offer cheap and efficient transactions. Adoption remains low compared to other blockchains like Ethereum and Solana. Increased adoption and transaction volume in Shibarium could increase the utility of SHIB, leading to higher demand and more token burns, as mentioned in our previous report.
3. Ecosystem Expansion: Shiba Inu’s team has several projects in development, including SHIB: The Metaverse, Shiba Eternity, and SHIB Marketplace. While ShibaSwap has launched, others remain incomplete. Full deployment of these projects could. attract new users, driving further demand for SHIB.
