CoinCodex, a well-known data analysis platform, has evaluated the potential for Shiba Inu (SHIB) to achieve a price of $0.01 while establishing a six-year timeline.
Shiba Inu is currently facing a challenging market period, losing 10% value over the past week and 13% over the past month. While Shiba Inu is trading at $0.000016, some supporters remain optimistic about a possible rally to $0.01.
CoinCodex’s analysis specifically considers the feasibility of SHIB reaching $1 or $0.50, but the firm warns that these targets are unlikely under present market conditions.
The report highlights that while reaching $1 or $0.50 seems improbable, Shiba Inu may still experience astronomical price increases. It references SHIB’s remarkable surge of 85,000,000% in 2021 as evidence of its potential for significant growth.
CoinCodex also points out that replicating the 2021 rally has been challenging for SHIB due to the broader market condition and the asset’s considerable supply, which limits further rallies.
The Supply Challenge for Shiba Inu
To achieve prices of $0.50 or $1, the report argues that a substantial reduction in SHIB’s supply is necessary. If SHIB were to rise to $0.01 with its current supply of 589 trillion tokens, its market capitalization would soar to $5.89 trillion.
For comparison, the total crypto asset market cap is around $2.29 trillion. Also, Apple and Microsoft are valued at $3.52 trillion and $3.18 trillion, respectively. Thus, maintaining its current supply would make Shiba Inu more valuable than the entire cryptocurrency market and these trillion-dollar firms, which is not feasible.
Meanwhile, CoinCodex suggests that one viable solution to the supply issue is token burns. The massive increase in SHIB’s price in 2021 was partly due to Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin burning 410 trillion SHIB tokens that year.
The analysis stresses that reducing SHIB’s supply is essential for it to have a shot at reaching $0.01. However, achieving such a large-scale burn like that of Buterin may not be realistic at this time. This led CoinCodex to conclude that while reaching these price points is unlikely, it cannot be completely dismissed.
Future Price Projections for Shiba Inu
Taking into account overall market trends, CoinCodex predicts that Shiba Inu could reach approximately $0.001978 by 2030, which would represent a staggering 12,262% increase from its current price of $0.000016.
