The Shiba Inu (SHIB) team has fired back at skeptics questioning the project’s longevity and relevance, pointing to on-chain activity and trading metrics that prove the meme-inspired token remains one of the most active assets in the crypto market.
SHIB Eyes a Comeback as Bitcoin Hits Record High
After Bitcoin surged to a new all-time high of $126,198, the official Shiba Inu X account teased that SHIB could be next in line to chase its own record peak.
At the time of the post, SHIB traded around $0.00001290, meaning it would need a 586% rally to surpass its previous ATH of $0.00008845 set in October 2021.
While loyal holders celebrated the optimism, many analysts remained cautious — questioning whether SHIB’s ecosystem had enough momentum to spark such a dramatic comeback.
“Shiba Inu is still alive,” the team declared confidently, emphasizing that SHIB not only survives but continues to thrive amid fierce market competition.
Activity Remains High, But Price Paints a Different Picture
Despite the team’s reassurance, SHIB’s market performance tells a more complicated story.
Since its peak in 2021, the token’s price has plunged 85.5%, and it’s down another 39.6% year-to-date, stuck in the narrow trading band near $0.00001.
Several long-time community members attribute the sluggish price action to internal disputes, leadership opacity, and team members promoting tokens outside the Shiba Inu ecosystem, which has eroded investor confidence.
Additionally, the enormous circulating supply remains one of SHIB’s biggest hurdles. Despite burning 41% of its original 1 quadrillion supply, the token still has 589.24 trillion SHIB in circulation, making meaningful price appreciation extremely difficult without more aggressive token burns.
Can SHIB Rekindle Its Spark?
The Shiba Inu ecosystem — featuring Shibarium, SHIB: The Metaverse, and other offshoots — has kept development alive, but critics argue that none have delivered a true breakout use case capable of driving demand.
Market analysts warn that unless the team addresses these lingering challenges — supply inflation, leadership transparency, and ecosystem clarity — SHIB risks fading further from its former glory.
Still, for millions of holders worldwide, Shiba Inu remains a symbol of community-driven hope. Whether that passion can fuel another explosive rally, however, remains the biggest question of all.
