The Shiba Inu (SHIB) community has long harbored dreams of reaching the coveted one-cent milestone. However, some bullish investors and analysts believe that SHIB has even grander ambitions. Bitcoin analysts Yazan XBT and Jason Williams are among those who envision Shiba Inu reaching a remarkable 5 cents. Currently trading at $0.00001336, SHIB has seen a 2.21% uptick in the past 24 hours. To hit the 5-cent mark, SHIB would need an astronomical rise of approximately 374,151.5%.
Historical Precedents
While such predictions might seem outlandish, history often surprises us. Just a year after the 2020 Bitcoin halving, Shiba Inu’s price skyrocketed by a staggering 884,400%. This past performance raises questions about whether the 5-cent target is entirely beyond reach.
The Analysts’ Predictions
Yazan XBT and Jason Williams are particularly optimistic. Williams believes that if Bitcoin reaches $250,000, Shiba Inu could potentially hit $0.05. Yazan XBT, on the other hand, argues that if Bitcoin’s price surges to an eye-watering $777,000, SHIB might also reach the 5-cent milestone. Both analysts assert that this could happen within the 2024–2025 market cycle.
Market Realities and Challenges
However, achieving this price target involves significant hurdles. Williams’ Bitcoin target of $250,000 would necessitate a Bitcoin market capitalization of approximately $5.25 trillion. Yazan’s scenario, with Bitcoin reaching $777,000, would imply a market cap of around $16 trillion. For Shiba Inu to hit 5 cents with its current supply, the market value would need to balloon to an unprecedented $29 trillion—far surpassing Bitcoin’s current market cap and making this prediction seem highly speculative.
According to Telegaon, even under the most optimistic conditions, Shiba Inu may only reach this lofty goal by 2040. As the crypto market continues to evolve, it’s clear that while the dream of 5 cents is exciting, it remains a distant possibility for now. Stay tuned for more updates as the Shiba Inu saga unfolds!
