Shiba Inu Market Cap History
Meanwhile, the latest surge to $11 billion is not the farthest Shiba Inu’s market cap has reached in history. In fact, its market cap is down over 70% from its historical peak.
For context, SHIB’s market cap surged to $37.81 billion during the 2021 bull run, as its price hit the all-time high of $0.00008845. The uptick pushed Shiba Inu into the top ten crypto ranking, sitting above Dogecoin at the ninth position.

Since then, SHIB’s market cap has declined with its price, hitting as low as $7.5 billion in September. Meanwhile, it has appreciated over 43% from this low, currently trading at eleven figures.
Future Price Outlook
As the increase in the market cap is a function of a price uptrend, analysts have speculated new highs for both metrics. Notably, these market spectators have tipped both fundamental and technical analyses to propel SHIB to greater heights.
