With only a few weeks left before the end of 2025, Shiba Inu community members are now considering whether SHIB might reach $0.0001 next year.
The broader Shiba Inu community entered 2025 with strong optimism, expecting SHIB to reach a new all-time high of at least $0.0001, in line with the typical four-year market cycle.
SHIB to $0.0001 Prediction
Several crypto analysts reinforced this outlook with bullish forecasts. For example, Eunice Wong predicted last year that SHIB would break above $0.0001 and eventually climb to $0.000125 during the second phase of the 2025 bull run. Similarly, a Forbes article projected that SHIB could trade between $0.0001 and $0.0003 this year.
However, instead of rallying towards these ambitious targets, Shiba Inu has moved in the opposite direction, falling sharply. After starting the year at $0.00002115, SHIB has plunged 60.51% to its current price of $0.000008351.
This decline is not unique to Shiba Inu. Other major crypto assets, including Dogecoin and Avalanche, have also recorded steep losses this year. With SHIB now trading at $0.000008351, it would need to surge 1,097% to reach $0.0001. For comparison, SHIB required only a 373% rally to hit that level in January when it traded around $0.00002115.
Can Shiba Inu Reach $0.0001 Next Year?
Even with this severe pullback, reaching $0.0001 by next year remains possible. Notably, Shiba Inu has delivered far larger rallies than the 1,097% needed now, most famously during the 2021 bull run. Therefore, a 1,097% climb within a year is still a realistic milestone for SHIB.
Upcoming Interest Rate Slash
Looking ahead, 2026 has been widely touted as a breakthrough year for the broader crypto market. For one, the U.S. Federal Reserve is expected to cut interest rates later this month. As observed in the past, crypto assets like Shiba Inu typically respond positively to looser monetary policy, and the potential slash is not expected to be different.
Anticipated CLARITY Act Passage
In addition, the upcoming CLARITY Act has emerged as another key catalyst that could pave the way for SHIB’s climb to $0.0001. The legislation, currently in the Senate, is expected to draw more investors into the market once it becomes law, potentially fueling a major rally across cryptocurrencies. Speculation suggests that this legislation could become law by 2026.
Potential ETF Filing
Speculation also suggests that Shiba Inu could eventually receive a spot ETF filing in the U.S. This speculation intensified after Grayscale highlighted SHIB among the assets eligible for spot ETF approval under SEC standards.
While no issuer has yet filed for a SHIB ETF, Grayscale’s statement indicates that a filing could come at any time. The impact of an ETF on a token’s price cannot be overstated; if it attracts strong inflows, it could drive sustained upward momentum for SHIB.
Shibarium to Welcome Privacy Features
Furthermore, the Shiba Inu ecosystem team announced that a major privacy upgrade will be introduced on Shibarium next year. Zama’s Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) technology will integrate with the network by Q2 2026, allowing developers to run confidential smart contracts. This enhancement could draw significant attention to Shibarium and the broader Shiba Inu ecosystem projects, including SHIB.
While these factors suggest that SHIB could reach $0.0001 next year, it remains uncertain whether this prediction will materialize. Notably, the popular prediction platform Changelly forecasts that SHIB will not hit $0.0001 until early 2032.
