Shiba Inu Stuck Between $0.000012–$0.000013: Can SHIB Reclaim $0.00008845

As the second half of 2025 gradually winds down, some investors are beginning to wonder whether Shiba Inu can reclaim its all-time high (ATH) before the year ends.

For context, Shiba Inu reached its peak price of $0.00008845 on October 28, 2021, nearly four years ago, during the 2020/2021 bull cycle. Since then, SHIB’s value has dropped significantly and currently hovers around the $0.000012 level.

Despite this, many remain confident that Shiba Inu could revisit its previous ATH, or even surpass it, before the end of the year.

With SHIB consolidating within this tight range, investors are beginning to question the coin’s ability to revisit its previous ATH this year.

Path to Previous ATH

At the time of writing, Shiba Inu is trading at $0.00001255—down 17.01% over the past month, 7.48% in the past week, and 4.49% in the past 24 hours.

To revisit its previous ATH of $0.00008845, SHIB would need to rally 604.78% from its current level. This would push its market cap to approximately $52.12 billion, assuming the supply remains at around 589.25 trillion tokens.

Potential Factors to Help SHIB Revisit ATH

Several factors could help Shiba Inu reclaim or even surpass its previous all-time high

Revive Community Engagement

First, SHIB needs the same level of community engagement that propelled its price during the 2020/2021 cycle. The community played a crucial role in that rally by being highly active on social media, promoting SHIB’s potential, and lobbying for exchange listings.

That enthusiasm has cooled off in recent times. A revival in grassroots community efforts could reignite momentum for a major rally.

Token Burns

Another strategy to boost SHIB’s price is to reduce its supply through token burns. While several initiatives, such as burning a portion of Shibarium gas fees, are in place, the total burned supply has remained relatively stagnant at around 410 trillion since May 2021.

A renewed and more aggressive burn campaign could help propel SHIB back toward the $0.00008845 level.

Creating Real-World Utility for SHIB

While token burns can help reduce supply, the community is also calling on the development team to focus on creating real-world utility for SHIB.

This involves integrating SHIB into products, tools, and ecosystems. Such integration would drive stronger demand, ultimately boosting its value.

Spot SHIB ETF

Despite its popularity, Shiba Inu has yet to see a single spot ETF application filed in the U.S. Asset managers such as Bitwise have shown no interest. Meanwhile, the SEC is currently reviewing ETF applications for other meme tokens like Dogecoin and Official Trump.

A spot SHIB ETF could provide institutional investors with exposure to the asset, potentially driving demand and helping fuel a rally back to its ATH.

The Team’s Identity

The anonymity of Shiba Inu’s development team has kept some investors on the sidelines. While anonymity wasn’t a major concern during the project’s early days, some community members are now raising concerns.

Revealing the identities of the developers could reignite confidence and attract renewed interest in the project.
