SHIBA INU's 18,500% Climb to $0.01: Realistic or Just Hope?

According to The Crypto Basic, SHIBA INU's community still holds strong, even amid a market downturn. The price of SHIB currently sits at $0.00001213, a steep 18,500% away from the long-promised $0.01 mark.

In the persistent race toward high-value returns, SHIBA INU remains a dominant player — but the odds of hitting $0.01 are starting to look slim. According to the Shiba Inu team, while $1 isn’t “impossible,” a more realistic long-term target is $0.01, which would be supported by market growth and burning mechanisms on Shibarium.

SHIB, currently trading at $0.00001213, has a massive supply hurdle to overcome as well, with 589 trillion tokens in circulation. That makes the path to $0.01 equal to an 18,500% climb — a dream for some but a waiting game for most.

"It will take time, adoption, and patience for the price to reach $0.01 or higher. We need to see a 10x global market cap increase, complete Shibarium integration and burning, and widespread adoption of Shib coins and products for this to be possible," said SHIB’s head of marketing, Lucie.

However, even the community acknowledges that the timeline is hazy and largely depends on market performance and user activity. Despite SHIB’s 2021 momentum cooling and many retail investors seeking fresh opportunities for exponential growth, several new projects are emerging this year.

Among them, MAGACOIN FINANCE has been making waves as one of the Cheap Cryptos to Invest In in 2025, having already secured over 12,500 unique holders and completed an audit for its smart contract. The project is highlighting a faster path to potentially massive ROI with its Stage 6 now sold out completely.

This pushes it into the final stages ahead of its planned listing on major exchanges, where it’s expected to trade at around $0.007 — a 25x return for early buyers who got in during Stage 1 at $0.0002908. With its viral community engagement, clear roadmap, and real-world utility via staking and rewards, it’s quickly being recognized as the next viral memecoin for 2025.

SHIBA INU’s 18,500% Climb to $0.01: Realistic or Just Hope?

According to The Crypto Basic, the spirit of SHIBA INU’s community remains strong despite a recent downturn. The price of SHIB is currently at $0.00001213, placing it a steep 18,500% away from the long-promised $0.01 mark.

While optimistic about reaching that level, SHIB’s marketing lead, Lucie, is also being transparent about the challenges ahead. She mentioned that it will take significant time, adoption, and consistent token burns to even approach it.

Moreover, analysts suggest that a global crypto market expansion and increased SHIB utility through payment systems, gaming, and the Shibarium ecosystem could push it forward. However, with a circulating supply of 589 trillion, reaching $1 would require a $589 trillion market cap — far beyond today’s $129 trillion global money supply and even gold’s $21.8 trillion cap.

So, while not impossible, it’s a waiting game that many investors are growing impatient with.

“It will take time, adoption, and patience for the price to reach $0.01 or higher. We need to see a 10x global market cap increase, complete Shibarium integration and burning, and widespread adoption of Shib coins and products for this to be possible. It is not impossible, but it will take time and cooperation from the whole Shib community,” said Lucie.

The good news is that Shib is preparing for the future. We are working hard to create new products and partnerships that will expand the Shib ecosystem and bring more value to Shib coins. We are also working closely with the Shibarium developers to ensure that the new layer-2 scaling solution is launched smoothly and successfully.

Shibarium is expected to increase throughput and reduce gas fees, which could lead to increased demand for Shib coins and, ultimately, to price appreciation. In addition, the Shibarium ecosystem is expected to feature a burning mechanism that will reduce the total supply of Shib coins over time.

This could have a positive impact on the price of Shib in the long term. However, it is important to note that the burning rate will depend on the activity on Shibarium. If the ecosystem is successful and there is high demand for Shib coins, then the burning rate could be significant.

Overall, SHIB has a long way to go before it reaches $0.01. However, the project is making progress, and there are several factors that could lead to a breakout in the coming year. If SHIB can continue to innovate and
