Angel Investor Says XRP Doesn’t Need to Hit $10,000 to Change Your Life

The real value of XRP is not in its price but in its return on investment and utility, according to Armando Pantoja, an angel investor and crypto influencer.

He emphasized that XRP does not need to reach $10,000 to deliver meaningful returns for holders. Pantoja expressed this perspective in a recent video, addressing the common frustration among XRP holders about the token’s lack of dramatic price movement.

He noted that many retail investors are ready to give up, feeling that XRP is stagnant while other cryptocurrencies, like Bitcoin, continue to break records. However, Pantoja argues that this view misses the bigger picture.

Notably, Bitcoin set a new all-time high near $112,000 this month. In contrast, XRP remained around $2.30, failing to benefit from Bitcoin’s momentum. While this divergence has been a hot topic, Pantoja believes the discussion often overlooks the true value proposition.

Price Doesn’t Equal Potential

Instead of focusing solely on price, Pantoja emphasizes the importance of return on investment (ROI). He noted that while XRP trades below $3, its growth potential should be assessed relative to its cost of entry.

For example, tripling your investment in Bitcoin would require the asset to surpass $300,000. In contrast, XRP would only need to rise to just under $8 to deliver the same ROI.

He also points out that XRP’s market cap is only about 7% of Bitcoin’s, making significant percentage gains more feasible.

Pantoja believes that investors often overestimate the importance of absolute price targets and underestimate the ability of smaller-cap assets to deliver outsized returns.

Another argument XRP proponents use to counter the frustration surrounding XRP’s stagnation is its long-term performance. Notably, Bitcoin is up 52% over the past year, relative to its current price of $103,800.

Meanwhile, XRP, trading at $2.13, has seen a more impressive 312% gain over the same period.

XRP Is for Utility, Not Hype

Pantoja also commented on XRP’s core value proposition. He noted that its real-world utility sets XRP apart from many other cryptocurrencies.

XRP offers fast, low-cost international transactions. It can settle payments in under five seconds and process up to 1,500 transactions per second. It also offers performance metrics that rival traditional financial systems like SWIFT.

This infrastructure-focused approach positions XRP as a leading candidate for integration into future global payment systems, especially as financial institutions seek to modernize and streamline cross-border transactions, Pantoja noted.

At the same time, he encourages investors to shift their attention away from daily price charts and focus instead on long-term fundamentals. He stressed that XRP doesn’t need to hit $10,000 or even $100 to significantly impact someone’s financial future. What matters more is understanding the technology and potential for real-world adoption.

Bitcoin and XRP Aren’t Rivals

Rather than viewing XRP and Bitcoin as competing assets, Pantoja encourages investors to see them as complementary. Bitcoin serves as a store of value, akin to digital gold, while XRP is designed for utility and high-speed, real-world payments. Each has a distinct role in the evolving crypto ecosystem.

For informed investors, the question isn’t which asset is better. Instead, it is about how much of their portfolio should be allocated to each, based on their risk profile and investment goals.

iGaming Giant SharpLink to Raise $1B to Buy More Ethereum for Treasury

SharpLink has gone full MicroStrategy but for Ethereum after filing an intent form with the US SEC to raise $1 billion to buy the altcoin king.

The sports betting platform, on May 30, filed an S-3 ASR form with the US Securities and Exchange Commission, officially declaring its intent to issue securities worth a staggering $1 billion. SharpLink disclosed that the purpose of the fundraiser is to purchase more Ethereum for its reserve.

A Saylor Strategy, but for Ethereum

Notably, Bitcoin is slowly becoming a part of the balance sheet of a growing number of institutions globally, thanks to Michael Saylor’s successful Bitcoin strategy, applied at MicroStrategy. Meanwhile, SharpLink appears to be copying the playbook, as most have, but for the altcoin leader, Ethereum.

Initially, on May 27, the iGaming firm announced it has created an Ethereum-based treasury, nominating Joseph Lubin as chairman of its board of directors. For the uninitiated, Lubin is an Ethereum co-founder and the CEO of Consensys, an Ethereum-focused software production studio.

The announcement followed a $425 million securities purchase agreement, under which it offered its common stock at $6.15 per share to investors. Consensys led the funding round, with other notable investors including Pantera Capital, Digital Galaxy, and Ondo.

Three days later, SharpLink plans to raise another $1 billion to fund its Ethereum treasury. Friday’s S-3 ASR filing with the US SEC indicates that the firm intends to raise the cash by offering its common stock to qualified investors at $79.21 per share.

The Nasdaq-listed public firm would use proceeds from the offering largely to buy Ethereum. Meanwhile, the leftover funds will cover other expenses, such as general operating costs.

“Lubin Pulls a MicroStrategy for ETH”

Meanwhile, the announcement has sparked positive sentiments within the Ethereum community, as optimism of a bullish momentum intensifies. Among others, market enthusiasts also expressed excitement that Ethereum may have found its own Saylor and Strategy.

Eric Conner, an Ethereum and AI enthusiast, stated that Lubin “just pulled a MicroStrategy for ETH.” He expressed confidence that the deal would spell more demand for Ethereum, noting that the Saylor playbook now runs on Ethereum. 

Other reactions also followed the thought pattern, with another user, OxBoboShanti, mentioning that Ethereum finally has its own Saylor.

Remarkably, corporate firms are beginning to look beyond Bitcoin and have increasingly allocated to altcoins too. BTCS announced it would purchase $57.8 million worth of Ethereum earlier this month, while Nasdaq-listed Digital Commodity Capital Corporation revealed that it holds 103,000 XRP in its treasury.

SharpLink’s Stock Soars

Interestingly, SharpLink offered its stocks on May 27 at $6.15; three days later, it is now offering them at $79.21. This is a testament to the stock’s price explosion following its announcement of a strategic Ethereum reserve.

Its stock, under the ticker SBET, has surged 1,822% in the past five days, rallying from $3.99 to $76.70 at the time of writing. The uptick brings its monthly gains to 2,224% and year-to-date to 892%.

US SEC Can’t Protect Investors from TRUMP Meme Coin: Commissioner Hester Pierce

US SEC Can’t Protect Investors from TRUMP Meme Coin: Commissioner Hester Pierce

US SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce, also known as Crypto Mom, has reiterated that meme coins fall outside the regulator’s jurisdiction, indicating it cannot protect investors from the TRUMP meme coin.

Democrats are reeling over US President Donald Trump’s TRUMP token and his family’s growing involvement with the crypto industry. Some prominent market participants are also concerned and are looking to the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to act in the best interest of investors.

Meanwhile, US SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce has clarified that the agency can’t take any action regarding the TRUMP token. At her appearance at the 2025 Bitcoin Conference, she emphasized that not just the token, but meme coins in general do not fall under the purview of the securities watchdog.

“It’s important for people who are buying those to understand they are not getting the protections of the securities laws,” Pierce stated, reiterating her earlier stance that the agency would not get involved with meme coins. According to her, investors who enter the meme coin market should always be prepared to lose it all.

Memecoin Regulation Would Be an Overreach

The TRUMP token has not been far from controversy since its launch in January. The Solana-based meme coin surged to an all-time high of $75 a few days after its market debut, with Democrats insisting the US president used his political position to grow his wealth.

Meanwhile, the token has lost 85% of its value, raising another argument that the meme coin was a pump-and-dump scheme aimed at defrauding investors. Notably, the White House has denied all these claims, insisting they were false.

However, according to Peirce, the US SEC would not interfere in any of these. She urged due diligence, as the commission would not offer investors protection in matters related to memes. In her words, users should “be an adult” and not come complaining to the SEC if their pursuit of elusive gains in crypto memes goes sideways.

Recall that she has made a similar disclosure in the past. She told a Bloomberg reporter in February that most meme coins, including the TRUMP token, do not have a home under current securities regulations; hence, they are not within the SEC’s ambit.

Furthermore, Peirce discussed the prospect of a “meme coin commission” to address the growing investor concerns around the meme coin sector. However, she insisted that the decision hinges on whether Congress finds it necessarily a great idea.

Securities Classification is Contextual: Pierce

The US SEC has recently clarified that certain digital assets and network activities are not securities. While upholding that cryptocurrencies themselves are not securities, the agency’s Division of Corporation Finance also disclosed on May 29 that specific staking activities on proof-of-stake networks do not fall under the purview of securities law.

Nonetheless, Peirce stated in Las Vegas that while most cryptocurrencies are not securities themselves, how they are offered could constitute offering securities to investors. For context, if an issuer sells an asset that is not a security in a securities transaction, it automatically changes the context.

She mentioned that more digital assets would fall under securities law when stock and bond tokenization become rampant on-chain. However, the commissioner noted the SEC is working to provide clear guidelines for crypto firms.

Meanwhile, the SEC’s efforts to roll back regulation through enforcement were again evident in its latest move to dismiss its case against leading crypto exchange Binance and its co-founder, CZ, without prejudice.

Shiba Inu Forecast: Here’s What $2,500 in Shiba Inu Could Be Worth at $0.00055, $0.0035, and $0.025

Shiba Inu Forecast: Here’s What $2,500 in Shiba Inu Could Be Worth at $0.00055, $0.0035, and $0.025

With an investment of $2,500 in Shiba Inu today, investors could see mind-boggling gains if SHIB’s price ever rises to ambitious targets of $0.00055, $0.0035, or $0.025. 

Shiba Inu Suffers Dip Amid Broader Market Collapse 

The broader crypto market has continued its free fall into bearish territory, leaving no assets spared. In particular, Shiba Inu has experienced a significant 7.48% dip over the past 24 hours. Notably, it has sustained more losses within the 7-day timeframe, with dips rising to 13.48%. 

The recent plunge comes weeks after Shiba Inu registered a multi-month high of $0.00001757 on May 12, 2025. However, Shiba Inu’s price has since crashed to the $0.000012 mark. At press time, SHIB was trading at $0.00001256, representing a 28.51% decline from its peak price on May 12. 

More Shiba Inu Investors Incurred Loss

As expected, many investors suffered losses on their SHIB holdings following the latest crash. Data from IntoTheBlock shows that the number of addresses holding SHIB at a loss has increased. 

On May 26, the Crypto Basic reported that approximately 1.17 million wallets holding SHIB, representing 81.25% of all Shiba Inu’s on-chain addresses, were at a loss. 

Following the latest crash, the number of wallets on the losing side has increased to roughly 1.23 million, or 85.24% of Shiba Inu’s 1.44 million on-chain addresses, according to IntoTheBlock’s data. These addresses hold a combined 838.98 trillion SHIB tokens. 

Shiba Inu In and Out of Money metric

However, only 11.66% of Shiba Inu’s on-chain holders, representing 167,904 addresses with a combined holding of 114.75 trillion tokens, are in profit. As of May 26, the percentage of profitable addresses stood at 15.99%, or 230,256 wallets. 

Further, addresses at breakeven increased from 2.76% (39,744 addresses) to 3.10% (44,640 wallets). Their holdings also rose to 30.49 trillion SHIB from 27.15 trillion tokens held as of May 26. 

What a $2,500 SHIB Investment Today Could Be Worth at $0.00055, $0.0035, or $0.025

While the recent price dip has led to significant losses for many investors, it also presents an opportunity to accumulate SHIB at a discount. 

Specifically, with an investment of $2,500 at the current price of $0.00001256, users can scoop up 199,044,585 (199.04 million) SHIB. If this investment had been made on May 12, when SHIB traded at $0.00001757, it would have acquired only 142.28 million tokens.  

With Shiba Inu projected to reach lofty targets of $0.00055, $0.0035, or $0.025, the value of this 199.04 million SHIB portfolio would spike massively.  

For perspective, if SHIB’s price rises to $0.00055, a portfolio of 199.04 million tokens worth $2,500 today would be valued at $109,474, representing a return of roughly $107,000. 

Similarly, the portfolio’s value would spike to $696,656 if SHIB’s price increases to $0.0035 per token, raking in a return of $694,000. Further, if SHIB reaches an ambitious target of $0.025, the wallet containing 199.04 million tokens would be valued at $4.97 million. This represents a jaw-dropping return of over $4.9 million. 

SHIB to $0.00055, $0.0035, or $0.025 Predictions 

Hitting the $0.00055, $0.0035, or $0.025 targets would demand Shiba Inu’s price to rise by 4,278%, 27,766%, or 198,944%, respectively, from the current level of $0.00001256. 

Although Shiba Inu is currently trading with four zeros after its decimal, multiple experts opine that this might soon be a thing of the past. They expect SHIB’s price to rally significantly, eliminating some zeros along the way to reach lofty targets, such as $0.00055, $0.0035, or $0.025. 

Experts at Changelly predict that Shiba Inu will hit the $0.00055 target by February 2034, about nine years from now. However, Telegaon sees the prediction coming to fruition earlier by 2029. 

In addition, Changelly sees the $0.0035 target materializing between 2035 and 2039, while Telegaon expects it by 2030. Notably, Changelly did not set a specific timeline for when the $0.025 target would be reached. Nonetheless, Telegaon prediction platform sees it happening between 2036 and 2039. 

While some of these predictions, particularly the $0.025 forecast, might seem unrealistic, some analysts believe Shiba Inu could surpass this mark and aim for loftier targets. 

As reported earlier, Shiba Inu’s marketing lead, Lucie, shared ChatGPT insights, indicating SHIB could exceed those targets and move toward $1. However, the AI model proposed several factors that could take SHIB to the $1 level, including increased burns and overall growth of the crypto market.

XRP Not a Buy Yet? Top Analyst Reveals His Massive Buy Signal for XRP

A recent XRP analysis from a notable analyst highlights the necessary XRP buy signal, which might be the catalyst needed for XRP’s next bullish surge to new highs.

XRP enthusiasts are yearning for a repeat of the November-January rally, which made the asset one of the hottest in the crypto market. The fourth-largest cryptocurrency by market cap grew 578% during the three months, rising from 50 cents to $3.39.

Meanwhile, according to an X analysis from Daniel Liu, the prominent market watcher behind VirtualBacon, the recent sideways trend could be part of a broader bullish picture. He highlighted why this was necessary and the new signal for the next upsurge in his May 30 video commentary.

Analyst Waits on Bullish XRP Confirmation

Liu disclosed that XRP’s 37% drawdown from its January peak price is a healthy trend for the “very strong altcoin.” He highlighted that, typically, high-caliber coins that have experienced their first explosive run earlier in the bull cycle tend to retrace against Bitcoin midway.

However, the market watcher noted that the trend would soon cease, and XRP would make its comeback against Bitcoin, but only after another 22% correction. He identified the expected downside, which would place XRP’s price in a strong value range, as his buy signal and shared two ways the asset can achieve this.

XRP BTC 22 Retracement
XRP/BTC 22% Retracement

First, the XRP/BTC ratio chart will retrace 22% if Bitcoin stays steadily above $100,000 and XRP corrects 22% against the dollar. In this scenario, Liu indicates that XRP would likely recede further to $1.85, potentially triggering another retest of the crucial $2 support level.

XRP USD 22 Retracement
XRP/USD 22% Retracement

Interestingly, the analyst emphasized XRP’s earlier retest of the demand zone, which is becoming a fortress. The XRPL native token has tested the liquidity-packed level seven times since December and has rebounded extensively at each revisit. Remarkably, he stressed that the potential drop to $1.85 would be XRP’s lowest USD target for this bull market.

Second Scenario for 22% XRP/BTC Retracement

Meanwhile, the prominent commentator shared another way XRP’s ratio to Bitcoin could drop by 22%. This scenario would see XRP continue to consolidate around its current price, while Bitcoin puts in another 22% rally to a new all-time high.

BTC USD 22 Surge While XRP Consolidates
BTC/USD 22% Surge While XRP Consolidates

Liu noted that this would not just put XRP in a strong value range but also raise doubts among holders over the viability of their bag pumping. He mentioned that market users took a similar position against Solana and Ethereum a few months back, only for the assets to stun them with face-melting rallies.

According to the analyst, he would only then buy and hold XRP against Bitcoin for its next explosive run. However, he did not specifically mention XRP’s target for its second round of price explosion.

Bullish Targets for XRP

Nonetheless, several bullish targets exist for XRP, an asset that market expert Peter Brandt described as “everyone’s favorite.” For context, prominent XRP community researcher SMQKE predicted that XRP would dethrone altcoin leader Ethereum this year, an event that would see the token rally to at least $6.

Moreover, expert Egrag Crypto is growing increasingly confident that XRP will rally to $13 or $22. He cited a bullish engulfing on XRP’s yearly chart and expects a strong 13th candle performance for the asset.

Top Bitcoin Analyst George Tung Says XRP Can Realistically Reach $8 to $10

Top Bitcoin Analyst George Tung Says XRP Can Realistically Reach $8 to $10

In a recent interview with Altcoin Daily, George Tung, founder of CryptosRUs, shared his bullish outlook on XRP.

Tung predicts a potential rise to between $8 and $10 by the end of 2025. The veteran Bitcoin analyst cites XRP’s resilience across market cycles and strong fundamentals as major reasons behind his projection.

$8 to $10 XRP is a Conservative Estimate

During the conversation, George stated that a realistic target for XRP is in the $8 to $10 range, calling it a “conservative” estimate. As of today, XRP trades around $2.30, meaning a run to $10 would represent a potential 4x gain for current holders.

Discussing the factors that could make this outlook a reality in this cycle, Tung cited growing institutional interest in XRP. Specifically, he pointed to multiple XRP-focused exchange-traded fund (ETF) filings.

He believes that approval could significantly increase demand for XRP. In turn, more institutional capital seeking exposure to XRP would help drive its price higher.

XRP’s Track Record: “Survived Multiple Cycles”

Meanwhile, Altcoin Daily’s host, Aaron Arnold, emphasized XRP’s longevity and resilience, noting that it has weathered several crypto market cycles. Tung echoed this sentiment, suggesting that coins like XRP with a solid track record and strong fundamentals offer a safer entry point for new investors compared to chasing meme coins.

Tung also provided broader market context, suggesting that Bitcoin could still rise 1.5x to 2x from current levels. As for Ethereum, he sees a likelihood of 3x to 4x. In comparison, XRP’s potential for a 4x or 5x gain appears achievable, especially if broader market sentiment improves and liquidity flows back into altcoins, according to Tung.

Notably, he expects Bitcoin to peak between $200K and $300K in this cycle.

Interestingly, other analysts in the Bitcoin community also share his perspective on XRP. Most notably, Davinci Jeremie, famously known for saying XRP is going to zero, recently acknowledged the growing institutional interest in XRP and has since walked back his earlier skepticism. He now believes XRP could reach a peak of $24.

Don’t Chase 100x Gains Too Aggressively

When asked whether it’s realistic to turn $1,000 into $100,000 by the end of the year, George Tung cautioned against chasing such extreme returns without fully understanding the risks. According to him, aggressively aiming for 100x returns in a short time frame often leads to emotional decisions and costly mistakes.

Tung acknowledged that while meme coins like Pepe have delivered massive returns, the odds of repeating that success are now slim.

With thousands of new coins launching daily and only a few achieving long-term success, he emphasized the importance of timing and understanding the market landscape.

“You don’t have to go after the newest meme. Even the established ones can perform if the market improves,” he said.

For beginners, Tung advised allocating the majority of their funds to fundamentally strong projects, and only a small portion, perhaps 5% to 10%, to speculative plays like meme coins. He stressed the importance of patience and proper positioning over gambling for quick riches.

Top U.S. Exchange Set to Introduce Yield on XRP

Top U.S. Exchange Set to Introduce Yield on XRP

A leading U.S.-based exchange teases the imminent launch of XRP yield, potentially transforming XRP from a ‘hold only’ asset to one that earns interest for holders. 

The crypto exchange confirmed the upcoming initiative yesterday in an X post. According to the announcement, Uphold is working on enabling XRP holders to earn yields on their holdings. This initiative serves as Uphold’s response to the rising demand for XRP yields on its platform. 

Uphold Partners Flare Network for XRP Yields 

Notably, Uphold partnered with Flare Network for the initiative, potentially tapping into the project’s smart contract ecosystem. Following the partnership, Uphold announced plans to test XRP staking through Flare’s FAssets. 

It is noteworthy that XRP does not have a native staking mechanism, unlike proof-of-stake (PoS) assets, such as Ethereum. The technology underpinning XRP, the XRP Ledger (XRPL), verifies transactions using a consensus protocol, prohibiting native staking on the network. 

However, Flare, an EVM-compatible Layer-1 blockchain, currently supports XRP as one of its FAssets, enabling its integration into DeFi. 

With this initiative, users can deposit their XRP in Flare’s staking contract and receive a wrapped version, FXRP. This wrapped XRP can then be staked via the Flare platform to earn yields. 

Uphold is currently exploring this process to give users a way to earn yield on their XRP holdings. Per the X post, Uphold welcomed XRP community members to the “world of smart contracts and DeFi opportunities.” 

Beta Launch Imminent 

This suggests that XRP holders will soon gain direct access to decentralized finance tools, such as yield farming, through Uphold. Meanwhile, Uphold is still working on the product and has yet to schedule a date for its beta and mainnet launches.  

However, it urged XRP community members to anticipate the beta release, which would allow them to test the upcoming yield functionality. Flare Network also issued a statement confirming its collaboration with Uphold to introduce XRP yields. 

“With FAssets preparing for mainnet launch, this collaboration paves the way for XRPFi, bringing utility & DeFi access to Uphold’s active XRP community,” Flare remarked in a statement. 

Uphold Launches 4% XRP Back on Direct Salary Deposits

Uphold has been a major proponent of XRP and has continued to support the token even during the peak of the SEC and Ripple lawsuit. 

Yesterday, it launched a new feature, dubbed Direct Salary Deposit, allowing U.S.-based users to earn XRP rewards for receiving their salaries through the exchange. 

According to the press statement, users who deposit $250 of their salary into their Uphold accounts will receive a 4% reward in XRP. The offering will officially kick off on June 2, 2025, and end on September 1, 2025.

‘I Took the Risk and Bought 10,000 XRP’ — Expert Believes These Words Will Define Future XRP Millionaires Stories

Edoardo Farina, the founder of Alpha Lions Academy, recently shared a powerful statement about the future of XRP holders.

In a recent tweet, Farina envisioned a time when the mainstream market participants would view early adopters of XRP as “lucky,” overlooking the bold sacrifices they made when few believed.

He painted a future where today’s XRP investors would eventually achieve the wealth they had long dreamed of from XRP. According to his scenario, these investors would share anecdotal stories of how they sold their car to buy 10,000 XRP. Meanwhile, Farina suggested the world would see such people as having been lucky to get into XRP early.

However, they would be missing the broader picture: the toll it took on these investors to enter XRP and believe in it at a time when skepticism was high, compounded by the asset’s periodic poor performance.

Early Sacrifices with XRP

Notably, XRP, despite its bullish fundamentals and growing adoption, continues to trade below its $3.84 all-time high, seven years and counting. The coin still hovers well below the lofty price predictions of $10, $100, or even $1,000 that have dominated the scene, predictions many believed would make holders rich.

Instead, XRP remains around $2, and frustration about the lack of a considerable upward push is reaching a fever pitch. This comes as Bitcoin charts a price discovery phase beyond $100K, while XRP continues to battle resistance.

According to Farina, holding XRP now and weathering the storm has nothing to do with luck but everything to do with risk and belief. He suggested that holding 10,000 XRP could make one rich if the unit price of XRP someday reaches $100 or more, turning such holders into millionaires.

Given his conviction in this future, he has repeatedly urged the crypto community to try as much as possible to reach that holding threshold, as low prices won’t be available for much longer. Indeed, buying 10,000 XRP cost around $5,000 seven months ago, but those prices are now far behind.

Community Echoes the Sentiment: Not Luck, But Conviction

Notably, X user Fiora agreed with Farina’s post, stating that the journey of early XRP believers was anything but luck. According to Fiora, the reality behind success stories often involves risks that most people would never dare to take.

Edward Navarro contributed to the thread by reflecting on what motivates many XRP holders to persevere through years of uncertainty. He explained that those outside the community may never understand why holders didn’t simply walk away with their profits.

Instead, they remained committed because they believed in the value of XRP and aimed to impact the lives of others, not just themselves.

“The Coin is Not Earning for the Longest Time”

Meanwhile, not everyone agrees with Farina’s optimistic vision of a promising future for XRP. A user named Sun Shine urged people to distinguish between dreams and reality. He emphasized that the coin has not generated substantial returns for long.

“The coin has not been earning for the longest time,” the comment noted. This underscores XRP’s nearly decade-long struggle to break past its all-time high and the frustration it gives holders.

Here is Shiba Inu Price if SHIB Reclaims Its Peak Dominance and Global Crypto Market Cap Hits $40T

Shiba Inu price could soar to new highs if the meme coin reclaims its peak market dominance from 2021 when the global crypto market hits $40 trillion.

Notably, as the broader crypto market faces a significant pullback amid the recent Bitcoin (BTC) price correction, altcoins such as Shiba Inu have witnessed the largest impact. Specifically, Shiba Inu price has dropped nearly 15% this week, now sitting at $0.00001235.

Shiba Inu Remains Below March 2024 Peak

Discouragingly, this position is far below investor expectations. For context, at the current price, the meme coin is 72% down from its March 2024 peak of $0.00004563. Despite the bull run taking shape since Q4 2024, SHIB has failed even to reclaim this price, much less its October 2021 ATH.

Nonetheless, market analysts remain optimistic, expecting Shiba Inu price to recover to new heights sometime in the future. Whether this will materialize in this bull run or in a future one remains to be seen. Essentially, the consensus is SHIB would eventually surpass the $0.00008845 ATH.

While lofty targets such as $0.01 have emerged in recent times, most investors remain pessimistic. However, The Crypto Basic recently assessed a more realistic scenario: what if Shiba Inu reclaims its peak market dominance and the global crypto market cap reaches $40 trillion?

For context, Cardano bull Dan Gambardello predicted last June that the global crypto market cap could hit $40 trillion. At the time, the figure stood at $2.5 trillion. While Gambardello admitted that he is not sure when his projection will materialize, he insisted that it will definitely happen.

Shiba Inu Price if Global Market Cap Hits $40T

Meanwhile, Shiba Inu attained its peak market dominance when it claimed its all-time high of $0.000088 on Oct. 28, 2021. Given the circulating supply of 589.5 trillion tokens, SHIB’s market cap at the time rose to $51.9 billion at the ATH. 

However, CoinMarketCap data confirms that the global crypto market cap then stood at $2.6 trillion. This figure brought Shiba Inu’s market dominance to 1.99%. Notably, this marked the asset’s peak market dominance, as this metric has continued to collapse since then. Currently, SHIB has a market dominance of 0.23%.

If the meme coin reclaimed its market dominance of 1.99% and the global crypto market cap hit $20 trillion as predicted by Gambardello, its market cap would soar to $796 billion. At this $796 billion valuation, Shiba Inu price would soar to $0.00135, marking a new all-time high.

For Shiba Inu price to reach $0.00135 from the current level, it must increase by 10,426%. Interestingly, market analyst Krao projected in September 2024 that Shiba Inu could claim the $0.001 mark. Further, Changelly analysts expect Shiba Inu price to reach the $0.001 level in January 2040.

Meanwhile, if Shiba Inu maintained its current market dominance of 0.23% when the broader crypto market reached $40 trillion, its market cap would reach $92 billion, still representing a new peak. At this valuation, Shiba Inu price would sit at $0.0001560.

Here’s How High Shiba Inu Can Rise if Bitcoin hits $4,878,819 By 2040

Bitcoin’s projected rise to $4.87 million by 2040 could have a ripple effect on altcoin performance, with tokens like Shiba Inu expected to soar tremendously. 

Shiba Inu and Bitcoin Correlation 

Notably, Shiba Inu has closely followed Bitcoin’s price action in recent times. The canine-themed token sometimes outperforms or underperforms Bitcoin’s performance. For instance, if Bitcoin experiences a gain of 2%, SHIB could register an increase of 5% and vice versa.

Shiba Inu’s high correlation with Bitcoin majorly drives this. According to data from IntoTheBlock, Shiba Inu has a 30-day correlation of 72% with Bitcoin. Notably, Shiba Inu boasts a higher correlation with Bitcoin over the past 60 days, with the figure standing at 86%. 

Given Shiba Inu’s strong correlation with Bitcoin, BTC will likely influence SHIB’s price action more. In this case, an upsurge in Bitcoin would translate to a proportional or higher growth for SHIB and vice versa. 

Shiba Inu Price if Bitcoin Hit $4,878,819 By 2040

The good news is that several analysts are anticipating a major price surge for Bitcoin. One of such predictions came from experts affiliated with Changelly. The experts predicted that one Bitcoin would be worth $4,878,819 ($4.87 million) by 2040, nearly 15 years from now. 

Specifically, Changelly sets the $4.87 million price as Bitcoin’s average target by January 2040. This represents a 4,400% increase from Bitcoin’s current price of $105,418. 

ChatGPT referenced Changelly’s 2040 forecast for Bitcoin to project how much Shiba Inu could be worth if the doggy-themed token experiences proportional growth. The AI chatbot suggests that applying the 4,400% growth rate to Shiba Inu’s current price would push it to $0.000632.

Assuming SHIB’s circulating supply remains unchanged at 589.25 trillion tokens, Shiba Inu’s projected rise to the $0.000632 target would push the asset’s market cap to $372.4 billion from $8.27 billion. 

Grok 2040 Prediction for Shiba Inu 

Meanwhile, AI model Grok referenced different 2040 predictions from multiple entities, such as Changelly, Telegaon, CoinCodex, and Coinpedia Markets, to estimate what SHIB could be worth in the next 15 years. 

Based on these predictions, Grok forecasted a conservative target price range of $0.00001911 to $0.054 for Shiba Inu by 2040. It also predicted an average price range of $0.00002157 – $0.076 and highly optimistic targets of $0.0000310 – $0.089. 

Besides SHIB’s correlation with Bitcoin, Grok expects multiple factors, such as token burns, positive ecosystem developments, and bullish market sentiment, to influence Shiba Inu’s 2040 price action. 

In the meantime, Grok urged investors to approach its 2040 Shiba Inu forecast with caution, given the unpredictable nature of the crypto market.
