- Shiba Inu has dropped nearly 38% year-to-date, among the worst performers in crypto.
- Long-term Shiba Inu holders have faced losses, while short-term investors saw brief gains.
- Between September 2021 and 2025, Shiba Inu increased only 33% in value.
- Other leading cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin and Ethereum, have more than doubled during the same period.
- Investors who bought Shiba Inu after October 2021 are mostly facing losses.
Shiba Inu has experienced a significant price drop in the current trading year, falling almost 38% since January, according to the latest figures from TradingView. The token’s declining value stands out when compared to other major cryptocurrencies, which have seen far stronger results over the same period.
Trading data shows that while Shiba Inu achieved multiple sudden price increases during the past four years, any gains were quickly erased. As a result, long-term investors—those who held their coins for years—have experienced losses, with only short-term traders seeing occasional profits. This reveals a high level of risk in holding meme coins like Shiba Inu for extended periods.
The price of Shiba Inu in September 2021 was $0.00000691. It hit an all-time high of $0.00008616 in October of that year. Since then, the token has struggled to recover, and most investors who entered after its peak are now “underwater,” meaning their investments are worth less than their original purchase. According to information from TradingView, Shiba Inu has surged by only 33% from September 2021 to 2025, allowing a $1,000 investment to reach just $1,330 over four years.
In comparison, Bitcoin was valued at $48,000 in September 2021 and has grown to $117,000 in 2025—a 145% increase—turning a $1,000 investment into $2,450. Other major coins such as Ethereum, XRP, and Solana have also outperformed Shiba Inu during the same timeframe.
Despite brief periods of excitement and price surges, Shiba Inu has not sustained its gains, with returns for long-term holders staying well below those of other popular cryptocurrencies. Short-term market spikes frequently faded within two weeks or less, erasing most profits.
