- Over 61% of Shiba Inu (SHIB) holders are currently at a loss.
- 79% of SHIB investors have held their tokens for more than one year.
- SHIB’s 2021 price surge was driven by a massive token burn by Vitalik Buterin and market hype.
- The SHIB team plans to introduce a new burn mechanism that could further reduce supply by trillions of tokens annually.
- Market projections suggest SHIB could reach $0.0001 by 2030 if broader crypto adoption continues and new projects are built on its Shibarium network.
Shiba Inu (SHIB) investors who entered the market during the cryptocurrency’s 2021 peak are experiencing significant losses. As of now, 61% of SHIB holders are “out of the money,” meaning the current value of their investment is less than what they paid, according to data from IntoTheBlock.
The report also highlights that about 79% of SHIB holders have kept their investment for over a year. This statistic signals a strong base of long-term investors despite continued price struggles.
During 2021, SHIB gained attention through a supply reduction event, when Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin burned 90% of the SHIB tokens he received, decreasing the circulating supply and triggering a rapid price increase. The article notes that, while a repeat of such a large-scale burn is unlikely, the SHIB development team is reportedly preparing a new mechanism that could potentially remove trillions of tokens from circulation each year.
The piece also mentions that SHIB’s network, called Shibarium, could see a rise in new applications by 2030. Increased development on this network may contribute to future price movements.
According to market forecasts, if the broader cryptocurrency sector continues to grow and Bitcoin reaches new milestones, SHIB could potentially climb to the $0.0001 level in the longer term. However, these outcomes remain subject to market conditions and upcoming project developments.
For now, long-term SHIB holders remain committed, waiting for their investments to recover as the crypto industry evolves.
