- Shiba Inu could reach $0.01 if massive token burns significantly reduce its supply and the crypto market sees widespread growth.
- Increased utility, ecosystem expansion, and media hype may further fuel SHIB’s long-term price surge.
The possibility of Shiba Inu (SHIB) reaching $0.01 has long sparked both hope and skepticism within the crypto community. While many see the goal as overly ambitious due to SHIB’s massive supply, a growing number of experts and enthusiasts argue that it’s not entirely out of reach — if several key developments align
One of the most vocal supporters of this target is Shiba Inu’s marketing lead, Lucie, who considers $0.01 a realistic but long-term goal. Community analyst Luis Delgado, known as Del Crxpto, also echoed this sentiment, pointing to the crypto market’s history of defying expectations. Even Changelly analysts have predicted a possible $0.01 valuation by October 2040.

However, the challenge remains significant. With over 589 trillion tokens in circulation, SHIB would need a market cap of nearly $5.89 trillion to reach $0.01 — a number that currently surpasses Bitcoin’s valuation and even the market cap of silver.
What Could Change the Game for SHIB?
1. Massive Token Burns
The most cited path to $0.01 is burning SHIB tokens to drastically reduce supply. This includes community-led burns, Shibarium transaction burns, and potential contributions from exchanges like Binance and Coinbase. If SHIB’s supply were cut to 50 trillion, the required market cap drops to a more attainable $500 billion.
2. Bitcoin’s Market Leadership
SHIB has shown a strong correlation with Bitcoin’s price. If Bitcoin were to reach $1 million, the entire crypto market could rally, pulling altcoins like SHIB along for the ride. SHIB historically outperforms BTC during bullish runs, which could amplify gains.
3. Real-World Utility
Greater adoption as a payment option on platforms like Amazon or Uber would boost SHIB’s demand. Integration into mainstream services and DeFi applications can drive real-world value.
4. Ecosystem Expansion
SHIB’s evolving ecosystem — including Shibarium, SHIB-powered games, and Web3 tools — positions it for long-term growth and enhanced utility.
5. Celebrity Endorsement & Media Hype
Support from influential figures (like Elon Musk) or viral media campaigns could reignite retail investor interest, just as it did during SHIB’s previous bull run.
While the journey to $0.01 remains steep, it’s not entirely impossible — especially in a crypto market where history has proven that nothing is off the table.
