Still Holding Shiba Inu in the 2025 Bear Market? Here’s Your Survival Guide
Shiba Inu holders are gritting their teeth—again. The meme coin that roared is now whimpering in the bear’s den. What’s next for the SHIB faithful?
Survival Tactics for the Diamond-Handed
Forget moon dreams—this is trench warfare. The 2025 crypto winter has frozen even the hottest memecoins, and SHIB’s 90% off its ATH. Pro tip: if your portfolio resembles a crime scene, maybe don’t check CoinMarketCap after midnight.
The Institutional Ice Age
While Bitcoin ETFs thaw traditional finance’s cold heart, meme coins remain the red-headed stepchildren. Goldman Sachs won’t touch your Shiba bags—but hey, at least your Dogecoin-holding neighbor suffers too.
When Lambo? Try Food Stamps
The brutal truth? Most 2021 meme coin investors could’ve made more money flipping actual burgers. But for the true believers: stack, stake, and pray the burn mechanism works better than your ex’s dating app.
Shiba Inu’s Lackluster Performance
SHIB climbed to $0.000036 in March of 2024. It then faced a big price correction before climbing to $0.000032 in December of 2024. Since December, SHIB has struggled to reclaim the $0.00003 price level.
One of the most significant reasons for SHIB’s lackluster performance could be the overarching bearish market environment. Bitcoin (BTC) has hit multiple all-time highs. A few assets, such as Solana (SOL), BNB, and Pepe (PEPE), have followed BTC’s trajectory to new peaks. SHIB, unfortunately, is not one of those assets.
Another reason shiba inu (SHIB) has performed poorly is its lack of utility. The SHIB team launched the Shibarium layer-2 network to bring more use cases to the SHIB ecosystem. Despite their efforts, not a lot of projects have been built on Shibarium. The demand for SHIB continues to slump.
Will The Asset Take Off?
According to early bitcoin (BTC) investor Davinci Jeremie, SHIB’s price could skyrocket if more applications are built on the Shibarium network. More applications will drive demand for SHIB, leading to a price surge.
Another way for Shiba Inu (SHIB) to rally is for the project to undertake another big 2021-like burn. SHIB’s massive 589 trillion supply presents a substantial barrier to its price. The team is reportedly working on a new burn mechanism. However, we do not have much information about how the new burn mechanism works.
