Shiba Inu (SHIB) Investor Growth Stalls - Is the Meme Coin Momentum Fading?

SHIB's investor base hits unexpected plateau as meme coin mania shows cracks.

The once-unstoppable retail frenzy surrounding Shiba Inu faces its first major test. While other cryptocurrencies continue attracting fresh capital, SHIB's adoption curve has flattened dramatically.

Market analysts point to shifting sentiment among retail investors who once piled into dog-themed tokens. The numbers don't lie - growth has stalled just as more institutional players enter the crypto space through legitimate channels.

Perhaps investors finally realized that betting on tokens named after dogs might not be the sophisticated wealth-building strategy they imagined. The crypto winter separates the serious projects from the speculative gambles - and SHIB's stalled numbers speak volumes about which category it falls into.

Investments in Shiba Inu Dries Up, Traders Are Staying Away From SHIB

Etherscan data shows that only 5,500 transactions were completed in the last 24 hours. The 24-hour trading volume has swindled to only $148 million, which is a meager amount compared to other cryptocurrencies. For example, Dogecoin’s daily trading volume is above $1 billion and has maintained the momentum despite the dip. Even Pepe’s trading volume is 2 times more than Shiba Inu and stands at $348 million.

There is less trading activity in Shiba Inu, and that’s adding to its price decline in 2025. SHIB was once the beacon of hope to the average investor who believed it could deliver millions of dollars. The hope has now been crushed, and the waiting period to just break even is getting longer. Only a massive bull run or a bigger burn mechanism can save Shiba Inu from its deep slumber.
