Shiba Inu (SHIB), one of the most popular meme coins in the crypto space, has once again sparked widespread speculation about its future price potential. In a new report by fintech platform Finder, 26 crypto industry experts shared bold forecasts for SHIB’s price through 2025, 2030, and 2035. While some analysts expect staggering gains, others remain sceptical of its long-term viability.
SHIB Price Forecasts for 2025, 2030, and 2035
According to the Finder panel, SHIB could reach $0.0000399 by the end of 2025, reflecting an 84.3% increase from its early 2025 average price of $0.00002165. However, it’s important to note that by the time the report was published, SHIB had already dipped below that starting price. Still, the panel remained largely optimistic, with some projecting even greater growth in the coming years.
The panel expects Shiba Inu to climb to $0.0001971 by 2030 and rally to $0.0008543 by 2035. If accurate, these predictions would place SHIB well above its all-time high of $0.00008845, recorded in October 2021.
Industry Leaders Share Bullish and Bearish Predictions
Some experts in the report expressed strong confidence in SHIB’s upside. Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget, believes SHIB could hit $0.00006 by the end of 2025. She pointed to technical indicators, including SHIB’s ability to break resistance and set new support levels, as signs of a growing bullish trend.
Echoing this sentiment, Ruadhan O, founder of Seasonal Tokens, forecasts a year-end price of $0.0000500. He attributes this to SHIB’s passionate community and continuous ecosystem development, specifically the upcoming TREAT token, which could add significant value. However, Ruadhan cautioned that Dogecoin’s dominance could limit SHIB’s breakout potential in the near term.
Not all experts share this enthusiasm. John Hawkins, senior lecturer at the University of Canberra, expects SHIB to fall to $0.00001 by the end of 2025. He argued that meme coins, like NFTs, could face a wider market correction. Hawkins also highlighted macroeconomic risks, such as the possible re-election of Donald Trump or Elon Musk’s influence over crypto, as factors that could draw investor focus away from SHIB toward more established assets like Bitcoin and DOGE.
SHIB Investment Strategies: Divided Opinions
Panel members offered mixed advice for investors navigating the uncertain path ahead. About 57% of respondents advised current holders to maintain their positions, suggesting confidence in SHIB’s long-term trajectory. Meanwhile, 30% recommended selling, and just 13% advised buying more SHIB.
Josh Fraser, co-founder of Origin Protocol, fell into the “buy” category. He stated that while SHIB’s future remains unpredictable, he is bullish on meme coins as a category for 2025.
On the other hand, Desmond Marshall, Managing Director of Rouge International and Rouge Ventures, criticised SHIB’s perceived lack of utility. He likened its branding to “old internet jokes” and claimed the project lacks a compelling real-world use case.
Jeremy Britton, CFO at BostonTrading.co, echoed these concerns. He argued that SHIB’s circulating supply, which far exceeds the global GDP in notional terms, creates unrealistic expectations for its future valuation.
Is SHIB Overvalued?
Despite recent developments within the Shiba Inu ecosystem, such as ShibaSwap, ongoing token burns, and the planned TREAT and SHI tokens, opinions remain split on SHIB’s valuation. Nearly 48% of experts believe the token is overvalued, while 44% consider it fairly valued, and just 8% believe it is undervalued.
One of the more aggressive forecasts came from Ronen Cojocaru, CEO of 8081 Inc, who projected SHIB would hit $0.0000743 by the end of 2025, a gain of over 240%. However, he also warned that SHIB is still overpriced, given ongoing market volatility and rising competition from other meme tokens.

Can Shiba Inu Surpass Dogecoin?
A common question among SHIB investors is whether the token can eventually surpass Dogecoin (DOGE) in terms of market capitalisation. According to the Finder panel, such a shift is unlikely. Nearly 79% of respondents said SHIB will never overtake DOGE, while only 7% believe this could happen by 2026.
Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO of Unocoin, supported the majority view, stating that while SHIB has grown impressively, its enormous token supply and speculative nature act as limitations. By contrast, DOGE maintains a stronger presence among both retail and institutional investors.
