Shiba Inu: Can 1500% Price Surge Match Top Cryptos?

Shiba Inu (SHIB), a widely followed cryptocurrency, has faced recent price challenges, but its potential remains a topic of discussion among investors. With a current market capitalization of $9.16 billion, ranking it 17th among cryptocurrencies, many are curious about its price trajectory if it could match the market cap of top cryptocurrencies like XRP, BNB, or Solana.

If SHIB were to reach XRP's market capitalization of $149.93 billion, it would require a 1,536.79% increase in valuation. This would place its price at approximately $0.000255, significantly higher than its all-time high of $0.00008845. Similarly, if SHIB grew to BNB's market cap of $94.08 billion, its value would increase by 927%, pushing its price to around $0.00016. Reaching Solana's market capitalization of $84.72 billion would require a 824.9% rise, setting the digital asset's price at $0.000144.

However, achieving these market capitalizations would be challenging due to SHIB's enormous circulating supply. Maintaining a high price without significant token burns would be difficult. Nevertheless, the SHIB community has been aggressively burning tokens, with 44.6 billion tokens burned in 2024. If the community can keep up the burn rate, it could exceed this value in 2025.

While some investors remain skeptical, whales are already accumulating SHIB tokens, indicating their confidence in the digital asset's future. If SHIB can build enough momentum, it could potentially regain its spot in the top ten cryptocurrencies and even flip Dogecoin in this cycle.
