Dogecoin News Today: ChatGPT-5 Projects Shiba Inu Could Hit $0.005 by 2045–2050

Shiba Inu (SHIB), a leading meme coin, has drawn renewed attention following a projection by OpenAI’s ChatGPT-5. The AI model estimates that the token may not reach the $0.005 level—widely considered a key psychological price point—until between 2045 and 2050. This projection implies a long-term and gradual path to price appreciation, rather than the rapid breakout some investors have anticipated [1].

According to the analysis, SHIB would need to surge over 40,000% from its current price of $0.00001255 to reach the $0.005 target. However, structural challenges such as the coin’s massive circulating supply—nearly 589 trillion tokens—make such a move improbable in the near term. Existing burn mechanisms, which currently eliminate billions of tokens monthly, are insufficient to significantly impact the supply or price. Analysts suggest that the rate of token burns would need to increase to trillions annually to meaningfully affect SHIB’s valuation [1].

The forecast also highlights the importance of ecosystem development. Initiatives like ShibaSwap, Shibarium, and forays into gaming and the metaverse could contribute to long-term demand. Still, ChatGPT-5 emphasizes that widespread adoption may take decades. Additionally, the broader cryptocurrency market is a crucial factor. While the global crypto market stands at $4 trillion in 2025, projections suggest it could grow to as much as $30 trillion by 2040. Capturing even 5% to 10% of that market could push SHIB’s market cap into the $1 to $3 trillion range, making the $0.005 target more plausible [1].

Community engagement remains a core strength for SHIB. However, the AI model cautions that hype and viral moments alone are not enough to drive sustained price gains. Sustained momentum at higher price levels would require structural improvements, such as ongoing supply reduction and deeper ecosystem development. Without these fundamentals, SHIB may remain stagnant for years [1].

The projection also indicates that SHIB could trade below $0.0001 until 2035, with more meaningful gains emerging in the mid-2040s. Only after significant supply cuts, ecosystem maturation, and broader market expansion would $0.005 become a realistic possibility. This timeline underscores the long-term nature of SHIB’s potential growth and the need for patience from investors [1].

ChatGPT-5’s assessment aligns with a broader trend of using AI to forecast crypto price movements. A similar analysis for Dogecoin (DOGE) projected a $1 price target by 2027–2028, suggesting that AI models are increasingly being used to gauge long-term prospects for meme coins [2]. These projections, however, should not be treated as definitive predictions but as probabilistic outlooks shaped by current data and assumptions.

In conclusion, while SHIB retains a strong position in the crypto market and continues to draw interest, the ChatGPT-5 model suggests that investors should not expect a quick or dramatic rise to $0.005. The path forward is likely to be slow, requiring significant structural and market-level changes. Given the speculative nature of meme coins, investors are advised to approach such forecasts with a critical perspective, balancing AI insights with traditional financial analysis and risk management strategies [1].
