- Shiba Inu's Lucie targets $30–50B SHIB market cap to trigger ecosystem-wide bull runs, requiring 295–558% price surges.

- Altcoin Season Index above 30/100 and TREAT token's $2M valuation are highlighted as catalysts for altcoin-driven market shifts.

- SHIB's 3,465% increased burn rate and ecosystem token correlations (e.g., BONE, LEASH) suggest potential halo effects from core token growth.

- Upcoming strategic announcements and DAO elections position next weeks as critical for Shiba Inu's market momentum and utility expansion.

Shiba Inu marketing specialist Lucie has shared a key insight into the potential catalyst for a major bull run in the

SHIB
price. According to her, the token needs to reach a market capitalization of $30–50 billion to trigger a broader rally across the
Shiba Inu
ecosystem [1]. This would represent a significant leap from its current market cap of around $7.59 billion, as of mid-August 2025 [1]. To reach $30 billion, SHIB would need to appreciate by 295%, lifting its price to approximately $0.00005091. A rise to $50 billion would require a 558% surge, pushing the price to around $0.00008485 [1].

Lucie highlighted that the broader cryptocurrency market has grown to a valuation of $4.1 trillion, with

Bitcoin
still leading in terms of performance. However, she believes altcoins could soon take the spotlight, particularly if the Altcoin Season Index rises above its current level of 30/100. This suggests a potential shift in market sentiment favoring altcoins [1].

She also addressed concerns around the Shiba Inu ecosystem’s TREAT token, which currently holds a market cap of under $2 million. Lucie described this as a “gift” for early investors, and she expressed confidence that the token would not remain at such a low valuation for long [1]. She encouraged the community to hold onto their preferred tokens, emphasizing that a strong performance in SHIB could generate a “halo effect” that benefits other tokens in the ecosystem, such as BONE and LEASH [1].

The correlation between SHIB and its ecosystem tokens has been noted by Shiba Inu founder Kaal Dhairya, who described it as a “halo effect.” However, he added that each token must eventually be able to stand on its own [1]. Lucie’s bullish outlook is not new—she has previously floated ambitious price targets, including the idea of SHIB reaching $0.01 and even suggesting a $1 price tag in the future [1].

The Shiba Inu team has been actively pushing for ecosystem growth, emphasizing real-world utility and community-driven governance. As the token continues to burn a significant amount of supply—recently seeing a 3,465% increase in the 24-hour burn rate—some analysts believe this could support a long-term price increase [3]. However, it is important to note that such predictions remain speculative, and SHIB remains a highly volatile asset.

Lucie also indicated that the next few weeks could be pivotal for the Shiba Inu ecosystem, with potential announcements and strategic moves expected to drive further interest and activity [1].
