Shiba Inu Falls 13.23% Weekly as Internal Divisions Hinder Growth

Shiba Inu (SHIB) began August 2025 with a 2.09% decline, following a 9% rally in July, according to market data [1]. The token dropped to $0.0000116 on August 2 after peaking at $0.00001598 on July 21, before a minor 1.05% recovery pushed it to $0.000012. Despite this brief rebound, SHIB’s weekly performance recorded a 13.23% loss, pushing it to the 22nd largest cryptocurrency with a market capitalization of $7.17 billion [1]. This decline marks a significant retreat from its 2021 high of $0.000088, when it briefly entered the top 10 by market cap.

Kaal Dhairya, a key Shiba Inu developer, has identified internal divisions and infighting as the primary obstacles to SHIB’s growth [1]. He emphasized that unity is the top priority for the ecosystem to overcome market volatility and competition. Dhairya called on the community to focus on collective action and transparency to strengthen the project’s long-term viability.

As part of this effort, he advocated for the empowerment of the SHIB DAO to establish democratic governance. This approach would allow all community members an equal voice in decision-making and prevent bias in project support [1]. Dhairya’s vision includes a Shibarium driven by accountability and inclusivity, where no valuable initiative is neglected due to favoritism or lack of coordination.

The recent market performance and internal challenges have underscored the need for a renewed strategic direction. While SHIB faces short-term volatility, the strength of its community and governance model will be key factors in determining its long-term resilience and growth [1].
