TLDR:
- SHIB would reach $0.0001519 if it matched Solana’s $89.5 billion market cap
- To reach Binance Coin’s market cap, SHIB price would hit $0.0001556
- SHIB would need to grow by 1,491% to match Tether’s $150 billion valuation
- Reaching Dogecoin’s current market cap would require SHIB to hit $0.000056
- Shibarium network growth and token burns could boost SHIB’s market position
Shiba Inu’s price potential continues to capture investor attention as analysts evaluate various scenarios for the popular meme coin. Recent market analyses suggest SHIB could reach unprecedented price levels if it manages to match the market capitalizations of larger cryptocurrencies.
Currently ranked 15th with a market cap of $9.34 billion, Shiba Inu would need substantial growth to reach the valuations of top cryptocurrencies.
If SHIB were to match Solana’s current market cap of $89.5 billion, its price would climb to approximately $0.0001519. This would require an 849% increase from current levels.
A slightly higher target would be reaching Binance Coin’s $91.67 billion valuation, which would push SHIB to $0.0001556.
Growth Projections
According to analyses from Telegaon, these price levels might be achievable by 2027, with projections suggesting an average trading price of $0.000153 and a potential maximum of $0.000198 by that year.
More ambitious targets include matching Tether’s $150 billion market cap, which would propel SHIB to $0.0002546. This scenario would require a massive 1,491% surge from current prices.
Telegaon’s analysis suggests SHIB could break the $0.0002 level by early 2028, potentially trading at an average price of $0.000289 that year.

Looking at closer competitors, if SHIB were to match Dogecoin’s current $33 billion market cap, its price would need to reach $0.000056. This would require SHIB to more than triple its current market cap.
SHIB has previously flipped Dogecoin in market cap ranking during the 2021 bull market, suggesting such a scenario could repeat.
Factors Driving Potential Growth
Several factors could contribute to SHIB’s growth toward these targets. The Shibarium layer-2 network has enhanced SHIB’s utility beyond being merely a meme coin.
Recent data shows Shibarium’s DeFi Total Value Locked (TVL) has reached $3.57 million, while the ShibaSwap decentralized exchange has experienced 43% growth in just one month.
Token burns represent another catalyst for price increases. A large portion of SHIB’s supply has already been removed from circulation since the token’s launch.
If burn rates accelerate to around 1 trillion tokens daily while demand rises, SHIB’s supply reduction could contribute to price appreciation.
With a current circulating supply of 589.24 trillion tokens, any substantial burn rate would help reduce supply and potentially increase price if demand remains strong or grows.
SHIB’s history shows it can achieve rapid price appreciation under the right market conditions. During the 2021 bull market, it briefly surpassed Dogecoin to become the largest meme coin by market cap.
Market analysts suggest that similar patterns could emerge in future market cycles, particularly if SHIB continues to develop utility through Shibarium and maintains an active burn mechanism.
The most recent price data indicates SHIB would need to reach between $0.000056 and $0.0001 to potentially overtake Dogecoin again, with the actual target depending on market conditions and Dogecoin’s own performance.
