Shiba Inu Investors Face Significant Challenges
Shiba Inu (SHIB) investors are experiencing substantial setbacks, with the token’s price lingering 87% below its pinnacle reached in 2021. A series of market downturns have resulted in substantial losses, pushing investor profitability back to early 2024 levels.
Over 65% of Shiba Inu Stakeholders in the Red
In the past year, Shiba Inu’s value has plummeted by over 60%, erasing much of the recovery witnessed between 2023 and 2024. Consequently, more than 65% of investors are currently facing losses, while only 32% are in profit, and a mere 3% are breaking even.
Data from IntoTheBlock reveals that at current prices, only 98.2 trillion SHIB, valued at $1.12 billion, are yielding profits. In stark contrast, approximately 878.5 trillion SHIB, valued at $9.99 billion, are incurring losses. Moreover, around 8.14 trillion SHIB, worth $92.59 million, are at breakeven.
Historically, SHIB’s profitability has experienced significant volatility, fluctuating with market trends. After reaching peak profitability in October 2021, SHIB holders have struggled to maintain gains through the subsequent bear markets. The lean years of 2022 and 2023 extended into early 2024, with a temporary recovery seen by December 2024. However, the year 2025 ushered in renewed challenges, with profitability levels reminiscent of February 2024.
Despite prevailing bearish conditions, bullish sentiment persists among some investors, who anticipate a bottoming out of SHIB prices followed by a potential rally.
Potential for Shiba Inu Price Recovery
Recent increases in large SHIB transactions suggest a potential shift in market dynamics. According to IntoTheBlock, transaction volumes surged by over 100% between Sunday and Monday, continuing to rise thereafter.
This activity may indicate that significant players, or “whales,” were involved in the recent sell-offs contributing to SHIB’s price decline. Alternatively, it could signal a renewed interest in the meme coin. If this interest translates into increased buying activity, it could spark a recovery for SHIB.
The bears retain control over current price trends, yet optimism remains among some investors about a potential reversal.
