Written by Emily J. Thompson, Senior Investment Analyst

- High Investment Risk: Shiba Inu, which delivered a staggering 45,278,000% return in 2021, has since declined 66% in 2025 and is now down 90% from its peak, highlighting its characteristics as a highly speculative token.
- Lack of Use Cases: The token has failed to establish effective use cases, resulting in a lack of widespread acceptance as a payment solution, and it hasn't set a new high in nearly five years, negatively impacting its value stability.
- Severe Supply Issues: With a total supply of 589.2 trillion tokens and a current market cap of $4.9 billion, achieving a price of $1 per token would unrealistically inflate its market cap to $589.2 trillion, far exceeding the combined worth of the S&P 500.
- Slow Token Burn Progress: Although the community is attempting to increase the price through token burns, only 110 million tokens were burned last month, leading to an annualized burn rate of 1.3 billion, indicating that it would take 453,230 years to burn 589 trillion tokens, making the $1 target nearly impossible.
