- Shiba Inu Market Performance: Shiba Inu has seen its market cap decline by approximately 90% since its peak in 2021; despite implementing burning mechanisms, the market response has been tepid, and the lack of other fundamental catalysts raises concerns about its long-term outlook.
- Weak Token Ecosystem: The metaverse project SHIB: The Metaverse launched in late 2024 after numerous delays, but engagement levels are extremely low, indicating a significant waning interest in the metaverse trend, effectively marking the project as a failure.
- Bitcoin Cash Market Performance: Bitcoin Cash has risen about 44% over the past year, with a market cap of $12.7 billion; although it offers lower transaction fees and processing times compared to Bitcoin, its market share remains a fraction of Bitcoin's $1.8 trillion valuation.
- Investment Risk Warning: While Bitcoin Cash has performed well in the short term, its long-term viability may not match that of Bitcoin, and with low institutional adoption, investors should carefully assess its future potential.
