Shiba Inu (SHIB) price performance has been characterized by volatility in recent months, showing a steeper decline than the broader crypto market. While broader crypto markets experienced a brief rally between November 2024 and January 2025, following Donald Trump’s U.S. presidential election victory, SHIB entered a downtrend earlier in December 2024.

From then until March 2025, the token saw a sharp decline of approximately 69%.

However, April has brought modest relief to SHIB, with the token regaining 6.36% in value this month alone as Bitcoin crossed the $93,000 mark during the ongoing market recovery. This small gain has brought the altcoin to the $0.000013 level, showing signs of renewed investor interest.

Investor Behaviour and Token Distribution Patterns

On-chain data from IntoTheBlock reveals divergent behaviour among investor groups. Large holders, those controlling between 1 trillion and 10 trillion SHIB, have accumulated more than 23 trillion tokens since mid-November 2024, increasing their collective holdings to 153 trillion SHIB. In contrast, wallets holding between 100 million and 1 billion tokens have reduced their exposure by approximately 620 billion tokens during the same period.

This contrasting behaviour reflects a typical dynamic in volatile markets, that is large holders use price drops as buying opportunities, while retail investors tend to sell amid uncertainty. Individuals investing around $5,000 in SHIB, equivalent to roughly 384.6 million tokens at the current price of $0.000013, largely fall into the retail investor bracket.

Despite distribution shifts, the number of wallet addresses holding up to $5,000 in SHIB remains high, standing at 72,490. Many of these investors continue to hold in anticipation of future price growth, drawing confidence from the token’s past performance, including its dramatic rally in 2021, which turned modest investments into significant returns.

Several analysts have published long-term projections for SHIB, providing a range of outcomes for holders considering a multi-year investment plan.

According to forecasts by Changelly, Shiba Inu could begin 2030 with an average price of $0.000105 and reach a maximum of $0.00017 by the end of that year. If this outlook materializes, a $5,000 investment at today’s price would grow to approximately $65,384.

Conversely, a more conservative scenario was proposed by ChatGPT, which projected a low-end price of $0.000005, an average price of $0.00003, and a bullish peak at $0.0001. These would value the same investment at approximately $1,923, $11,538, and $38,461, respectively, by 2030.

A more optimistic view comes from Telegaon analysts, who anticipate significantly higher values. Their projections suggest a minimum price of $0.000593, an average of $0.000646, and a maximum of $0.000712. Based on these estimates, the $5,000 investment could grow to between $192,307 and $273,846.

While price projections vary widely, they illustrate the potential for both high returns and significant risk in Shiba Inu’s long-term outlook.
