The Hard Truth: Shiba Inu May Slump Longer Than Expected
Shiba Inu (SHIB) is an extremely popular cryptocurrency. One of the primary reasons for SHIB’s incredible popularity is its massive 2021 rally. SHIB’s price took off by many million percent during the 2021 bull run. Early investors made massive returns with minimal investments. New players in the crypto sector flocked to the project to make big money. While early players got big returns, people who entered at the top are still in losses. SHIB fans and investors are hopeful that the asset will reclaim its 2021 momentum. But this may be more difficult than many imagine.
Why Shiba Inu May Not Recover Its 2021 Momentum
Another major factor holding Shiba Inu (SHIB) back is the lack of adoption. The project launched its layer-2 network, Shibarium, in 2023. Despite the layer-2 launch, the network has not seen a lot of developmental activity. While Shibarium has seen a rise in applications and smart contracts, it is nowhere close to others in the game.
Hype was another factor that boosted SHIB’s price in 2021. The same hype seems to be missing today. Hype and popularity greatly help memecoins, such as Shiba Inu (SHIB) and its rival Dogecoin (DOGE). The absence of hype seems to be barring SHIB from hitting new peaks.
