A new analysis from crypto analytics platform CoinCodex paints a grim picture 
for Shiba Inu (SHIB) investors who are still holding out hope for a repeat of 
past highs this year. According to the AI platform, SHIB is highly unlikely to 
approach, let alone reach its 2021 all-time high in 2026. The dog-themed meme 
coin has been volatile, with analysts indicating that its broader outlook 
remains largely bearish. CoinCodex’s recent price forecast for Shiba Inu 
offers little optimism for the popular meme coin in the near term. The AI 
algorithm, which factors in historical price behavior, market volatility, and 
Bitcoin halving cycles, concludes that SHIB has no realistic path to regaining 
its all-time high in 2026. Shiba Inu Unlikely To Reach ATH In 2026 Notably, 
Shiba Inu hit an ATH of approximately $0.000088 in 2021, a level it has failed 
to revisit in years. As of March 12, 2026, the meme coin trades around 
$0.0000058, which puts it more than 93% below that historic peak. Closing that 
gap would require a staggering price rally of roughly 1,400%, which is about 
15x its current price. Related Reading: Shiba Inu Whales Are On The Move 
Again, But In What Direction? CoinCodex notes that the broader market picture 
for SHIB is broadly negative across almost every key metric. Currently, 
sentiment is 71% bearish and 29% bullish, and the Fear and Greed Index sits at 
15, placing the market in extreme fear territory. In the past 30 days, SHIB 
has closed green only 11 times, meaning it posted gains on just 37% of trading 
days. Volatility is also elevated at 6.8%, reflecting sharp price swings 
without any sustained upward direction. Additionally, technical indicators are 
stacking up heavily on the bearish side, with CoinCodex showing 20 sell 
signals for Shiba Inu compared to just 8 buy signals. Furthermore, SHIB’s 
50-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) sits at $0.0000065, and the 200-day SMA at 
$0.0000093, both well above the current price and equally pointing toward 
continued selling pressure. CoinCodex also highlights that Shiba Inu’s 14-day 
Relative Strength Index (RSI) currently reads at 42.89, landing in neutral 
territory but trending toward the lower end of the scale. Alongside the moving 
averages, this reading illustrates a glaring weakness in momentum with no 
clear signal that buyers are ready to step in and push prices toward ATH 
levels. CoinCodex Reveals Long Road Ahead For SHIB CoinCodex’s short-term 
projections offer modest upside from current levels, with the one-month 
forecast showing a potential gain of around 6.76% to $0.0000061. However, that 
mild optimism fades quickly, as the AI model projects SHIB could end 2026 
below where it trades today. Related Reading: Analyst Shares The Best Time To 
Buy Shiba Inu, And The Best Time To Sell The longer-term outlook also does 
little to encourage investors and holders. Any meaningful price recovery is 
not expected to happen until well into the 2040s, and even the most optimistic 
long-range forecast still falls short of the 2021 all-time high. Adding to 
this lackluster outlook, CoinCodex notes that Shiba Inu’s support and 
resistance levels are compressed into a very tight range, suggesting that the 
market has little room for a breakout in either direction. For now, SHIB 
remains range-bound, with no evident short-term catalyst strong enough to 
propel it back to its historic peak. Featured image from Adobe Stock, chart

Interest in XRP is once again gaining momentum after reports that global 
payments giant Mastercard is exploring collaboration opportunities with Ripple 
and its blockchain-based payment infrastructure. The development has drawn 
attention across the digital asset space, as partnerships between traditional 
financial institutions and blockchain firms continue to shape the evolution of 
cross-border payments. What The Collaboration Could Mean For The XRP Ecosystem 
An initiative from Mastercard is drawing significant attention to the role of 
blockchain technology in global payments, particularly to XRP. Crypto 
commentator Archie revealed on X that Mastercard has recently launched a 
Crypto Partner Program that brings together more than 85 companies from across 
the digital asset ecosystem. The partnership includes platforms such as 
Binance, PayPal, and blockchain firm Ripple to revolutionize the role of 
digital assets in global payments. Related Reading: Why XRP’s Infrastructure 
May Be Positioned For The Tokenisation Boom This powerhouse collaboration aims 
to connect blockchain-based technologies directly to Mastercard&#8217;s global 
payments infrastructure, spanning over 200 countries. Archie suggests that 
this type of initiative could support use cases such as seamless cross-border 
transfers, lightning-fast business-to-business payments, and more instant 
global payout systems. Within that framework, Ripple&#8217;s expertise in on-chain 
solutions payment infrastructure places it in a strategic position for XRP as 
the go-to asset for real-world utility. As traditional finance giants like 
Mastercard and Visa move to integrate crypto, XRP is primed for explosive 
growth. This isn&#8217;t hype, it&#8217;s adoption in action. Where XRP Could Fit In The 
Expanding Digital Payments Ecosystem The scale of stablecoin activity is 
becoming one of the most overlooked developments in the digital asset space. 
An analyst known as XFinanceBull has highlighted that in 2025 alone, 
stablecoins processed an estimated $33 trillion in transaction volume, 
reflecting real payment activity rather than projections. This growth has been 
rapid, with total transaction volume rising 72% year over year while global 
user adoption reportedly surged 146% across 106 countries. Related Reading: 
XRP Funding Rates And Spot Volume Tell An Interesting Story For Price Several 
regional dynamics are helping drive this expansion. In Nigeria, a remittance 
economy estimated at $59 billion is increasingly interacting with digital 
dollar alternatives. In Turkey, demand for dollar-denominated stability amid 
currency volatility has driven the adoption of stablecoins into everyday use. 
Meanwhile, institutional settlement initiatives in the United Arab Emirates 
are also contributing to the growing role of blockchain-based payment 
infrastructure. One of the fastest-growing segments is cross-border business- 
to-business payments, which expanded 733% to about $226 billion in transaction 
flows. According to XFinanceBull, this trend reveals a deeper shift in 
finance, and stablecoins are evolving beyond trading tools into a foundational 
layer for digital payments. Within this evolving landscape, Ripple&#8217;s 
stablecoin initiative, RLUSD, has positioned its ecosystem directly inside 
this expanding liquidity layer. As stablecoins move globally, the networks 
providing settlement infrastructure may become strategically important.
