Shiba Inu (SHIB), one of the market’s largest memecoins, is still far from its 
glory days. The token is trading more than 90% below the all-time highs it 
reached in October 2021. Even with gains of about 5% during April’s price 
action, the rebound looks limited in the broader context—especially as 
investors weigh the long-term forces that can either lift a token or keep it 
pinned. No Fast Scarcity, Bigger Downside A recent Motley Fool report points 
to several structural factors that have helped shape Shiba Inu&#8217;s current 
performance and could continue to influence where it goes next. One of the 
biggest issues is the coin’s supply. SHIB’s total supply is roughly 589.5 
trillion tokens, with nearly all of that supply already in circulation. While 
a major portion was removed from circulation in 2021, the remaining amount is 
still so large that it doesn’t change the overall picture. Related Reading:

World Events The report emphasizes that the supply scale makes it difficult to 
tighten Shiba Inu in a way that would noticeably impact price. To illustrate 
how challenging meaningful supply reduction would be, the report notes that 
even if 1 trillion tokens were permanently removed every single day for a full 
year, hundreds of trillions would remain. In practical terms, that means 
supply-driven scarcity is unlikely to occur quickly enough to create a major 
upward re-pricing. At the same time, the report highlights a key downside that 
works in the opposite direction: there is no comparable built-in mechanism 
that rapidly reduces supply when demand weakens. Near-Zero Warning For Shiba 
Inu The report also warns about the risk of a slow, sustained decline. It 
suggests that as investor attention fades and capital rotates toward other 
cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), SHIB’s combination 
of large supply and limited scarcity could make it vulnerable to continued 
downward pressure. In that scenario, the report goes as far as saying Shiba 
Inu could drift toward near-zero levels by the end of 2026, not as a sudden 
collapse, but as the result of prolonged weakness. Beyond supply mechanics, 
the report also points to SHIB&#8217;s ownership and distribution. It argues that 
the token’s supply is concentrated among a small number of wallets. According 
to the report, the top 10 wallets hold more than 60% of SHIB’s total supply.

Adversaries’ This matters because SHIB’s price, the report suggests, is 
heavily influenced by trading behavior—who is buying and who is selling at any 
given time. When large holders control a substantial portion of circulating 
tokens, their decisions can have an outsized effect. If a few major wallets 
choose to sell, the added supply can weigh on price. At the same time, the 
report notes that many of the remaining Shiba Inu holders are small retail 
investors, who typically have limited capital to absorb large sell orders. The 
report connects this to a reinforcing cycle. As Shiba Inu prices decline, 
investor interest often weakens further. That can lead to reduced trading 
volume and thinner liquidity, which then makes the market more sensitive to 
selling pressure. At the time of writing, SHIB was trading at $0.0000063, 
marking a slight increase of 1.8% over the past seven days. Featured image
