On-Chain Analytics Predicts Two Potential Shiba Inu (SHIB) Price Targets by End of 2026

Shiba Inu has been experiencing weakness in its market performance, but the token continues to attract attention from analysts assessing its long-term outlook. Several forecasting platforms and market commentators have released their projections suggesting that the token could record significant gains by the end of 2026, not minding the current market setup. 

Shiba Inu has spent much of the recent months trading under persistent selling pressure, with prices hovering near multi-month lows. However, this downturn has not eliminated interest in the asset’s future direction. 

Instead, speculation around broader market cycles, regulatory developments, and ecosystem-related catalysts has driven renewed debate about where SHIB could ultimately settle over the next two years.

Whale Scan Projects Significant Growth by Late 2026

On-chain analytics platform Whale Scan recently shared a forward-looking estimate that places Shiba Inu within a price range of $0.00003 to $0.00005 by late 2026. The projection emerged after a request to adjust a long-term price chart to reflect a potential cycle peak for the token.

If achieved, this range would represent an increase of more than 400% from current levels, with the upper boundary implying gains exceeding 700%. While Whale Scan did not assign a specific timeline for intermediate price movements, the forecast has been widely cited as evidence that some analysts remain optimistic about SHIB’s longer-term valuation.

Whale Scan’s estimates are broadly consistent with predictions from other market research platforms, though expectations vary considerably. Changelly anticipates a more moderate outcome, projecting a maximum price of approximately $0.0000142 for Shiba Inu in 2026. In contrast, Telegaon has published a significantly higher target of $0.0000543 for the same period.

Additional forecasts reflect different perspectives. Coin market analysis platform CoinCodex has adopted a more conservative stance, estimating that SHIB could trade near $0.0000096 by the end of 2026. 

Meanwhile, scenario-based modeling from ChatGPT suggests that under favorable macro and market conditions, prices could potentially reach $0.000115, though this outcome depends on multiple high-impact variables aligning at the same time.

Factors Supporting Bullish Expectations

Analysts pointing to upside potential often mention structural changes in the cryptocurrency market cycle. Some proponents argue that the traditional four-year cycle may be growing into a longer five-year pattern, with the next phase expected to develop later in the year. In this case, assets with strong retail recognition, such as Shiba Inu, could benefit from renewed speculative interest.

Regulatory developments in the United States also feature prominently in bullish arguments. Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse has suggested that the proposed CLARITY Act could be finalized in the near term, while Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has emphasized the legislation’s importance for market stability. Supporters believe regulatory clarity could improve investor confidence and encourage institutional participation across the digital asset sector.

Additionally, Shiba Inu may gain indirect exposure through a potential U.S.-based spot exchange-traded fund. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is expected to issue a decision by February 26 on a filing from T. Rowe Price that references SHIB as a possible component.

Even with these projections, Shiba Inu continues to face significant challenges. The token recently slipped below $0.000006, extending a broader downtrend that has defined recent trading activity. Low token burn rates and the perception that ecosystem development efforts are no longer a priority have further dampened sentiment.

For this reason, there is significant skepticism in the market, as they question whether SHIB can deliver a sustained rally in the near term.
