NFTs are a crucial part of Shiba Inu's evolution from a meme coin to a more utility-driven ecosystem. They add value, create engagement, and build out the metaverse vision. However, for SHIB to hit $1 in a year, the challenges related to its massive circulating supply are so immense that even a highly successful NFT strategy would likely not be enough to bridge that gap on its own. NFTs contribute to the long-term viability and attractiveness of the project, but they don't fundamentally alter the mathematical reality of the supply needed for a $1 price.
