As most major cryptocurrencies remain in bullish territory, Shiba Inu (SHIB), the well‑known “Dogecoin killer,” has struggled to capture the same upside momentum. Fresh data from Finbold suggests more subdued performance could be on the horizon.
Currently ranked 22nd by market capitalization, SHIB is trading at $0.00001212, with a market cap of $7.14 billion. The token has shed 4.64% in the last seven days and remains down 8.92% year‑over‑year, though it is up 3.49% over the past month.

At its peak on December 5, 2024, SHIB briefly surpassed a $19 billion market cap, a far cry from the $35.91 billion it achieved in October 2021 during its hype‑driven surge.
This weakening comes against a backdrop of shifting meme coin dynamics. Finbold reported in November that 97% of meme coins have effectively died, eroding speculative appetite for smaller tokens and cooling the once‑white‑hot meme sector.
SHIB governance shift and market impact
On August 4, SHIB began electing its first “network president,” a major governance change designed to decentralize control from founder Shytoshi Kusama. While this move could strengthen the network’s long‑term credibility, it has introduced near‑term uncertainty, with traders hesitating as they await clarity on Shibarium upgrades and broader ecosystem direction.

The governance shift comes amid fading momentum across the meme coin space, with the Altcoin Season Index now at 34/100, signaling a broader cooldown. Weak whale participation and stagnant burn activity have also done little to offset persistent sell‑side pressure, leaving SHIB’s short‑term trajectory under strain.

Shiba Inu’s near‑term outlook will likely hinge on two factors: how quickly its governance overhaul translates into meaningful ecosystem progress, and whether renewed speculative inflows can revive interest during what remains a soft meme coin cycle. 
Until then, technicals point to a continuation of range‑bound trading, with market sentiment leaning cautiously bearish.
