The Shiba Inu (SHIB), currently the second-largest meme cryptocurrency by market cap, has experienced a notable surge in its price over the past week.
As of now, SHIB is priced at $0.00001823, reflecting a 25% increase in just seven days. Despite this growth, it remains below its September peak of $0.00002152, achieved on September 27, a level not seen since June. The upward movement began around September 25 when SHIB broke past the $0.000015 threshold.
The recent rally seems to have been driven by FOMO (fear of missing out) in anticipation of the upcoming launch of SHI, a new stablecoin within the Shiba Inu ecosystem.
A recent post from Shiba Inu’s official account on Platform X on September 25 created buzz, hinting at exciting developments. Additionally, “Lucie,” a member of the Shiba Inu team, shared insights about the SHI release, emphasizing its importance for the Shibarium network and generating considerable interest in the crypto community.
While the precise reasons behind SHIB’s rally remain uncertain, there is a prevailing sense of optimism about its potential. Some speculate that ongoing FOMO could drive SHIB’s price even higher, possibly reaching $0.000035 with a 90% increase. Earlier in September, Changelly predicted SHIB might rise to approximately $0.00002785, closely aligning with recent highs. Moreover, their forecast for the end of 2024 anticipates an average price of around $0.000035 for SHIB.
