AI Predicts Shiba Inu Could Reach $0.01 By 2030
Advanced AI models are forecasting ambitious but potentially achievable price targets for Shiba Inu, with ChatGPT suggesting the meme coin could reach $0.01 by 2030 given specific market conditions and ecosystem developments. This comes despite SHIB’s current struggle at $0.00001213, representing a 48% decline since the beginning of the year.
While many cryptocurrency analysts have dismissed the possibility of SHIB ever reaching a penny, AI evaluations are challenging this skepticism by mapping potential pathways to this milestone. “Shiba Inu to $1 is not impossible but $0.01 more likely,” states a recent analysis shared by the Shiba Inu marketing team, according to The Crypto Basic.
ChatGPT’s analysis points to SHIB’s historical performance during the 2021 bull run, when it delivered a staggering 40x gain fueled by community strength and market momentum, as evidence of the token’s potential for explosive growth under favorable conditions.
Scaling and Burning Mechanisms
Achieving the $0.01 milestone would require significant reduction in SHIB’s massive 589 trillion token supply. AI models identify Shibarium, the project’s layer-2 blockchain solution, as a critical component for reaching this target through accelerated token burns.
“A surge in transactions on Shibarium would naturally drive up token burns, helping reduce SHIB’s vast circulating supply,” explains the analysis. This token-burning mechanism could gradually decrease the available supply, potentially driving up the price over time.
Lucie, who leads marketing efforts for the Shiba Inu ecosystem, has consistently acknowledged that while achieving $0.01 is possible, the price target will require patience. “Progress takes time and market participants should not expect it overnight,” she emphasized in her latest comments referenced by The Crypto Basic.

AI Timeline Comparisons
Interestingly, different AI models offer varying timelines for SHIB’s growth trajectory. While ChatGPT suggests $0.0005 could be achieved between 2025 and 2026, Elon Musk’s Grok AI presents a more conservative estimate of 2027-2030 for the same price point.
“Grok believes SHIB could reach $0.0005 in a more optimistic scenario as early as 2025-2026, driven by a bull comeback,” notes the analysis. “However, it cautions that the timeline is speculative, and any market downturn or lack of innovation in the Shiba Inu ecosystem could push these targets further out.”
For the higher target of $0.003, Grok projects a timeline of 2035-2040, while ChatGPT more aggressively estimates 2028-2032. Traditional analysts at Changelly align more closely with Grok’s conservative estimates, projecting $0.0005 by 2031 and $0.003 between 2033 and 2040.
Ecosystem Development
Beyond token burns, AI analyses highlight several factors that could contribute to SHIB’s potential growth. The expanding utility of the token across everyday use cases such as payment systems, gaming applications, and digital identity platforms could drive sustained demand.
Additionally, the emergence and adoption of ecosystem tokens like TREAT and BONE could add substantial value to the Shiba Inu ecosystem, creating a network effect that benefits the core SHIB token.
“The growing utility of SHIB across everyday use cases, such as payment systems, gaming applications, and digital identity platforms” is cited as a key driver for potential price appreciation. This utility-focused development represents a significant evolution from SHIB’s origins as a simple meme coin.
Market Reality Check
Despite these optimistic projections, market realities present significant hurdles. With a circulating supply of roughly 589 trillion tokens, a $0.01 price would push Shiba Inu’s market capitalization to $5.89 trillion—far exceeding the current market cap of Bitcoin and approaching the total value of gold.
Bitcoin advocate Davinci Jeremie has cited this enormous market cap requirement as a reason why SHIB may never reach ambitious price targets without dramatic supply reduction. “As a result, for this price to materialize, Shiba Inu might require a large-scale burn event,” notes the analysis.
While SHIB currently shows surprising resilience amid market uncertainty, trading at about $0.000012 according to U.Today, the token faces significant technical challenges as it tests the resistance range between $0.0000124 and $0.0000130.
Whether artificial intelligence or human analysts are correct in their projections, the path to $0.01 for Shiba Inu represents one of cryptocurrency’s most ambitious and closely watched potential journeys in the years ahead.
