Finder’s Expert Predictions For Shiba Inu: How High Can The Price Go In 2025?

NewsBTC

The Shiba Inu price continues to attract the attention of analysts, who are watching for its next potential move. A recent report from Finder, based on the insights of 26 crypto industry experts, reveals a cautiously optimistic outlook for SHIB.

Finder, a US-based information service, released a new quarterly report featuring price predictions for Shiba Inu in 2025. The report is based on a comprehensive survey conducted in January 2025, during which 26 crypto industry specialists shared their insights on Shiba Inu’s potential price by the end of 2025 and its projected performance through 2035.

Diverging Opinions On SHIB Price In 2025

According to the panel, Shiba Inu is forecasted to reach an average price of $0.0000399 by year’s end, marking an 84.3% increase from its January starting point of about $0.00002165. For its long-term price projection, the panel predicts that the popular meme coin will see a steady rise in the following years, erasing one zero to reach $0.0001971 by 2030 and $0.0008543 by 2035.

Gracy Chen, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Bitget, a crypto exchange, is among the most bullish voices among the panelists for the Shiba Inu price outlook. Chen cites SHIB’s positive technical indicators and recent support/resistance developments as signs of an ongoing bullish trend. She projects that the Shiba Inu price could hit a new target of $0.00006 by year-end. This represents 445.45%. Increase from the meme coin’s current market value of $0.000011.

Similarly, Ruadhan O, founder of Seasonal Tokens, sees SHIB closing 2025 at $0.00005, though he warns of Dogecoin’s enduring dominance in the space. He believes that Dogecoin will most likely take the spotlight away from SHIB, making it unlikely for it to reach a new all-time high this year.

Notably, not all panelists share the same bullish optimism for Shiba Inu. John Hawkins, a senior lecturer at the University of Canberra, projects that the price of SHIB will crash significantly, losing half of its value in 2025, falling to as low as $0.00001. His bearish prediction stems from the belief that meme coins could experience a similar decline to that of Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs). Hawks points to broader macro trends like US President Donald Trump’s political influence and Bitcoin’s dominance as key barriers that would limit meme coins’ growth.

Shiba Inu And Dogecoin Rivalry Continues

Despite the majority of Finder’s panelists having significantly bullish projections for the Shiba Inu price, 79% of them agree that SHIB will never surpass Dogecoin in market capitalization. Sathvik Vishwanath, the CEO of Unocoin, believes SHIB’s substantial circulating supply currently and speculative nature limit its long-term bullish prospects. This is despite its rapidly evolving ecosystem, which includes innovative projects like ShibaSwap and the upcoming TREAT token.

When asked whether now is the right time to buy, sell, or hold SHIB tokens, the panel was divided: 57% recommended holding, 13% advised buying, and 30% suggested selling. In addition, opinions on Shiba Inu’s current valuation were mixed. 48% of the panel believed that SHIB was overpriced, while 44% stated that it was fairly priced.

Ronen Cojocaru, the CEO of 8081 Inc., was among the most bullish panelists. He forecasted that SHIB could hit $0.00000743 by year-end, although he acknowledged that Shiba Inu is currently overpriced.

US jobless claims hint at stability as Bitcoin reaches 'inflection point' at $85K

Cointelegraph

The latest US initial jobless claims data came at 215,000, below the estimated expectation of 225,000, on April 17. The dip in jobless claims indicated that the US labor market remained stable, with fewer people being affected by the uncertainty of US tariffs. Initial jobless claims are a leading economic indicator that measures the health of the US economy and it often impacts investor sentiment around risk assets like Bitcoin (BTC).

Cryptocurrencies, Federal Reserve, Bitcoin Price, Markets, US Government

Resiliency in the labor market comes on the back of Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s recent comment about the impact of tariffs. In a press conference at the economics club of Chicago on April 16, Powell said,

“The level of the tariff increases announced so far is significantly larger than anticipated. The same is likely to be true of the economic effects, which will include higher inflation and slower growth.”

The Fed Reserve Chair also stated that the Fed has no plans to intervene with market bailouts or implement rate cuts in the near future. This stance aligns with his earlier comments from April 4, 2025, when he noted it was "too soon" to consider rate reductions, reflecting the Fed's cautious approach amid ongoing economic uncertainty.

However, the European Central Bank cut interest rates to 2.25% from 2.50% in order to combat economic pressure from US trade tariffs. According to data, the ECB has taken borrowing costs to its lowest level since late 2022, with the current rate cut marking its seventh reduction in a span of a year.

Bitcoin remains at an inflection point, says analyst

For risk assets like Bitcoin, the recent US jobless claims data leans bearish in the short term, as a strong labour market reduces the likelihood of rate cuts, which supports speculative investments.

BTC prices have consolidated in a tight range over the past few days, failing to break above the $86,000 level. In light of that, anonymous crypto trader Titan of Crypto said that Bitcoin is at an “inflection point”.

An inflection point in trading is a critical juncture where the market's direction or momentum may shift significantly. It’s a moment where the balance between buyers and sellers reaches a tipping point, often leading to a reversal or acceleration in the trend. The trader said,

“Bitcoin Inflection Point. On the 1H chart, BTC is contracting within a triangle and is about to choose a direction. The RSI is above 50 and attempting to break its resistance. A move is brewing.”

Order flow trader Magus noted that Bitcoin is consolidating between $83,700 and $85,200. For the bullish momentum to persist, BTC must break above $85,000 soon, as the long-term chart signals potential bearish risks if this level isn't surpassed.

A16z doubles down on LayerZero with $55M investment

Cointelegraph

Venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz, or a16z, announced a $55 million investment in LayerZero, a Web3 company that runs a crosschain messaging protocol. The investment was disclosed in an April 17 X post by Ali Yahya, a general partner in the firm.

A16z has made previous investments in LayerZero, including an initial investment in March 2022 and a subsequent investment during LayerZero’s Series B funding round in April 2023. The companies have not disclosed the funding round's valuation.

The Canada-based LayerZero was valued at $3 billion during its Series B funding round, which saw participation from 33 investors. In addition to a16z, Circle Ventures, OKX Ventures, OpenSea Ventures, Sequoia Capital, and many others participated at the time.

In January 2025, LayerZero reached a settlement with the FTX Estate over a long-running dispute stemming from allegations that it exploited the exchange’s liquidity crisis by “negotiating a fire-sale transaction,” according to the Estate. In June 2024, LayerZero launched its own token, LayerZero (ZRO).

Crosschain protocols, chain-agnosticism gain traction

Crosschain messaging protocols allow programs to share information across ecosystems and can be a critical function for decentralized applications (DApps) or traders who want seamless swaps across blockchains.

Some protocols competing in the same space as LayerZero include Wormhole, Stargate, Superbridge, Connext, and many others.

Wormhole may be one of the largest competitors to LayerZero, having raised $225 million at a $2.5 billion valuation in November 2023. Like LayerZero, Wormhole hosted an airdrop for its token, Wormhole (W), although the airdrop attracted scammers and spoof tokens. Chainlink also has a crosschain interoperability protocol that allows for messaging between blockchains.

More and more companies are realizing the value of being omnichain or at least chain-agnostic. Phantom, which at first was a Solana-centric wallet, now supports six major blockchains, including Bitcoin and Ethereum. Magic Eden, an NFT-infrastructure company, also started as Solana-centric but has launched marketplaces for multiple blockchains now.

Ethena Labs, Securitize unveil 'Converge' network roadmap

Cointelegraph

Ethena Labs, the developer of the USDe synthetic dollar (USDe), and financial technology company Securitize, released a preliminary roadmap for their upcoming Converge network, a high-throughput blockchain focused on real-world assets and decentralized finance (DeFi).

According to the announcement, a testnet will be live in the coming weeks, with a mainnet launch later in 2025.

Converge will feature a 100 milliseconds (ms) native block time, with plans to reduce block times to 50ms by Q4 2025. The developers also plan to achieve at least one gigagas of potential throughput during 2025. Gigagas is a measure of billions of gas units processed by a blockchain network in one second.

Ethena and Securitize are launching the network to support permissioned real-world tokenized applications and permissionless DeFi applications as the line between traditional and decentralized finance continues to blur.

Traditional finance converging with the crypto world

Traditional financial institutions are increasingly using decentralized finance protocols and interacting with tokenized real-world assets like stablecoins and tokenized bonds.

The merging of TradFi and DeFi has drawn mixed reactions from the crypto community, with some saying it was inevitable that the two worlds came together, and others warning of institutional capture.

In a Jan. 21 interview, Franklin Templeton CEO Jenny Johnson told Bloomberg that US President Donald Trump would integrate crypto and traditional finance by establishing clear regulations.

“We need to have some sort of regulatory clarity so that you could bring these together because, fundamentally, it will drive out costs, and there is great innovation that the technology enables,” Johnson said.

Shibtoshi, the founder of the SilentSwap privacy-preserving trading platform, recently told Cointelegraph that some institutions are currently hesitant to adopt decentralized finance solutions.

The DeFi founder said that a lack of privacy, legal liability issues, and unclear regulations have stymied institutional adoption, but added that the tools to address these concerns already exist.

"Institutions have realized the benefits of a securely decentralized system. As early as 2021, reports said nearly one in three institutional investors in crypto were already using DeFi," Shibtoshi told Cointelegraph.

Cypher Announces Late Filing of Annual Financial Disclosure

Acceswire

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / April 17, 2025 / Cypher Metaverse Inc. (CSE:CODE) ("Cypher" or the "Company") today announces that the filing of its audited annual financial statements, management's discussion and analysis and related CEO and CFO certifications for the financial year ended December 31, 2024 (the "Required Filings"), will be delayed beyond the filing deadline of April 30, 2025, and as a result will be in default of its obligations under Part 4 of National Instrument 51-102 Continuous Disclosure Obligations. The delay in the completion of the Required Filings is as a result of a change in the auditor of Cypher. Cypher's former auditor, PKF Antares Professional Corporation, has provided notice that they would be resigning as auditor of the Company. As a result, Cypher is working expeditiously to engage a replacement auditor of the Company and, as a result, has delayed filing of the Required Filings to ensure its new auditor can finalize their audit review once appointed.

The Company has made an application to the British Columbia Securities Commission (the "BCSC") for a management cease trade order (the "MCTO"), which would restrict all trading in securities of the Company, whether direct or indirect, by management of the Company. The MCTO does not generally affect the ability of shareholders who are not insiders of the Company to trade their securities. There is no certainty that the MCTO will be granted.

The Company is working expeditiously to replace its auditor and to complete the audit of its 2024 annual financial statements as soon as possible. Cypher plans to remedy the default and file the Required Filings as soon as it is able to do so and expects such filing to occur on or prior to June 30, 2025. The Company also intends to satisfy the provisions of the alternate information guidelines of Section 10 of National Policy 12-203 Management Cease Trade Orders as long as it is in default of the filing requirements.

The Company confirms that there are no insolvency proceedings against it as of the date of this press release. The Company also confirms that there is no other material information concerning the affairs of the Company that has not been generally disclosed as of the date of this press release.

Over $130 Million in BTC Stuns Top Crypto Exchange Coinbase

U.Today

Leading U.S. crypto exchange Coinbase has just been hit with a massive Bitcoin inflow totaling over $130 million, sparking fresh speculation around possible whale activity and market shifts. The movement was flagged by blockchain monitoring platform Whale Alert, which tracked two consecutive BTC transfers on April 17.

According to the data, a total of 1,546 BTC was sent to Coinbase in less than an hour. The transactions originated from the same mysterious wallet "3Pfmv9Cibqx3", suggesting a single entity was behind both moves.

The first transfer included 746 BTC, valued at approximately $63.1 million. The second, just minutes later, involved 800 BTC, worth around $67.7 million.

This wallet has a history of large-scale Bitcoin movements across exchanges, and its latest activity has reignited discussions around potential whale strategies.

Whales making chess moves?

The timing of the transactions is especially notable given the current market conditions. While Bitcoin’s trading volume has dropped by 20.01% over the last 24 hours, its price is climbing modestly, now sitting at $85,337, up 1.07%, per CoinMarketCap.

These kinds of large transfers to exchanges often serve as indicators of: impending sell-offs, institutional repositioning or liquidity plays ahead of major price movements

Some in the crypto community speculate this could signal a shift in whale sentiment, potentially toward short-term profit-taking amid recent market uncertainty. As one user commented, “It’s often a liquidity play before major moves.”

Despite ongoing volatility in the broader crypto space, Bitcoin has shown remarkable price resilience around the $85K level. Analysts remain divided on whether this whale activity signals a cooldown or a calculated setup for future gains.

Veteran trader Peter Brandt recently likened Bitcoin’s price action to “little boxes on the hillside,” suggesting consolidation that could precede a breakout.

Whether this massive Coinbase inflow marks the start of a market selloff or a strategic asset shuffle, one thing is clear—whales are moving, and the market is paying attention.
