Shiba Inu (SHIB), once deemed impossible due to its astronomical supply, has surged into the spotlight as a provocative claim that market belief and enthusiasm could propel it to the $1 milestone. On X, crypto analyst Szymanski, who boasts about 100,000 followers, predicted SHIB could reach $1 by 2026, shocking the market. Szymanski acknowledged that the forecast may be mathematically infeasible, but emphasized the meme-coin’s unique dynamism.
He argued that SHIB’s price is not driven solely by supply metrics. He noted that in past bull markets, SHIB’s growth was driven by belief, timing, and public interest rather than logic. He added that whenever detractors claimed SHIB had ended, the chart would rebound and set higher lows, evidence that investor enthusiasm remains. The meme coin’s volatility could turn belief into a self-fulfilling surge.
Yet counterarguments remain substantial. To reach $1, SHIB would require a market capitalization equal to its circulating supply—around $589 trillion, far surpassing the global GDP of about $120 trillion. Even after burning roughly 41% of the total supply, about 589.24 trillion SHIB remains in circulation, creating a mathematical mismatch with global money supply. Additionally, anonymous leadership and unmet promises have eroded investor trust, posing another obstacle.
Without a dramatic increase in burns, skeptics say the $1 target is a mirage. Ultimately, SHIB’s bid for $1 hinges on whether public frenzy can overcome mathematical constraints. The meme-coin volatility could turn the mathematical impossibility into reality or crash into a mirage as market attention remains focused.
