Pseudonymous analyst Daffy Trader has predicted that Shiba Inu could reach a new all-time high (ATH) by next year, 2026
Shiba Inu to Reach New ATH Next Year
Notably, Shiba Inu appeared among the crypto assets that Daffy expects to post strong gains next year. His projection suggests that SHIB could reach a peak of $0.00009 by 2026.
At that level, Shiba Inu would edge past its October 2021 all-time high of $0.00008845. In particular, the outlook will represent a substantial 1,150% increase from its current price of $0.000007197.
This forecast reflects growing optimism within the Shiba Inu community about a potential turnaround. SHIB has faced sustained bearish pressure in recent months, adding a fifth zero and slipping below $0.000007. But many investors continue to anticipate a rebound.
Why Investors Are Still Bullish on SHIB
This optimism stems from expectations of clearer crypto regulation from the likely passage of the CLARITY Act in 2026. The legislation will define the regulatory status of digital assets and reduce market manipulation. In turn, the legislation could improve institutional confidence and encourage broader participation in crypto markets.
Meanwhile, speculation is rising that Shiba Inu could gain its first U.S. spot ETF exposure or be added to an ETF basket next year. This narrative gained traction after T. Rowe Price listed SHIB among assets that could feature in its spot basket ETF.
At the same time, Grayscale identified SHIB as eligible under the SEC’s Generic Listing Standard (GLS) framework.
Upon fulfilling the required conditions, the T. Rowe filing could secure approval within ETF timelines, opening institutional access to SHIB. Commentators view ETFs as powerful price catalysts, as inflows often translate into increased adoption of the underlying assets.
Meanwhile, Shiba Inu is set to benefit from technical upgrades in 2026. Zama plans to deploy its Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) technology on Shibarium in the first half of the year.
Notably, this upgrade could attract developers and users seeking to deploy private smart contracts, thereby strengthening network adoption and potentially boosting interest in SHIB.
