Honestly, the 150,000x miracle in 2021 is almost impossible to repeat—but saying this coin is completely cooled off is an overstatement. It currently ranks among the top 23 cryptocurrencies by market cap, with a circulating market value still above $4.6 billion, and a solid user base. There have been quite a few moves in 2026. The official plan includes burning 10 billion tokens, and the Shibarium chain is set to upgrade its privacy technology. This upgrade will also improve the efficiency of the burn process. ShibaSwap 2.0 has just launched, with more flexible trading features. It looks lively at first glance, but the key issue is— the proportion of the burn volume relative to the total circulating supply isn't high, making it difficult to stir up a big wave in the short term. In the long run, SHIB is no longer just a MEME coin. Over the past two years, the community has been working to address its practical shortcomings, and the ecosystem is gradually expanding. Buying it now is less about betting on a surge and more about holding a "long-term potential ticket." The two key indicators to watch are: whether on-chain activity has genuinely increased, and whether the burn commitments can truly be implemented. Can this round of upgrades help SHIB make a comeback? Let's wait and see. $SHIB
