Previously, a well-known crypto influencer Zach Humphries noted that Shiba Inu (SHIB) could see a major upswing over the next year.

In a recent YouTube video, Humphries expressed confidence in SHIB’s long-term potential despite recent market volatility. While he said SHIB might not repeat its past explosive growth, he predicted the token could still experience substantial gains. “Could SHIB 10x in this cycle and hit all-time highs? Absolutely, it’s very possible,” Humphries stated, adding that SHIB’s future is likely tied to Ethereum’s performance.

Humphries emphasized the value of patience in the crypto market. “We need to wait for the market to recover,” he advised, predicting that as Ethereum reaches new heights, SHIB and other ERC-20 tokens are likely to follow.

The Rise of Memecoins: Community, Accessibility, and Market Impact

The Shib Daily reported previously that Shiba Inu is being dubbed the “locomotive of memecoins.” An analyst also predicted that SHIB is set for a “bull run.”

Another report highlighted that memecoins — such as Dogecoin, Pepe, and Shiba Inu — have emerged as one of the fastest-growing segments in this year’s cryptocurrency revival. 

The number of meme-related projects has surged by over 440% in the past two years, positioning this sector as the fourth most valuable in the crypto space, surpassing decentralized finance and blockchain-related services, according to BDC Consulting.

Memecoins often foster strong, vibrant communities of investors and enthusiasts who share a common interest. These communities can be found on social media platforms like Reddit, Twitter, and Telegram, where members exchange information, offer support, and engage in lively discussions. This sense of community is one of the most appealing aspects of memecoins.

They typically have low entry prices compared to more established cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin or Ethereum. This accessibility makes them attractive to new investors and those with limited capital, allowing a broader range of people to participate in the crypto market.

As the crypto market continues to evolve, memecoins remain a wildcard. While their recent performance has been impressive, their future remains uncertain. For now, investors are enjoying the ride, hoping that each memecoin season will be as lucrative as the last.
