Shiba Inu (SHIB) hit an all-time high of $0.00008616 in October 2021, nearly five years ago. The asset had one of the most successful debuts in cryptocurrency history, registering multi-million percentage rallies within months of its launch. However, SHIB’s price has fallen by more than 93% from its peak and the asset is struggling to gain momentum. Let’s discuss if SHIB can hit a new all-time high in 2029. Can Shiba Inu Hit A New All-Time High By 2029? Source: Pixabay The 2029 timeline is important because many anticipate Bitcoin (BTC) to climb to a new all-time high by then. Bitcoin (BTC) has historically followed a four-year cycle. The asset has hit a new all-time high in 2017, 2021, and 2025. By that logic, many expect BTC to hit a new peak in 2029. Shiba Inu (SHIB) could potentially see a similar trend by the end of this decade. While there is a chance that Shiba Inu (SHIB) will follow Bitcoin’s (BTC) trajectory, there are substantial risks.

Ripple’s XRP token is taking off today, reclaiming the $1.44 mark once again. CoinGecko data shows that XRP has risen by 8.8% in the last 24 hours and nearly 30% in the last month. XRP faced substantial sell offs over the last several months, but seems to be turning the tide right now. Let’s discuss why XRP is rally today and if it can hit $2 next. Source: CoinGecko Why Is XRP Rallying Today? Source: TradingView XRP’s latest rally comes amid a market-wide resurgence. The rally is strange given that the Federal Reserve recently decided to raise interest rates by 25 basis points. Higher interest rates often leads to less investments in high-risk assets. The rally also comes right after the US Senate voted against the highly anticipated CLARITY Act. The cryptocurrency market seems to be going against the largely bearish trends. XRP’s latest price rally could be due to a dip in oil prices. Investors may be anticipating lower inflation numbers due to falling energy pr...

Holders of XRP, XLM and HBAR now have a real date circled on the calendar: September 15. That is when the Senate could hold a procedural vote on the CLARITY Act, and it could end up changing how regulators treat XRP, XLM and HBAR going forward. At the time of writing, crypto commentator X Finance Bull is calling this the deadline everyone should know about, and he is treating the vote itself as one worth watching. If you hold $XRP, $XLM or $HBAR, you need to understand the CLARITY Act before September 15. All three already have one massive thing in common that most people are overlooking. In March 2026, the SEC and CFTC explicitly named XRP, XLM and HBAR as examples of “digital… https://t.co/AXap0f2ekc pic.twitter.com/npLemzs9az — X Finance Bull (@Xfinancebull) September 8, 2026 Also Read: XRP Price Prediction: Why October 2026 Could Change Everything XRP September 15 Deadline Puts CLARITY Act Vote In Focus Source: Yahoo Finance What Is At Stake For XRP Holders September 15 Back i...

Shiba Inu is trading at $0.0000055 on Monday and is already in the red, heading south in the indices. SHIB has bled nearly 56% over the past year, making it one of the worst-performing cryptocurrencies in the market. An investment in the dog-themed token at any point this year has turned into losses for investors.

Will buying here generate quick profits for investors if Shiba Inu begins to scale up in the charts? In this article, we will highlight how high or low SHIB could trade by the end of September 2026. This will help you make an informed decision about wheth...

Opportunistic memecoin shills pounced on the unfortunate death of a popular San Francisco bodega cat this week with five tokens dedicated to the unfortunate feline already listed on Dex Screener’s 24-hour trending page. KitKat, a popular figure in the local community, was reportedly struck by an autonomous Waymo taxi on Monday night while sitting on the sidewalk.  His death caused many in the community to mourn, but crypto degens decided it was an opportunity to make a quick buck and quickly launched KitKat-themed coins, some of which have reached market caps of $8.6 million.  Large crypto accounts such as Crypto Bitlord and James Wynn coordinated to promote their own iteration of this memecoin while claiming that rival KitKat tokens were nothing more than “bundled scams.” The pair have been called out before by crypto sleuth ZachXBT for engaging in “grifts” and “scam” memecoin pump and dumps, promoting tokens they have holdings in before selling them shortly after.  ...

XRP hits $9000 in what turned out to be a shocking technical glitch that lasted just seconds on October 29, 2025. Crypto analyst John Squire actually posted video footage on X showing the price climbing to nearly $9,868 before immediately correcting itself.
