Shiba Inu (SHIB) is among the most popular cryptocurrencies in the market. The asset’s astronomical rally during the 2021 bull run solidified its name as a “millionaire-maker.” Several early investors made massive returns with minimal investments. While SHIB continues to be a popular crypto asset, the coin has failed to regain its 2021 momentum over the last few years.

SHIB is currently down by 2% in the daily charts, 6.6% in the weekly charts, and 47.4% since May 2024. Despite the big red numbers, the asset is up 1.5% in the 14-day charts and 4.7% over the previous month.

Will The Asset Recover

The recent crypto market rally was likely fueled by institutional investors. BlackRock purchased over $3 billion worth of Bitcoin (BTC) since Apr. 22. The lack of retail money in the market may be a reason for SHIB’s current predicament.

Low prices may also present a good opportunity for new investors to buy the asset at cheaper prices before the bull market kicks off. SHIB is an incredibly popular project with a lot of room for growth. The Shibarium network has brought more utility to the SHIB ecosystem. As more projects build on Shibarium, SHIB’s price may see an uptick.
