(SHIB) community is prioritizing lasting value and practical use rather than focusing on short-term price swings, as the token faces a volatile market filled with phishing scams, a surge in token burns, and a shift in investor interest toward privacy-centric cryptocurrencies. Although SHIB’s market capitalization stands at $5.87 billion—just behind Monero (XMR) at $6.11 billion—the project’s leaders are urging holders to remain patient, pointing to the project’s structural strengths amid changing industry dynamics.

Monero recently climbed 8.22% to $331.52,

, moving it to 21st place on CoinMarketCap and overtaking Shiba Inu for the first time since its inception. This development highlights a wider trend of capital flowing into privacy coins, which provide both fungibility and confidential transactions. Monero’s daily trading volume reached $210 million, surpassing SHIB’s $181 million, indicating a rising appetite for tokens with real-world utility. Analysts such as Mert from Solana’s Helius maintain that privacy is “essential” for widespread adoption, and they foresee continued momentum for privacy-focused tokens like Monero, even in the face of regulatory scrutiny.

At the same time, Shiba Inu is dealing with its own set of issues. The project

about a phishing scheme impersonating official channels, where scammers attempt to trick users into linking their wallets to fraudulent websites. The Shiba Inu team stressed that .io is the only legitimate platform for ecosystem activities, advising the community to report any suspicious links and to revoke token permissions using services like revoke.cash.

Despite these threats, Shiba Inu’s token burn activity has soared, helping to offset market instability. According to Shibburn, there was a

Some sources mention an , illustrating the unpredictable nature of burn statistics, which are influenced by low starting points and community-led supply reduction efforts. Over the last week, 229 million SHIB tokens have been destroyed, marking a 1,290.42% increase. These deflationary actions are intended to boost scarcity, though SHIB’s price remains under $0.000010, mirroring overall market weakness.

The larger crypto landscape is also undergoing changes. Established asset managers are entering the sector, with

for an actively managed crypto ETF that would include assets such as SHIB, , and . This initiative, from a $1.8 trillion investment firm, reflects the growing acceptance of digital assets among institutions. However, the SEC is currently facing a backlog of over 155 ETF applications—including those for XRP and Solana—due to the ongoing U.S. government shutdown.

Bitcoin’s performance continues to capture attention, with some analysts predicting that

. Bull Theory suggests that even a 0.2% shift of global assets into crypto could channel $93.8 billion into Bitcoin, using its liquidity multiplier to drive up its market cap. This positive outlook is supported by institutional investments exceeding $100 billion and reduced volatility, narrowing the gap between Bitcoin and traditional safe-haven assets like gold.

For Shiba Inu, future progress will depend on balancing community-led strategies with broader economic challenges. While increased burn rates and upgrades such as Shibarium’s plasma bridge are designed to support value, the project still faces issues like large holders selling and stagnant total value locked (TVL). In the past month, savvy investors have
