Due to the potential for losses, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) considers this investment to be high risk.
What are the key risks?
1. You could lose all the money you invest
The performance of most cryptoassets can be highly volatile, with their value dropping as quickly as it can rise. You should be prepared to lose all the money you invest in cryptoassets.
The cryptoasset market is largely unregulated. There is a risk of losing money or any cryptoassets you purchase due to risks such as cyber-attacks, financial crime and firm failure.
2. You should not expect to be protected if something goes wrong
The Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) doesn't protect this type of investment because it's not a 'specified investment' under the UK regulatory regime – in other words, this type of investment isn't recognised as the sort of investment that the FSCS can protect. Learn more by using the FSCS investment protection checker.
The Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) will not be able to consider complaints related to this firm or Protection from the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) does not cover poor investment performance. If you have a complaint against an FCA regulated firm, FOS may be able to consider it. Learn more about FOS protection here.
3. You may not be able to sell your investment when you want to
There is no guarantee that investments in cryptoassets can be easily sold at any given time. The ability to sell a cryptoasset depends on various factors, including the supply and demand in the market at that time.
Operational failings such as technology outages, cyber-attacks and comingling of funds could cause unwanted delay and you may be unable to sell your cryptoassets at the time you want.
4. Cryptoasset investments can be complex
Investments in cryptoassets can be complex, making it difficult to understand the risks associated with the investment.
You should do your own research before investing. If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
5. Don't put all your eggs in one basket
Putting all your money into a single type of investment is risky. Spreading your money across different investments makes you less dependent on any one to do well.
A good rule of thumb is not to invest more than 10% of your money in high-risk investments.

Key Insights
2025 price forecast: The average year-end prediction for SHIB is $0.0000399.
Long-term projections: The panel sees shiba inu reaching new heights and hitting $0.0001971 in 2030 and $0.0008543 by 2035.
Panel split in SHIB’s value: About a half of the panel (48%) say shiba inu is overvalued.

SHIB no threat to DOGE: Almost four in five panel members (79%) don’t see SHIB’s market cap overtaking DOGE.
Shiba inu (SHIB) price predictions for 2025, 2030 and 2035
On average, our panellists think SHIB will be worth $0.0000399 by year-end 2025, which is 84.30% higher than the asset’s price at the start of 2025 — $0.00002165. It is worth noting that the price of SHIB is down below this figure at the time of writing compared to when the survey was conducted.
Our panellists also predict that SHIB will rise to $0.0001971 by year-end 2030 and $0.0008543 by year-end 2035. Both predictions are exceptionally bullish, given that SHIB’s all-time high hit $0.00008845 in October 2021.
Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget, is one of our most bullish panellists, with a prediction of $0.0000600 for year-end 2025.
Technically, SHIB has shown positive signals with recent price movements, particularly breaking resistance levels and establishing new support, which could indicate an ongoing bullish trend.
Ruadhan O, the founder of Seasonal Tokens, also sees SHIB having a strong 2025 and sees it closing out the year valued at $0.0000500. But, O does caution the threat posed by DOGE.
Shiba Inu has a strong community and ongoing active development. The launch of the new TREAT token, if handled well, could address concerns about centralisation, and the bull market of 2025 is likely to carry SHIB upward along with the rest of the market. However, DOGE is likely to take attention away from SHIB in 2025, making it unlikely to reach a new all-time high this year.
John Hawkins, senior lecturer at the University of Canberra and our resident crypto curmudgeon, sees SHIB losing about half its value in 2025 and ending the year worth $0.00001. He sees memecoins going the way of NFTs (non-fungible tokens).
Trump’s victory, growing influence of Musk and talk of a bitcoin reserve should make bitcoin and DOGE more attractive than other crypto and so drive down their price. In the past, there has been a strong correlation between the price of bitcoin and that of other coins, but this could break down as disillusion with memecoins sets in like it did with NFTs.
Is now the time to buy, hold or sell shiba inu (SHIB)?
The panel is split on whether it’s time to buy SHIB, sell or hold onto your shiba inu, with 57% saying hold, 13% saying buy and 30% saying sell.
Josh Fraser, the co-founder of Origin Protocol, is in the buy camp, saying while:
I am unsure of where shiba inu price action is headed over the long-term, I expect the token to follow the broader memecoin market through 2025, which I am bullish on.
Desmond Marshall, the managing director at Rouge International & Rouge Ventures, sees it as a sell, adding that SHIB is played out.
Another playful meme like DOGE … with just internet entertainment mentally behind. Nowhere near DOGE’s market cap. Using a Shiba as a figurehead is already worn-out comedy. (Even DOGE’s original dog is dead). A cat may have better traction.
Jeremy Britton, CFO of BostonTrading.co, thinks SHIB is a sell based on simple math.
There are over 500 trillion SHIB in existence. Good luck with that. The GDP of the entire world is only around 100 trillion. Even “the greater fool theory” has its limitations.
Mitesh Shah, the founder and CEO of Omnia Markets, is in the hold camp and sees its value rising based on “community sentiment.”
Do you think shiba inu is currently overpriced, underpriced or priced fairly?
As with whether or not it’s time to buy, sell or hold shiba inu, the panel is unable to reach a consensus on whether the asset is overpriced, underpriced or fairly priced. Nearly half (48%) say SHIB is overpriced, while 44% say SHIB is priced fairly.
While Ronen Cojocaru, the CEO of 8081 Inc, is one of our most bullish panel members, predicting SHIB to close 2025 worth $0.0000743 — a 243% increase from the beginning of 2025. He also says SHIB is overpriced, adding:
SHIB community got soft during the last down, and it may have hard competition among other coins.
Do you think SHIB will overtake SHIB by market cap?
While there has been a lot of hype around SHIB’s price, it doesn’t look like our panel sees it as a threat to DOGE, with 79% saying that SHIB’s market cap will never overtake dogecoin.
Sathvik Vishwanath, Unnocoin CEO, says that the supply of SHIB means that it has no chance to catch up to DOGE.
SHIB’s price is influenced by its growing ecosystem, including ShibaSwap and other utility developments. However, its large supply and speculative nature may limit its market cap growth relative to DOGE despite its passionate community and tokenomics improvements.
SHIB price predictions and view on its current price are informed by a combination of technical analysis, market sentiment, and fundamental developments within the Shiba Inu ecosystem. Technically, SHIB has shown positive signals with recent price movements, particularly breaking resistance levels and establishing new support, which could indicate an ongoing bullish trend.
