The 2021 cryptocurrency bull run saw Shiba Inu (SHIB) produce extraordinary returns for early investors. An analysis reveals that a minuscule $13 investment at the token’s November 2020 low could have grown to over $1 million by mid-2025, representing an 8 million percent gain. Those who sold at the October 2021 peak could have realized a staggering $15.15 million from the same initial investment.
The hype around Shiba Inu (SHIB) during the 2021 rally was very real. Investors becoming overnight millionaires was common talk in the crypto sphere after its price skyrocketed by several million percent, an event triggered after Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin burned nearly 410 trillion tokens he had received.
SHIB’s 2021 rally was one for the history books. As the years went on, however, Shiba Inu’s price dwindled down, currently trading about 94% below its all-time high of $0.00008616.
Despite the massive price dip since its peak, some early investors are still sitting on big gains. Changelly’s ROI calculator shows that a $13 investment on November 11, 2020, when SHIB traded at approximately $0.00000000005637, would be worth over $1 million today. That portfolio would have grown by 8,074,465%.
The potential gains were even more pronounced at the token’s peak. If that $13 investment had been sold at SHIB’s all-time high on October 28, 2021, it would have yielded $15.15 million. “Your investment would have risen by 116,556,166% (116.55 million percent),” according to the data.
Shiba Inu’s incredible rally during the 2021 bull run made the asset significantly popular. It especially struck a chord with new crypto investors who wanted to make it big with minimal investments.
