Shiba Inu (SHIB) has been trading at steady lows but continues to see significant institutional and investor interest. The token has been listed for spot trading by Japan’s Rakuten Wallet, signaling regulatory approval in a major market. Despite its price weakness, large-scale accumulation by whales and exchange withdrawals suggest reduced selling pressure. Price prediction models indicate potential modest gains through the end of 2026.
Shiba Inu has encountered steady lows in the tumultuous crypto market but aims for growth. The asset has been listed for spot trading by Rakuten Wallet in Japan starting April 15, alongside major assets like XRP and Dogecoin.
“Japan is one of the most regulated crypto markets in the world. Listings don’t happen casually here. SHIB already cleared strict approval under Japan’s framework,” a community account stated. Despite trading near $0.0000059, down approximately 93% from its all-time high, the token is being accumulated.
In late March 2026, roughly 30 billion SHIB was withdrawn from exchanges, easing selling pressure. A BitGo-linked wallet also acquired 120 billion SHIB across four transactions in early April, holding long-term.
According to CoinCodex, Shiba Inu may hit a new high of $0.000004975 by the end of Q3 2026. It may later reach a stable price of $0.000005161 by the end of December 2026.
Their models project an end-of-year 2026 price of $0.055161, representing a -12.18% change from current rates. Further predictions show values of $0.053245 by 2030, $0.00001025 by 2040, and $0.00002856 by 2050.
