Shiba Inu (SHIB) has defied expectations in May 2024, notching a growth of 13.2%. This positive performance marks a significant departure from May 2023’s dismal 15.4% slump. However, the real challenge for SHIB lies ahead. Historically, June has been an unkind month for the cryptocurrency, with SHIB experiencing declines of 4.75% in June 2021, 12% in June 2022, and 11.5% in June 2023.
Factors Suggesting a Turning Point
Several factors suggest that June 2024 could be a turning point for SHIB. First, the introduction of spot Bitcoin ETF products on US stock exchanges is expected to bolster institutional investment in the crypto space, potentially driving Bitcoin prices upwards. Given the strong correlation between SHIB and Bitcoin, a Bitcoin rally could significantly impact Shiba Inu’s price. Additionally, SHIB has flirted with a position within the top 10 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization, briefly displacing Cardano and Avalanche. This ability to maintain steady growth suggests that SHIB has the potential to erase its past losses.

Developments Within the Shiba Inu Ecosystem
Beyond external market forces, internal developments within the Shiba Inu ecosystem also provide reasons for optimism. The SHIB team has highlighted a “major evolution” within the ecosystem, likely referring to the full operationalization of Shibarium, a layer-2 blockchain solution designed to improve scalability and transaction speeds. Shibarium’s growing total value locked (TVL) indicates increasing user adoption and investment within the Shiba Inu ecosystem. The presence of functional decentralized applications (dApps) on Shibarium further incentivizes SHIB usage, potentially leading to a rise in demand for the token.

While predicting future market movements remains a challenge, SHIB’s May surge and the evolving Shiba Inu ecosystem offer compelling reasons to believe the token could break its historic June slump. For the first time, SHIB may achieve positive monthly growth in June 2024, marking a significant turning point.
