The meme coin Shiba Inu (SHIB) ecosystem, which once heated up the market and heralded the birth of numerous billionaires, is now effectively collapsing and turning into an investor's graveyard. In particular, the ecosystem's core tokens are recording a desperate plunge of nearly 100% from their all-time highs, presenting a stark contrast to altcoins with real value such as XRP (Ripple).
According to the cryptocurrency media outlet Watcher.Guru on April 24 (local time), BONE and LEASH, the main tokens of the Shiba Inu ecosystem, have lost almost 100% of their value from their peaks, effectively becoming worthless. Shiba Inu itself, the leading token, also plummeted nearly 93% from its all-time high of $0.00008616, but BONE crashed 99.6% from $15.50 and LEASH collapsed 100% from $4,528, turning the so-called Shiba Inu Trifecta into loss generators burning investors' wallets.
Currently, BONE is trading at a dismal $0.057, and LEASH at $0.0000000009. Investors who bought LEASH when it hovered around $1,000 in the past are now experiencing the worst investment failure, seeing its current price with nine zeros after the decimal point. Due to the nature of meme coins, prolonged declines lead to a loss of market interest. Unlike Shiba Inu, which still has public recognition, BONE and LEASH have completely lost their buzz, making a rebound virtually impossible.
Market attention is now focused on whether Shiba Inu will also follow the destructive path of BONE and LEASH. The media diagnosed that Shiba Inu has already traveled more than half of the same path of collapse as its ecosystem tokens. While it still maintains its popular brand value and visibility, this recognition is not translating into actual price increases, and all recent investment positions have resulted in losses.
The dream of reaching $0.01 and $1, which investors once eagerly pursued, has been shattered by harsh reality, making new entry into the entire Shiba Inu ecosystem an extremely risky gamble. Experts point out that altcoins with practical utility, such as XRP, BNB, and Solana (SOL), can offer much more stable and better investment returns.
The prevailing analysis is that the golden age of meme coins, represented by Dogecoin (DOGE), Shiba Inu, Bonk (BONK), and Pepe (PEPE), is already over. These meme coins no longer add any real value to the broader cryptocurrency market and are fading into history, leaving their past glory behind.
