Shiba Inu’s Lucie Sets a Target for the Next Big Rally

Shiba Inu’s marketing lead, Lucie, thinks the meme coin’s ecosystem is on the verge of something big—but there’s a key price level that needs to be hit first. In a post on X yesterday, she hinted that an “Alt Season” might be brewing as the overall crypto market valuation climbed to $4.1 trillion.

For those not deep in crypto jargon, Alt Season is when smaller coins—altcoins—start outpacing Bitcoin in gains. Right now, though, Bitcoin’s still leading. The Altcoin Season Index sits at just 30 out of 100, according to CoinMarketCap.

The Magic Number: $30-$50 Billion

Lucie’s main point? Shiba Inu’s native token, SHIB, needs to hit a market cap between $30 and $50 billion to really kick things off. At that point, she believes other tokens in the ecosystem—TREAT, BONE, and LEASH—could see massive jumps.

Right now, SHIB’s sitting at a $7.59 billion market cap, with each token priced around $0.00001288. Hitting $30 billion would mean nearly a 300% surge. $50 billion? That’s over 550% from where we are now.

If you do the math, a $30 billion cap would push SHIB to roughly $0.00005091. At $50 billion, it’d be around $0.00008485. Not exactly life-changing numbers at first glance, but for a meme coin with a massive supply (589 trillion tokens), even small price moves add up fast.

Lucie’s advice? Hold whatever ecosystem token you believe in. She’s convinced the whole network is gearing up for a serious run.

The “Halo Effect” – And a Word of Caution

Kaal Dhairya, one of Shiba Inu’s lead developers, chimed in on Lucie’s post, calling this ripple effect a “halo.” Basically, SHIB’s success could lift the others—but he’s quick to add that he doesn’t want the smaller tokens to *depend* on SHIB’s performance. Each should stand on its own.

Still, Lucie’s no stranger to bold calls. She’s talked before about SHIB hitting $0.01 someday—or even, in wilder moments, $1. Whether that’s optimism or just hype, well, time will tell.

For now, the focus is on that $30-$50 billion mark. If SHIB gets there, things could get interesting. If not? Well, the crypto world’s never short on surprises.
