- Shiba Inu upgrades ShibaSwap with new liquidity pools and a user-friendly interface.
- SHIB’s price drops despite the announcement, facing bearish signals.
The Shiba Inu team has rolled out a major upgrade to ShibaSwap, the decentralized exchange (DEX) within its ecosystem. The upgrade is intended to boost liquidity pools (LPs), users’ experiences, and provide liquidity providers with real-time analytics.
In an update on X, the team laid out the features with a special emphasis on a streamlined process in LP managing. The users are now able to migrate, import, and establish liquidity pools with a simple and intuitive interface. The revised UI is faster with smart TVL, APY, trade volume, and trending pool based sorting.

In addition, the upgrade also introduces insights for liquidity providers. The real-time tracking capability allows users to view the performance of their liquidity, view TVL across the entire ecosystem, and compare the top performing pools.
These improvements are intended to encourage greater participation, rewarding users with rewards for depositing liquidity and deepening the Shiba Inu system. Shibarium Updates also highlighted the upgrades, calling them a “supercharged” boost in liquidity pools.
The DEX now supports seamless asset transfers among multiple blockchains, paving the way for future cross-chain integration. Faster fetching and reduced memory usage promises a smoother performance for users. Despite these upgrades, SHIB’s market reaction was not favorable.
Shiba Inu Declines 7% Weekly As Death Cross Emerges
Shiba Inu’s price has taken a hit despite the positive update. Over the past 24 hours, SHIB dropped 2% to $0.00001544. The weekly trend is even worse, with the token losing nearly 7% of its value. The price decline coincides with a significant technical development, a death cross on SHIB’s daily chart.
This bearish pattern occurs when the 50-day moving average falls below the 200-day moving average, historically signaling extended downward pressure. This marks the first major death cross for Shiba Inu in 2025, raising concerns among investors.
Adding to the bearishness, on-chain analytics shows a significant reduction in whale activity. Crypto analyst Ali reported whale transactions on the Shiba Inu network decreased by a whopping 79% in the last three months.
Whale interest declines are bearish signals, usually reflecting decreased momentum, and a rebound would be tougher in such a case.
However, not every market observer is bearish. One such market observer is market analyst Javon Marks, who noted that SHIB has seemingly broken out of a falling wedge with a downward-trending shape.
If such a breakout is sustained, a gain in excess of 422% is predicted, with a potential high in the coin at a level of $0.00008841.
Can SHIB Break Records in 2025? Key Factors to Watch
Despite SHIB’s recent decline, there are still longer timescale bull-run predictions. Telegaon predicted a mean value of Shiba Inu in 2025 of $0.0000552.
If the market mood turns favorable and there is a bull run, SHIB is likely to touch a high of $0.0000728 on a yearly basis. It would represent a major rebound and even a record high.
Yet, downside risks still lurk. If the broader crypto market declines again, the price of SHIB could dip down to a low of $0.0000368. Much of the future performance of SHIB will rely on market conditions, adoption rate, and investor sentiment.
Some experts are sure that the value of SHIB would skyrocket beyond current projections in the presence of major catalysts, including increased Shibarium usage, new token burns, or integration with other DeFi ecosystems.
