Shiba Inu (SHIB) has fallen 64 percent over the past year, and an analysis showed that if you invested $100,000 about a year ago, it would now be worth about $36,000.

Blockchain media outlet The Crypto Basic reported on May 16 that crypto analyst Ash Crypto presented the figures while comparing one-year returns of major traditional assets and cryptocurrencies.

In the comparison, Shiba Inu was classified as one of the asset groups with the biggest declines. Ash Crypto estimated Shiba Inu fell 64 percent over a year, meaning a $100,000 investment would shrink to about $36,000. The data also showed meme coins and altcoins such as Pepe (PEPE), Dogecoin (DOGE), Ondo (ONDO), Uniswap (UNI) and Official Trump (TRUMP) posting double-digit losses.

Large cryptocurrencies were not exceptions. The figures showed that $100,000 invested in Bitcoin (BTC) a year ago would now be worth $72,000, while ether (ETH) was tallied at about $83,000.

Traditional assets, meanwhile, showed strong performance. Nvidia rose 74 percent over the period, while the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq gained 27 percent and 39 percent, respectively. Ash Crypto assessed that the comparison showed traditional assets outpacing most cryptocurrencies by a wide margin over the past year.

Shiba Inu's actual price action also points in a similar direction. Shiba Inu traded between about $0.0000145 and $0.0000148 in May 2025. The price then maintained four zeros after the decimal point. Selling pressure later increased, adding one more zero to the price digits, and it is now trading near $0.000006080. That is about 60 percent lower than a year ago, close to Ash Crypto's claimed 64 percent fall.

The drop compared with the year's high is also significant. Shiba Inu is down nearly 40 percent from its 2026 high of $0.00001. It recently tried to regain the $0.000007 level but slipped as downward pressure strengthened again.

Trading indicators have also slowed. Shiba Inu trading volume over the past 24 hours was tallied at about $109 million, down 10.6 percent. With prices falling and volume declining at the same time, momentum for a short-term rebound appears to have weakened.

Broader market weakness is also weighing on Shiba Inu. Macroeconomic and geopolitical factors such as tariff disputes between the United States and major economies and rising tensions in the Middle East have continued to pressure the crypto market over the past year. The comparison also confirmed that Shiba Inu was not alone in weakness, with meme coins and altcoins broadly shaken together in the same period.

The comparison shows Shiba Inu's decline was not limited to a single token, but that the broader crypto market underperformed traditional assets over the past year. While Nvidia and the Nasdaq were strong, bitcoin and ether also stayed in loss territory, and meme coins and altcoins recorded steeper declines. Shiba Inu is in a phase where it needs to first confirm a weak trend rather than a short-term rebound, with slowing trading volume adding to the pressure.
