Shiba Inu Price Prediction: SHIB Can Make New Highs But Layer Brett Offers Bigger Multiples This Cycle

By: GlobePRwire



The Shiba Inu price prediction for the coming bull run is once again a hot topic, with traders debating how high SHIB can climb if crypto markets enter another risk-on phase. While forecasts point to the possibility of SHIB testing new highs, attention is also shifting toward emerging projects like Layer Brett (LBRETT), which some analysts believe could deliver far bigger multiples thanks to its early-stage presale and Ethereum Layer 2 foundation.


Shiba Inu price prediction heading into 2026


Shiba Inu has managed to stay relevant long after many doubted it could survive. Its community remains one of the strongest in crypto, with constant engagement on social media and steady developer activity supporting its ecosystem. The launch of Shibarium, its Layer 2 scaling solution, has also helped SHIB carve out more utility by lowering costs and increasing transaction speeds, making it more than just a meme token.


Developers have also been working to expand SHIB’s reach with projects in DeFi, the metaverse, and even gaming. Regular token burns continue to reduce circulating supply, something long-term holders believe will support price appreciation over time. These efforts highlight that Shiba Inu is not standing still but actively trying to evolve into an ecosystem coin.


Analysts believe SHIB could see another strong rally in the next cycle. If bullish conditions align, forecasts suggest a return to its previous highs is possible, with some even calling for new records. That would turn a $100 investment today into a few hundred dollars by 2026. While promising, the percentage gains are expected to be far smaller than what smaller-cap meme tokens in presale could deliver.


The main challenge for Shiba Inu is its size. With such a large market cap already, it’s harder for SHIB to deliver the same kind of life-changing multiples it produced during its early rise. Investors who want steady growth may be satisfied, but those chasing high-risk, high-reward plays are increasingly looking toward newer meme tokens entering the market.


Why Layer Brett could deliver bigger multiples


This is where Layer Brett (LBRETT) is beginning to separate itself. Unlike SHIB, which relies heavily on past momentum, Layer Brett is launching with both meme appeal and blockchain utility. As an Ethereum Layer 2 Meme Token, it offers faster transactions, cheaper fees, and security anchored to Ethereum’s base chain. That mix makes it more than just another hype coin.


The project’s presale has already raised more than $3.8 million, with tokens priced at just $0.0058. Early buyers can stake their holdings through the project’s dApp, earning around 686% APY in rewards, though these will decline as more users join. On top of staking, the roadmap highlights NFT integrations, gamified rewards, and a $1 million giveaway designed to keep the community active. With a fixed supply of 10 billion tokens, Layer Brett is aiming for long-term sustainability.


Conclusion: SHIB or LBRETT?


The latest Shiba Inu price prediction shows SHIB could push higher and possibly reach fresh highs if its Layer 2 scaling solution gains traction and broader market sentiment improves. But compared to SHIB’s slower growth potential, Layer Brett (LBRETT) is being highlighted as a token with much larger multiples in play.


With its early presale pricing, Ethereum Layer 2 design, and generous staking system, Layer Brett may offer the kind of returns that make SHIB’s upside look modest by comparison. For traders chasing bigger gains this cycle, LBRETT could be the smarter bet.
