Shiba Inu could be set for a blockbuster year in 2025, with potential price increases that could surprise even the most seasoned analysts. The Shiba Inu ecosystem is excited about the launch of the innovative TREAT token, scheduled for January. But what exactly is TREAT, and how could it impact the cryptocurrency market?

TREAT: the key to decentralization

The launch of TREAT marks an important step in the evolution of Shiba Inu. Designed as a central pillar for the complete decentralization of the ecosystem, TREAT goes beyond being just another token in the crypto market.

According to lead developer Shytoshi Kusama, TREAT is “the final piece and the key” to achieving sustainable decentralization on the platform. The token will not only enable unprecedented functionality, but will also serve as an engine for governance initiatives and strategic investments on the network.

TREAT’s integration with SHIB Pay, an on-chain payment solution, promises to revolutionize real-world use cases for cryptocurrencies, expanding their utility in the global market.

Token Burn Debates in 2024

In 2024, the Shiba Inu ecosystem burned 44.6 billion SHIB, equivalent to approximately $1 million. Although significant, this number was considered insufficient by the community, given the total supply of 564 trillion SHIB.

The community is calling for an even larger burn by 2025, suggesting that the volume should at least double. Kusama, however, stressed: “Burning tokens alone will not solve our problems. We need widespread adoption and real use cases to ensure long-term success.”

This comment reflects the need to increase blockchain adoption, which would naturally increase the volume of token burning.

“Cross of Death” and a surprising twist

In late 2024, analysts identified a chart pattern known as a “death cross,” where the 23-day moving average crossed below the 50-day one, indicating a bearish trend for SHIB. However, the token has surpassed expectations.

After hitting a low of $0.00002, Shiba Inu staged a strong recovery, invalidating previous technical warnings and opening up room for further gains.

Predictions for Shiba Inu in 2025

Projections for 2025 indicate a year of strong fluctuations. The most optimistic analysts believe that the price could reach $0.000080, which would represent an increase of more than 250%. However, the cryptocurrency market is notoriously volatile, requiring constant attention.

Technical indicators, such as the RSI exiting the oversold zone and the reduction in bearish momentum in the MACD, suggest a possible reversal to an uptrend. Still, the challenge will be to balance expectations with market reality.

Shiba Inu seems about to enter a new phase. However, 2025 will be the true test to confirm whether the token will be able to meet investors' expectations.#BitcoinInSwissReserves $SHIB
