Smile, a well-known voice in the cryptocurrency world, has recently shared some eye-catching predictions, suggesting that Dogecoin ($DOGE ), Shiba Inu
($SHIB ), and $XRP could surge to $25, $0.05, and $160, respectively. Smile also hinted at a potential timeline when these price levels could be realized.
When Will Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, and XRP Hit These Targets?
In a recent post on X (formerly Twitter), Smile hinted that Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, and XRP might achieve these levels by 2026. Although an exact timeframe wasnât given, many experts, such as Rekt Capital, believe this could align with the apex of the next bull market, anticipated in late 2025 or early 2026.
Top analysts like Kevin Capital (previously OG Yomi) are taking a more conservative stance on Dogecoin, forecasting it could hit $1 in the current cycle. Kevin speculates that DOGE could even spike to $3 based on past performance, though reaching double digits in this market cycle seems less likely. However, optimism around the meme token remains strong.
Shiba Inuâs Path to $0.05
Even more striking is Smile's prediction that Shiba Inu could climb to $0.05, effectively dropping two zeros. This is one of the more bullish forecasts for SHIB, the second-most popular meme coin. However, Oscar Ramos, a respected crypto analyst, has raised concerns about this projection. He pointed out that SHIBâs vast circulating supplyânearly 600 trillion tokensâmakes reaching $0.01 challenging without drastic changes in supply mechanics.
Ramos explained that while there are ongoing initiatives to burn SHIB tokens and reduce the overall supply, the current pace suggests it could take many years to influence the price significantly. Despite these hurdles, experts like Ali Martinez remain optimistic, projecting SHIB could touch $0.02 during this cycle. Meanwhile, crypto researcher Armando Pantoja has even speculated that SHIB could rise to $0.002.
XRPâs Journey to $160
Smile is not alone in forecasting XRPâs dramatic rise to $160. Crypto analyst Javon Marks has suggested that a Full Logarithmic Follow-Through could drive XRP to this impressive price level. Others, including Crypto Tank, believe XRP could hit triple-digit prices if it captures a significant share of SWIFTâs daily transaction volume, possibly around 15%.
These predictions emphasize the speculative nature of cryptocurrency investments, presenting both opportunities for extraordinary gains and risks. While no one can predict the future with certainty, the coming years could play a pivotal role in determining whether these ambitious forecasts materialize.
