Shiba Inu (SHIB) ended the week to September 8, 2026 higher. It was $0.00000543 at 00:00 UTC that day, up from $0.00000514 a week earlier, a gain of 5.6%. Over thirty days it was up 16.8%. But it still sat below the $0.00000564 reached on August 22, at the top of a three-day spike on very high volume. All figures here come from one data aggregator, Coinpaprika, in daily snapshots taken at 00:00 UTC.
The week in numbers
| Metric (00:00 UTC, September 8, 2026) | Value |
|---|---|
| Price | $0.00000543 |
| Change vs September 1 ($0.00000514) | +5.6% |
| Change vs August 8 ($0.00000465) | +16.8% |
| Market capitalisation | $3.20 billion |
| 24-hour trading volume (all venues tracked) | $62.3 million |
| Lowest daily snapshot, September 1–8 | $0.00000514 (September 1) |
| Highest daily snapshot, September 1–8 | $0.00000548 (September 7) |
The week climbed steadily: $0.00000515 on September 2, $0.00000530 on September 3, $0.00000540 on September 5 and $0.00000548 on September 7. It then slipped slightly into September 8. Volume barely changed, between $54 million and $65 million a day. So the move did not come with a jump in activity.
These are once-a-day snapshots, not intraday highs and lows. The real seven-day range was at least this wide.
The August spike the week was measured against
The context for the week is what happened between August 19 and August 22, 2026:
- August 19: $0.00000451, with $44.0 million in daily volume.
- August 20: $0.00000486, with $102.8 million.
- August 21: $0.00000525, with $137.6 million.
- August 22: $0.00000564, with $255.9 million in volume, about 5.8 times the August 19 level.
That was a 25% rise in three days. It faded once volume normalised: by August 31 SHIB was at $0.00000504 on $64.8 million in volume. The early-September gain recovered most of that decline, but it did not retake the August 22 level.
We found no primary source that explains the August 20–22 move. Media reports from that period disagree with each other and with the price data, so no cause is given here.

Longer-term context
- All-time high: Coinpaprika records an all-time high of $0.00008837 on October 28, 2021. At $0.00000543, SHIB was about 93.9% below that level on September 8, 2026. Other aggregators list a slightly different peak because they use different venues and methods.
- Supply: Coinpaprika lists a total supply of about 589.5 trillion SHIB and no fixed maximum supply. With so many tokens, even a market capitalisation in the billions means a price far below one cent.
Since then
As of October 25, 2026 (11:10 UTC), Coinpaprika lists SHIB at about $0.00000484, with a market capitalisation of $2.85 billion and 24-hour volume of $28.8 million. That is roughly 11% below the September 8 level. It also lists SHIB as down 3% over seven days and flat over thirty.
How to read a weekly figure like this
- Check the starting point. "+5.6% in a week" sounds strong, but here it was a partial recovery after a fall from a spike.
- Compare price with volume. The August spike came with five to six times normal volume. The September climb came on ordinary volume. Volume shows how much trading lay behind a move, not which way the price will go next.
- Know what kind of data you have. Daily snapshots miss intraday extremes, and different aggregators record different all-time highs and volumes for the same token.
Limitations: every figure comes from a single aggregator (Coinpaprika) at 00:00 UTC each day. Other data sources may show different values. This is not investment advice, and crypto assets can lose value quickly.
