While the crypto market is going through another crisis, let us recall the forecasts made for 2022. By the way, some of them predicted the crash in the value of crypto assets. The situation around the major cryptocurrencies is more or less clear. And what about the meme coins? Taking Shiba Inu (SHIB) as a prime example, analysts concluded that other meme currencies have a good chance of developing a steady uptrend this year. For example, the Shiba Inu coin has bounced off its October highs and depreciated by more than three times, thus creating a great opportunity for buying. Experts believe that in 2022, the meme-based cryptocurrency has bright prospects ahead. The creators of the coin also fuel the excitement. Thus, moderators of the official Shiba Inu Discord channel announced that Shiba Inu “will welcome some big surprises for the upcoming year.” Later, Shiba Inu speakers went live on the AMA session to reveal the plans on launching a metaverse that will combine old and new products. The plans are really big. In 2022, the Shiba Inu ecosystem will be governed by the ShibArmy community united in a decentralized autonomous organization called Doggy DAO. The system has its own governance token, BONE, which allows Doggy DAO members to vote on all proposals and changes to the SHIB code. In addition to this, Shiba Inu games for smartphones will also feature their own tokens and NFTs. The ecosystem will be based on the layer-2 scaling solution called Shibarium. It is expected to make transactions between Shiba Inu and other blockchains much faster.
