Japan Imperial Family's beloved dog Yuri dies due to old age
TOKYO -- The Imperial Family's beloved dog Yuri has died due to old age at 16 years and 4 months, a close aide to the Imperial Household announced on June 26. Emperor Naruhito, Empress Masako and their daughter Princess Aiko were all present when Yuri passed away on the evening of June 23 at the Imperial Residence within the Imperial Palace. Yuri was a female mixed breed dog with Shiba Inu traits, rescued at a veterinary hospital. The Imperial Couple adopted her in the spring of 2009 when she was about 2 months old, and Princess Aiko named her Yuri. She appeared frequently in family photographs released by the Imperial Household Agency to mark the family's birthdays and other occasions. Yuri had received training as a therapy dog and reportedly participated in animal therapy activities until the COVID-19 pandemic began. She interacted with children hospitalized in pediatric wards and took walks with them in hospital hallways. According to the aide, the Imperial Family stayed by Yuri's side in her final moments, recalling how deeply she had been loved by many people.

This trader spotted dogecoin (DOGE) and shiba inu's (SHIB) potential early, now backs this meme coin for 2025
Back in 2021, when Dogecoin (DOGE) was trading under $0.004 and Shiba Inu (SHIB) hadn't yet touched $0.00001, one trader saw the momentum building before the frenzy hit. DOGE went on to peak near $0.74, while SHIB surged to $0.000088, turning small bets into life-changing returns. Now, that same trader is pointing to Little Pepe (LILPEPE), currently priced at $0.0012 in stage three of its presale, up 20% from its first tier. Investors entering now will get a 2.5x return with a listing price set at $0.003. But projections suggest this is only the beginning. Based on community traction, supply metrics, and launch hype, analysts are eyeing a breakout to $1 within the first post-launch run. Little Pepe (LILPEPE) Presale Hits $1.8M The Little Pepe (LILPEPE) presale continues to pick up speed, with over $1.8 million raised and 2.51 billion tokens sold.

2 Reasons to Buy Shiba Inu (SHIB) Before 2026
Shiba Inu has a ton of entertainment potential. But another crypto asset is far superior for the long term. 10 stocks we like better than Shiba Inu › With a $6.6 billion market cap, Shiba Inu (CRYPTO: SHIB) is one of the biggest meme coins in the crypto universe. It has been a wild year so far, with SHIB losing roughly 50% of its value as of June 23. However, there are two compelling reasons to buy before 2025 is finished. Let's take a look at Shiba Inu's potential growth catalysts. Have some extra cash you're looking to do something fun with? Shiba Inu is the perfect fit. It has been a popular crypto token for nearly five years, showing extreme volatility at times. In 2021, SHIB's value skyrocketed by more than 1,000% over the course of just a few months. This type of run has happened several times over its trading history. Of course, the opposite has occurred as well -- this year's 50% drop is a testament to that potential. Still, there's no doubt that Shiba Inu is a fun asset to buy and sell for those with extra cash who are looking for a bit of entertainment. Is there any more lightning left in Shiba Inu's proverbial bottle? Catching the next big pop could be very lucrative. It's not just the expectation of financial profit and pure fun that makes Shiba Inu an interesting buy in 2025. Researchers have also found that meme coins and meme stocks can fuel social connections, adding another layer to their allure. "During the pandemic, people were starved for interaction and entertainment," Bloomberg columnist Matt Levine observes. "Trading GameStop became a social activity, a way to have fun and connect with others." Due to this, a recent article from the University of Pennsylvania highlighted "how social media and collective action can create an entirely new kind of valuation." Buying Shiba Inu this year can provide you with the potential for fun and social connection. There's nothing wrong with that. But if you want to build wealth in 2025, and the decades to come, there's a far better crypto asset to consider. Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) is the original crypto asset. Launched in 2009, it provided the blueprint for other coins to follow and has remained the largest crypto asset ever since, with a total market cap of roughly $2 trillion today. Like Shiba Inu, Bitcoin doesn't abide by traditional valuation standards. It doesn't represent an interest in any financial income stream, nor does it give you rights over any tangible asset like property. Instead, its value is derived simply from Bitcoin being Bitcoin. This is nothing new. Gold is very similar. Just 10% of all the gold that has been mined is used for industrial or technological purposes. The rest is largely dominated by jewelry and financial investments. Investors hold gold not because it will produce more gold, but because it has long been recognized as a safe haven asset for investors. Like fiat money itself, gold retains its value simply because everyone agrees that it's valuable. Right now, markets agree that both BTC and SHIB have value, as evidenced by their multi-billion and multi-trillion-dollar market caps. But which crypto asset will retain its value most over the long term? My bet is with the biggest: Bitcoin. As the first crypto asset, Bitcoin has a reputational advantage that can never be surpassed. Plus, its existing buy-in among both retail and institutional investors is unrivaled. So while Shiba Inu can be a fun place to park some extra cash for entertainment purposes only, Bitcoin is far more similar to gold at this point. That makes it a superior holding for long-term investors.

Prediction: Shiba Inu Will Be Worth This Much in 5 Years
Shiba Inu delivered incredible returns to early investors, but it doesn't offer much utility. Although meme coins can be fun, they usually don't make good long-term investments. I expect Shiba Inu to lose another 25% to 50% during the next five years. 10 stocks we like better than Shiba Inu › You won't find many investments with more early success than Shiba Inu (CRYPTO: SHIB). During 2020 and 2021, it gained more than 17,000,000%. The lucky few who got in (and out) at the right time are set for life. Since then, Shiba Inu has mostly lost value, outside of a few smaller bull runs. The current price is $0.000011 as of June 20, down 87% from the all-time high in 2021 and 45% on the year. At that price, $100 is enough to buy well over 8 million of the tokens. Several popular cryptocurrencies have done well over the last year, including Bitcoin (up 59%), XRP (up 343%), and Cardano (up 57%). And investors are excited about the future, considering the Trump administration has been crypto-friendly so far. Could it be Shiba Inu's turn to go on a run? Anything's possible, but I would be cautious about investing in this meme coin. Meme coins normally aren't intended to solve real problems or create lasting value. People create them for fun or to hopefully strike it rich. That was the case with Shiba Inu, which started as a joke. It didn't have a white paper; it had a "woof paper" with quotes from Miyamoto Musashi, a 17th-century Japanese swordsman. The anonymous founder, Ryoshi, even sent about half of the total token supply to Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH) co-founder Vitalik Buterin in 2021 as a publicity stunt. From the beginning, Shiba Inu wasn't a serious project. It does have some use cases, in all fairness. The team behind it has built a Shiba Inu ecosystem with decentralized finance (DeFi) applications, including a decentralized exchange, ShibaSwap. But hardly anyone is using this blockchain ecosystem. The total value locked (TVL) on Shibarium, Shiba Inu's blockchain, is $2 million as of June 20. TVL is the amount of funds deposited onto a blockchain, so it's a good measure of a blockchain's popularity. Ethereum, the current king of DeFi, has $62.6 billion in TVL. Shiba Inu doesn't even crack the top 100 cryptocurrencies by this metric. Shiba Inu's lack of utility means there isn't much of a reason to buy it except in hopes that the price will go up. It's rare to see meme coins come anywhere close to their initial success. The novelty simply wears off. People want to buy the next Shiba Inu or Dogecoin, not the old version that has already had its moment. Shiba Inu appears to be at that stage. The number of daily active addresses has been declining and is in the 3,000 to 4,000 range this month, according to Santiment. In other words, a few thousand wallets per day are using Shiba Inu. At its peak in 2021, it had over 60,000 daily active addresses. The humorous nature of meme coins can also impede growth. Some retail investors may put in $10 to $100 for fun, but few will risk a sizable investment, and institutional money probably isn't going to start pouring into Shiba Inu. My prediction for Shiba Inu is that it will lose 25% to 50% of its value over the next five years. That would put its price between $0.000006 and $0.000009. Shiba Inu is highly volatile, and it could have periods where it does well. I don't think it will have a straight, steady decline. It will have some ups and some downs, but ultimately be a losing investment for those who buy and hold. This is still one of the largest cryptocurrencies in the world, and it has passionate supporters. It probably won't fall off the map completely. But as the highs get further in the rearview mirror, fewer and fewer people will buy Shiba Inu.
