- SHIB launches Shiba Alpha Layer and TREAT token, enhancing DeFi, gaming, and AI development on the Shibarium chain.
- SHIB holds near 0.00001200 support with weak RSI at 40.90; a drop may lead to 0.00000900, while a rebound targets 0.00002000.
- TON trades below $3.00 with RSI at 42.72 and bearish MACD; risk of further decline unless $3.30–$3.50 is reclaimed.
Shiba Inu (SHIB) and Toncoin (TON) continue to rise in position in the global crypto market cap rankings. At the time of writing, SHIB ranks 19th with a $7.14 billion market cap, while TON holds 18th with $7.4 billion.
Despite TON’s lead, recent technical weakness and SHIB’s new development update are reshaping the competitive market. SHIB’s team recently launched the Shiba Alpha Layer, a new developer platform on Shibarium, aiming to simplify and accelerate blockchain rollup deployment.
SHIB Launches Alpha Layer, Introduces TREAT Utility Token
Shiba Inu’s development team unveiled the Shiba Alpha Layer, a rollup deployment framework designed for Web3 builders. This platform allows developers to create RollApps made for DeFi, gaming, NFTs, or AI. The setup process requires a simple configuration, selection of a testnet or mainnet, and immediate launch.
All RollApps settle on Shibarium’s main chain, offering both security and scalability. The ecosystem uses TREAT as the utility token. TREAT must be staked to activate rollups and can be unstaked when paused or terminated.
The Alpha Layer addresses long-standing developer challenges such as slow confirmation times and high costs. The system includes Instant Confirmations and Liquidity Fusion. These allow transactions to process faster while freeing liquidity from isolated pools. Furthermore, RollApps can customize gas fee models, integrate data tools, and define their operational rules.
NFT creators and game developers benefit from fast, low-cost environments. TREAT also serves as the gas token, eliminating the need for bridges. The framework supports seamless and efficient on-chain interaction, especially useful for AI-based decentralized applications.
SHIB Technical Setup
SHIB’s price has remained under pressure after peaking at 0.00005500 in early 2024. Since then, the token entered a consistent downtrend. At press time, SHIB was trading at 0.00001211, close to historical support levels last seen before the 2024 breakout.
Recent volume has declined from early-year highs, suggesting reduced enthusiasm. The current volume is at 12.21 trillion SHIB, suggesting moderate interest but limited momentum. Technical indicators show a similar outlook.
The RSI is at 40.90, slightly below the moving average of 41.63, showing weak buyer strength. MACD metrics indicate sluggish bullish activity, with the MACD line at 0.00000008 and the signal line still negative.
A breakdown below the 0.00001200 level may lead to a revisit 0.00000900. However, any bounce could retest resistance around 0.00001700 to 0.00002000.
TON Price Slips Below Support
Toncoin has also struggled throughout 2025, dropping from nearly $6 to below $3. In recent months, the asset attempted to consolidate between $3.00 and $3.50. However, it failed to hold resistance near $3.70, leading to renewed downward pressure.
Currently, TON trades slightly below its psychological support of $3.00. Without recovery, it risks falling toward $2.50, a lower support zone. Volume is at 1.3 million TON, a muted figure that confirms low investor activity.
The RSI is at 42.72, underperforming its moving average of 50.33, suggesting declining strength. The MACD line is at -0.018, below the signal at -0.011. The negative histogram indicates increasing bearish sentiment with no near-term sign of reversal.
For any bullish outlook to emerge, TON must reclaim levels between $3.30 and $3.50 with volume confirmation.
Price Outlook for SHIB and TON
If SHIB breaks below its current support at 0.00001200, prices could decline toward 0.00000900. A recovery may push it to 0.00001700 or 0.00002000. For TON, continued trading under $3.00 may lead to a drop to $2.50. Reclaiming $3.30–$3.50 remains essential for any upside movement.
SHIB’s Ecosystem Adds Pressure on TON’s Weak Structure
With SHIB expanding its development stack and introducing the TREAT utility token, the project is building utility around its ecosystem. TON, on the other hand, continues to show declining momentum and weakening technical strength.
The launch of the Shiba Alpha Layer introduces fresh potential catalysts at a time when both tokens are testing support zones. As SHIB builds technical tools and TON struggles with resistance, it remains to be seen if SHIB’s market cap flips TON’s.
