Agree with you there,, the field is flooded with coins slowing the pace of many OG coins now. The ETF will happen, but not without turbulence --they will spin it both ways in the media to control the price of BTC up/down, etc. until all pans out as planned.
SHIB being such a huge player --MC, popularity, and so on-- will have a series of catalysts (accelerated token burn(s), sensational news, etc.) that will drive the price up sooner than people believe. We'll see,, going to get interesting in 24'
