From being the market’s biggest bulls this time last week, meme coins Pepe (PEPE) and Shiba Inu (SHIB) have now turned into the market’s biggest bears.
Over the last seven days, both coins have plummeted in value, posting losses of over 20%, according to CoinGecko.
PEPE leads the fall with a 22% drop, currently changing hands at $0.00000111. SHIB’s intra-week decline is virtually no lighter. The Dogecoin contender crashed 21.6% to trade at $0.00000818 on Monday morning.
PEPE rallied hard a fortnight ago, adding $150 million to its market cap to hit 71st place on the biggest cryptocurrencies by market capitalization last Monday. All those gains have been virtually wiped out over the last seven days and it’s now sitting at 84th place, per CoinGecko.
Market leaders Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) have also fallen hard over the last week after news that Chinese property giant Evergrande had filed for Chapter 15 bankruptcy in a Manhattan court, likely pushing many investors to dump riskier assets like crypto and tech stocks.
Bitcoin dropped 11.4% over the week and currently trades for $26,012, while Ethereum lost 9.5% and trades at $1,674 at the time of writing.
SHIB’s underwhelming price performance may have been catalyzed by an underwhelming Shibarium launch. Shibarium is the Shiba Inu network’s layer-2 blockchain on Ethereum.
On Thursday, reports made the rounds over on crypto Twitter that some $1.7 million Ethereum that had been sent to Shibarium was unrecoverable.
On top of that, the Shibarium Remote Procedure Call (RPC), an interface for interactions with the network, doesn’t appear to be working.
The Shiba Inu (SHIB) ecosystem is gearing up for a major leap from its meme coin status via the launch of a new identity protocol and solidifying its status in the world of decentralized finance (DeFi). Today, it announced its work with its developer community to ensure that a Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) is prioritized and integrated into its protocols. This also includes SHIB’s upcoming layer-2 network Shibarium, so that users interacting with the Shiba Inu ecosystem can maintain complete con...
At the beginning of the month, SHIB’s consistent upward price movement was buoyed by news that the coin’s makers are attempting to shed the meme coin reputation and introduce a new identity protocol to all apps on the ecosystem for increased security and privacy.
However, it looks like last week’s slightly shambolic Shibarium launch has vastly checked the coin's advances.

Coinbase has now overtaken two of the world's largest securities exchanges in terms of transaction revenue, according to a crypto analyst from the private bank Coutts. The crypto exchange generated $5.75 billion in transaction revenue over the past 12 months, compared to just $4.54 billion for the Nasdaq, where many of the world’s most valuable companies, including Apple, Google, and Microsoft, are traded. Coinbase also surpassed the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong, the HKEX, which generated $2.67 b...
After several extended reviews since June this year, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has finally approved the first spot exchange-traded funds combining Bitcoin and Ethereum. The agency has authorized Nasdaq to list the Hashdex Nasdaq Crypto Index US ETF and the Cboe BZX Exchange to list the Franklin Crypto Index ETF, according to a filing released Thursday. "The proportion of bitcoin and ether to be held by each Trust will be based on free-float market capitalizations," the filing...
Dogecoin (DOGE) fell 12.4% in the past 24 hours as a broader market decline continues, triggered by the Federal Reserve's latest economic outlook. The meme coin has dropped to $0.31, while trading volume surged 67% to $10.25 billion as holders repositioned their bags. It's now down 35% from its 2024 high of $0.47. Despite the pullback, Dogecoin's market capitalization remains at $46.6 billion, maintaining its position as the seventh-largest crypto. Powell's hawkish comments about higher-than-exp...
