Shiba Inu (SHIB) and Dogecoin (DOGE) are the most significant and known meme coins. However, DOGE has the advantage of entering the scene first. DOGE debuted in 2013, almost 11 years ago, while SHIB entered the ring in 2020, about three-and-a-half years ago. However, SHIB has made quite an impression in its short history. However, given the latest correction, SHIB might not overtake DOGE yet. With that said, Shiba Inu (SHIB) could flip Dogecoin (DOGE) sometime later in the year.
Dogecoin (DOGE) might be a part of X’s upcoming payment feature. If so, the asset might see a sudden spike in value. On the other hand, Shiba Inu (SHIB) is working on a new burn mechanism, rumored to burn trillions of tokens yearly. Both developments could significantly push the asset’s prices.
