Shiba Inu vs. Dogecoin: Battle of meme coins has been won by…
It is no secret that the crypto market was taken aback after the 19 August sell-off. Market skeptics continue to warn about the dire conditions in the macro scenario.
Among the losers of the sell-off are the prized meme tokens: Shiba Inu and Dogecoin. Both the tokens were enjoying their respective bullish activity until the crash.
Interestingly, at press time, DOGE continued to tread above its competitor on the crypto ranking charts. According to CoinMarketCap, Dogecoin, at the time of writing, ranked at the tenth spot by market cap.
However, Shiba Inu lost its place in the rankings and fell further down in the pecking order. At press time, it occupied the fourteenth spot after dropping two places below over the weekend.
Interestingly enough, Dogecoin, at press time, was trading at $0.061 after taking a 3.54% hit over the past day and further going down 7.09% over the week.
On the other hand, Shiba Inu was not much better either as it traded at $0.00001193 after going down 3.25% in the past 24 hours of press time. The SHIB token also slid by more than 7% in the past week, according to CoinMarketCap.
With the falling prices, trader profitability has also gone under in light of Friday’s (19 August) events. As per Santiment, both DOGE and SHIB traders are holding losses but the latter is marginally performing better on the MVRV chart.
At this time of writing, the MVRV ratio (30d) for Shiba Inu stood at -11.81% while Doge’s MVRV value rested at -17.32%.
