Shiba Inu and Dogecoin compete for meme coin market share

Shiba Inu and Dogecoin are neck and neck in the meme coin market, competing for a higher share. Proponents noted Shiba Inu recently surpassed Dogecoin’s market capitalization, flipping DOGE momentarily. 

This event has fueled a bullish narrative among investors. Shiba Inu has surpassed Dogecoin’s market capitalization in the past, triggering a price rally in the meme coin. Proponents have identified another critical catalyst for Shiba Inu’s price rally. 

The burger joint Welly rebranded itself to accept Shiba Inu as payment has announced that the community will have a stake in its business. Welly announced that the community would be entitled to a portion of profits from all activities. The community can then decide whether to burn Shiba Inu tokens or use them for some other purpose. 

Holders of Shiba Inu would manage their tokens with the help of BONE DAO. Analysts have evaluated the Shiba Inu price trend and predicted a continuation of the consolidation. Valeria Blokhina, a crypto analyst and trader, noted that Shiba Inu price has consolidated within a triangle for some time now. The meme coin could continue before a breakout. 

Additionally, Welly has partnered with crypto payments company NOWPayments, planning to burn a certain percentage of their revenue in SHIB tokens. @AltcoinSherpa, a pseudonymous crypto analyst and trader, does not recommend buying Shiba Inu.
