Will Pepe Coin (PEPE) Overtake Shiba Inu (SHIB) in Market Cap? Experts Believe This Crypto Will Beat Both

Source Cryptopolitan

Even as Shiba Inu (SHIB) has been embroiled with dilemma such as network congestion and soaring transaction fees, the project has failed to shake off the market status quandary. The erosion of investor confidence is reflected by data from Coincodex, predicting the price of Shiba Inu will drop 1.83% to $0.00001188 by April 12. 

Meanwhile, Pepe Coin (PEPE) hovers around the $0.00000666 mark, logging an initial 2% weekly dip but may rise 225% if early buyer interest returns. But analysts highlight a third contender: Mutuum Finance (MUTM). Having raised $4 million with 6,100 holders on board as it approaches Phase 3 of the presale (0.02), some experts claim MUTM’s structured lending model and buy-pressure mechanics could render both memecoins into the dust.

From Bad to Worse for Shiba Inu

Shiba Inu’s problems arise through a saturated network. Increasing transaction costs and slower processing times have caused investor nervousness, with many doubting its long-term sustainability. Such hypothetical token utility on speculative trading will be insufficient to sustain the token as a project in its own right, exposing it to rogue market shifts. 

A recent group of posts across forums reflect growing skepticism, with holders wondering if upgrades can ever turn it around. SHIB will likely fall further if no such improvements are seen, creating space for tokens providing the real deal.

The Uncertain Experiment of Pepe Coin

Volatility Lies Behind Pepe Coin’s Recent Stability And while technical charts suggest it has solid support, its 2% dip for the week highlights how fragile things are. Prospects of a 225% boom to $0.00002248 depend on renewed buyer interest — a leap of faith in a risk-averse world. 

Even if PEPE’s community continues to operate with optimism, its reliance on excitement over utility makes it vulnerable. Analysts say that even a rebound may only be of limited duration without any innovative use cases, putting investors to work on projects with clearer road maps.

The Presale Run of Mutuum Finance

Mutuum Finance (MUTM) is garnering attention for more than just speculative reasons. It has attracted 6,100 holders for Phase 3 of its presale, which now retails for $0.02, as it thus far confirmed $4 million in holdings before a $0.025 price point for Phase 4 — a 25% gain for existing investors. 

Tokenomics shows a launch price of $0.06 for a multiplied return of 200%, while post-listing targets near $3.50 imply a potential increase of 17400%. While PEPE or SHIB’s model is that users buy the coins, MUTM’s model combines decentralized lending, overcollateralized loans, and interest-accruing mtTokens, creating a system that supports passive income and ecosystem growth.

Built-In Demand Drivers

A buy-and-distribute mechanism powers the appeal of MUTM. Platform fees are recycled into token buybacks and redistributed to stakers, providing consistent utility and demand. This increases stability as opposed to memecoins who are prone to price swings without any added utility. Also, Mutuum Finance’s smart contract audit with Certik is close to finishing up, adding yet another layer of trust that will be confirmed once it is finalized. You’ll find updates on the official channels serving as a clarion call for awareness.

As Phase 3 speeds toward capacity, each passing moment brings the opportunity to lock in your investment at $0.02 closer to a close. Early investors secure a 200% launch day return and allow themselves to reap exponential rewards if price targets are achieved after listing. As presale phases are selling out sooner than expected, waiting could mean paying a higher entry price.

While SHIB and PEPE face uncertainty, MCP’s presale performance and real-world applications position it as a contender for a promising 2025. Investors looking for assets based on function — not passing moonshot fad — are looking here. The upcoming announcement on Certik audit could also fuel more interest which means acting now is of utmost importance.
