Shiba Inu Stagnation Continues, Meanwhile Yeti Ouro Dominates Market With Viral P2E Game 

Source Cryptopolitan

Shiba Inu struggles in 2025 as its on-chain trading volume and transaction values hit multi-year lows. For long enough now, this has been occurring to SHIB, and investors now crave alternatives that can provide them with stable returns.

In the meantime, a new project called Yeti Ouro (YETIO) has raised over $3.42 million of new capital in its current presale as it goes in Stage 4 presale tomorrow. This shows a qualitative shift in investor demand for blockchain gaming projects that have obvious utility.

Therefore, let us see how projects such as Yeti Ouro are drawing investors in the same market where industry giants such as SHIB are failing:

SHIB’s Ongoing Stagnation: What’s Driving It

Shiba Inu has seen better days than this. As of the beginning of 2025, SHIB’s on-chain daily transactions hit rock bottom. But what actually caused this decline? Well, there are some major reasons:

Shibarium:

Introduced as a speedy, cost-effective Layer 2 solution, Shibarium promised to set network activity in motion. However, several rounds of tests were plagued with technical issues, infuriating developers and users. Consequently, fewer individuals are cross-bridging assets onto Shibarium, which slows down transfers overall.

Burn-Incentives Losing Interest:

Routine burn events previously burned billions of SHIB tokens, leaving space for optimism among holders that the supply would decrease. However, recent burn events were disappointing. Thus, the expected scarcity effect has not been experienced.

Competition from New Tokens:

With the release of hundreds of new altcoins, most of which have legitimate use cases, SHIB struggles to gain traction. Compared to DeFi or GameFi tokens, SHIB’s largest “utility” is social media hype, a magnet that can be easily lost when novelty fades.

In brief, Shiba Inu stagnation is not simply a price. It’s rather a disappearing narrative and broken technology promises. Shiba Inu price is currently at $0.00001251.

Yeti Ouro Raises $3.42 Million In Presale

Yeti Ouro is not another token – it’s attached to an actual game where you can race and earn money by playing games and competing in contests. Its presale has already crossed $3.42 million and has sold more than 221 million tokens. This shows the reality that investors don’t just desire memes. They desire some utility that can protect their investment even during bad times.

Additionally, unlike other projects that have an unlimited supply of tokens, Yeti Ouro limits its coins to 1 billion, meaning that each token can only increase as the game goes on.

Security is also a priority, so Yeti Ouro’s smart contracts were audited independently by SOLIDProof, one of the top blockchain auditors, so customers can be assured that their tokens are secure.

Yeti Go, Yeti Ouro’s flagship game, isn’t just played—it’s experienced. Crafted with the expertise of the legendary studio behind Call of Duty, Spider-Man, The Witcher, and Dead Space, this game blends striking visuals with a rich, cinematic atmosphere. But it’s the audio that takes it to the next level—engineered by pros who’ve worked with Grammy-nominated artists like Major Lazer, Vybz Kartel, and Kabaka Pyramid, the sound brings every moment to life. Scroll down to meet the lead character and dive into a world where fast-paced action and bold design collide in perfect rhythm.

You automatically get YETIO tokens when you win races in Yeti Go, and then you can stake them to win more or use them to purchase several in-game items.

This ‘earn and play’ cycle attracts users, creating real on-chain activity rather than buy and sell activity once. Gamers and influencers have already tested Yeti Go and have genuinely enjoyed the idea and the experience as a whole. This has created social hype, which no advertising would ever be able to do by itself.

Finally, the Yeti Ouro presale is limited in time, so you can still get in early before the price hike of the next round to $0.041, a 242% increase from the Stage 1 price, making early bird investors very happy. With its scarcity-driven supply and truly engaging racing experience, Yeti Ouro offers a no-hype, open-access gateway to crypto gaming that SHIB and other meme coins just can’t provide. The limited time Easter bonus of 30% on all token purchases has also been extended to the end of the day to coincide with the commencement of Stage 4 so now is a perfect time to consider investing in Yeti Ouro.

Bitcoin briefly loses 2025 gains as crypto plunges over the weekend.Bitcoin experienced a sharp decline this weekend, briefly erasing its 2025 gains and dipping below its year-opening value of $93,507. The cryptocurrency fell to a low of $93,029 on Sunday, representing a 25% drop from its all-time high in October. Although it has rebounded slightly to around $94,209, the pressures on the market remain significant. The downturn occurred despite the reopening of the U.S. government on Thursday, which many had hoped would provide essential support for crypto markets. This year initially appeared promising for cryptocurrencies, particularly after the inauguration of President Donald Trump, who has established the most pro-crypto administration thus far. However, ongoing political tensions—including Trump's tariff strategies and the recent government shutdown, lasting a historic 43 days—have contributed to several rapid price pullbacks for Bitcoin throughout the year. Market dynamics are also being influenced by Bitcoin whales—investors holding large amounts of Bitcoin—who have been offloading portions of their assets, consequently stalling price rallies even as positive regulatory developments emerge. Despite these sell-offs, analysts from Glassnode argue that this behavior aligns with typical patterns seen among long-term investors during the concluding stages of bull markets, suggesting it is not indicative of a mass exodus. Notably, Bitcoin is not alone in its struggles, as Ethereum and Solana have also recorded declines of 7.95% and 28.3%, respectively, since the start of the year, while numerous altcoins have faced even steeper losses. Looking ahead, questions linger regarding the viability of the four-year cycle thesis, particularly given the increasing institutional support and regulatory frameworks now in place in the crypto landscape. Matt Hougan, chief investment officer at Bitwise, remains optimistic, suggesting a potential Bitcoin resurgence in 2026 driven by the “debasement trade” thesis and a broader trend toward increased adoption of stablecoins, tokenization, and decentralized finance. Hougan emphasized the soundness of the underlying fundamentals, pointing to a positive outlook for the sector in the longer term.
