Dogecoin and Shiba Inu are undoubtedly the most popular meme cryptocurrency in the market, seeing tremendous growth both have experienced over the years.
Dogecoin, a meme-inspired cryptocurrency, reached a new high of approximately 73 cents.
Dogecoin has become one of the most talked-about cryptocurrencies, with its price up over 12,000 percent last year, attracting famous personalities like Elon Musk to talk and tweet about it.
Google searches such as “Is dogecoin the new bitcoin?” were even trending.
Shiba Inu was first released in August of 2020. The meme coin (DOGE) is a parody of the dogecoin (DOGE) meme and was later termed “Dogecoin-Killer.”
When the Shiba token rose 2,405 percent in three days to $0.000039 on May 10, 2021, it drew the attention of investors. Over the summer, the token struggled to reclaim ground, but on October 28, it hit an all-time high of $0.00008845.
However, Dogecoin and Shiba Inu have been caught up with the bearish wind all around the entire Cryptocurrency as both assets plummeted to $0.08 and $0.00001, respectively. Since then, the teams have been launching multiple ways to bring back the glory days of these dog-themed Cryptocurrencies.

Dogecoin Adoption
Dogecoin has been involved with multiple adoptions from companies, Accepting the meme cryptocurrency as a form of payment.
The prominent one is Elon’s Tesla and SpaceX. Elon Musk had announced that his aerospace company, SpaceX, would soon accept Dogecoin as a payment, joining Tesla.
