Dogecoin (DOGE) and Shiba Inu (SHIB), popular meme coins in the cryptocurrency market, are at a critical point, as the year unfolds. With their quick rise driven by strong community support and social media buzz, these altcoins have gained the attention of traders. But now, with changes in the market and more rivals showing up, people wonder how they’ll do in the coming year. To get a clearer picture, DeepSeek AI, a smart prediction tool, has looked into where DOGE and SHIB are headed. It gives us a peek at whether these dog-themed digital coins might have a tough time in 2025. DeepSeek AI Analyzes DOGE and SHIB’s History Dogecoin emerged in 2013 to poke fun at Bitcoin, while Shiba Inu came along in 2020 calling itself the “Dogecoin killer.” One common thing is that these two meme coins depend on community hype for them to be successful, rather than on real use case. Back in 2021 when they went viral, Dogecoin price reached an all-time high of $0.74 , while SHIB responded by reaching $0.00008. These big spikes happened because the coins went viral, with celebs like Elon Musk hyping them up. But by March 10, 2025, both coins seem to be struggling. DOGE is trading around $0.26 down from its late 2024 high, while Shiba Inu price is stuck below $0.00002 finding it hard to get back to where it once was. DeepSeek AI’s study suggests several challenges for 2025. First, the wider crypto market is growing up, with investors now preferring projects that have real-world applications over coins driven by internet jokes. Second new meme-based cryptocurrencies like Bonk (BONK) and Pepecoin (PEPE) are popping up, which could eat into the market share of DOGE and SHIB weakening their hold on the market. Third big-picture economic issues—like possible increases in interest rates or stricter rules—might cool down risky investments, a group that includes a lot of these internet joke-inspired coins. While DOGE’s community remains vocal, with the meme coin showing resilience and potential Dogecoin ETF discussions, DeepSeek cautions that without a significant catalyst, DOGE could see a decline to $0.17 or lower if market sentiment sours. SHIB, meanwhile, relies heavily on its token burn strategy to boost scarcity, but analysts question whether this will suffice to counter waning hype. DOGE AND SHIB 1-year growth chart A Mixed Outlook for 2025 DeepSeek AI’s projections for DOGE and SHIB in 2025 reflect cautious optimism tempered by realism. For Dogecoin, a bullish scenario hinges on renewed adoption—perhaps through merchant acceptance or a successful ETF filing—potentially pushing it toward $0.75 or even $1. However, absence of such developments, paints a bearish case seeing it languishing below $0.20. Shiba Inu faces a similar fork: its burn rate, which surged 2532.14% in early 2025 per , could drive prices to $0.000026-$0.000028 if momentum holds. However, some analysts suggests it it may struggle to break $0.00003 without broader market support. Both tokens remain vulnerable to volatility, with their fates tied more to sentiment than fundamentals—a precarious position as 2025 unfolds. DeepSeek AI Reveals Rexas Finance as a Promising Alternative Emerges With Dogecoin and Shiba Inu struggling in 2025, DeepSeek AI has come across a more promising alternative- Rexas Finance (RXS) . This is a high-potential cryptocurrency asset meant to transform the real-world asset (RWA) industry. With the last presale stage 90.81% filled, Rexas Finance’s presale has been successful, having raised $46,811,618 with 454,055,799 RXS tokens sold. Those with a preference for early-stage cryptocurrencies have the opportunity of having a share of the pie by taking advantage of the presale price of $0.20, expected to be launched at $0.25 on June 19, 2025. RXS has jumped over 560% in value since its first presale stage. Analysts estimate it could reach the $10 level in 2025, a further 5000% increase from its current price. This growth potential makes it one of the best new cryptocurrencies to invest in this year. Rexas Finance Tokenomics Unlike DOGE and SHIB, which mostly rely on community-driven hype, Rexas Finance provides a clear use case by allowing asset tokenization in conventional finance. This will enable people and businesses to digitize and sell actual assets like intellectual property and real estate on the blockchain, creating fresh wealth-generating possibilities. One of the most respectable blockchain security firms, Certik, has completely audited Rexas Finance, ensuring transparency and investor confidence. Its presence on major crypto data sites such as CoinMarketCap and CoinGecko has raised awareness and drawn even more attention from institutional and personal investors. Given its quick acceptance, creative use case, and strong investor backing, Rexas Finance (RXS) is poised to be among the best-performing cryptocurrencies in 2025. While Dogecoin and Shiba Inu encounter growing challenges, the RWA token has the foundations to explode over $10 and provide investors with life-changing gains. Conclusion: A Tale of Two Paths DeepSeek AI’s analysis paints a nuanced picture for DOGE and SHIB in 2025. While both retain loyal communities and the potential for short-term spikes—perhaps fueled by a tweet or market upswing—their long-term outlook remains clouded by reliance on hype and competition from newer tokens. Conversely, Rexas Finance emerges as a beacon of innovation, offering a fundamentally sound alternative with explosive growth potential. As the crypto market evolves, 2025 could indeed be a rough year for DOGE and SHIB unless they adapt, while RXS stands poised to redefine investor expectations with its real-world utility and robust fundamentals. For those navigating this uncertain terrain, diversification across these contrasting narratives may prove the wisest course. The post Will 2025 Be a Tough Year for DOGE and SHIB?

An unknown attacker prompted Ethereum developers to roll out a “private fix” as the network grappled with technical issues during the Pectra upgrade on the Sepolia testnet. In a post-incident report , Ethereum developer Marius van der Wijden revealed that the attacker exploited an overlooked “edge case,” repeatedly triggering errors by sending zero-token transfers to the deposit contract, further complicating an already troubled rollout. What happened? On March 5, the Pectra upgrade went live on Sepolia, but almost immediately, developers started seeing error messages popping up on their geth nodes, alongside an increase in empty blocks being mined. According to van der Wijden, the issue stemmed from the deposit contract emitting an unexpected event—a transfer event instead of the required deposit event—which caused nodes to reject transactions and produce only empty blocks. The bug was linked to EIP-6110, which required all logs from the deposit contract to be processed uniformly. The geth team rolled out a fix that would “ignore all erroneous logs coming from the deposit contract,” but developers reportedly overlooked a specific edge case in the ERC-20 standard. “The ERC20 standard does not forbid 0 token transfer, this allows anyone (even if they don’t own any token) to transfer 0 tokens to another address which will emit an event,” van der Wijden explained, adding that an “attacker” took advantage of this by repeatedly sending zero-token transfers to the deposit contract. This triggered the same error and caused the network to continue mining empty blocks.

To stop the attack, developers needed to filter out transactions interacting with the deposit contract. However, they suspected that the attacker was monitoring their chats, which prompted them to roll out a “private fix” to select DevOps nodes controlling about 10% of the network. Once the fix was deployed, nodes resumed producing full blocks, allowing the chain to function normally by 14:00 UTC. A few blocks later, the attacker’s transaction was successfully mined, confirming that all node operators had updated. Despite the disruptions, Ethereum “never lost finalization”, and the issue was limited to Sepolia, as its token-gated deposit contract differed from the Ethereum mainnet deposit contract, according to van der Wijden. Nevertheless, developers have decided to delay the Pectra upgrade for further testing and debugging. What is Ethereum’s Pectra upgrade? The Pectra fork is designed to enhance ETH staking, improve layer 2 scalability, and expand network capacity. It introduces 11 Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIPs) and marks the first major upgrade since Dencun , which went live in March 2024. As previously reported by crypto.news, developers planned to deploy Pectra on the mainnet by April 8, provided that both the Holesky and Sepolia testnets successfully completed their upgrades. The upgrade was first implemented on the Holesky testnet on February 24, where it also ran into technical issues that prevented finalization.

Some industry watchers say political donations are necessary for the emergence of more regulatory clarity around cryptocurrencies.
Bitcoin’s price tumbled 11% over the weekend following Trump’s executive order to use seized BTC for reserves, while broader macroeconomic pressures and bearish technical signals point to further downside. On March 7, Donald Trump signed an executive order to use Bitcoin ( BTC ) seized from criminal cases for the strategic reserve rather than buying it from the market. The announcement triggered a drop in Bitcoin’s price, which opened strong at $90,000 on March 7 but has shaved around 11% of its value over the weekend, closing at just $80,751 on March 9, according to CoinGecko . However, it has since recovered to over $82,000, currently trading for $82,154, down by 4% over the past 24 hours. This market reaction was likely due to unrealistic expectations as many expected the government would buy BTC, injecting more money in the market. That being said, the order didn’t completely rule out future Bitcoin purchases, but they would need to be “budget-neutral,” without burden to tax payers. You might also like: Trump signs executive order establishing a US Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Beyond the reserve-related disappointments, the Bitcoin price continues to be pressured by macro concerns, mainly related to tariffs . Specifically, the trade war between the U.S. and China is intensifying, with Beijing imposing tariffs on certain U.S. agricultural goods as a retaliation to Trump’s recent increase in Chinese import duties. Additionally, Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell confirmed on Friday that the central bank will keep a wait-and-see approach to interest rates . This came after a weak U.S. nonfarm payrolls report and expectations of at least three Fed rate cuts this year. On the technical side, chart analyst Peter Brandt highlighted that the Bitcoin price completed a double top pattern, with peaks at around $108,100. After peaking, it broke down below key support (previous range) near 95,321–96,659. After the breakdown, the price formed a bearish pennant (a consolidation pattern), which retested the breakdown zone around 95,321–96,659) but failed to reclaim it. The pennant has completed, and price broke lower, signaling further downside. Support at 81,513 is now the critical level. If broken, further decline will likely follow. Source: X post by Peter Brandt If the price falls below this level, it could cause around $1.3 billion in leveraged long liquidations, according to Coinglass data . Such a massive wipeout will undoubtedly cause strong downward pressure on the price. Source: Coinglass Arthur Hayes’s recent analysis may offer insight into what could happen next. In his recent post on X, he said that Bitcoin is likely to retest the $78k level, and if that fails to hold, $75k could be the next target. He added that, a lot of investors have placed options bets around the $70,000-$75,000 price range. “If we get into that range it will be violent,” he remarked. An ugly start to the week. Looks like $BTC will retest $78k. If it fails, $75k is next in the crosshairs. There are a lot of options OI struck $70-$75k, if we get into that range it will be violent. pic.twitter.com/q4cq0rthGJ — Arthur Hayes (@CryptoHayes) March 9, 2025 The Silver Lining On the bright side, some experts believe that the Bitcoin reserve news is bullish in the long term and that the market’s reaction to the news of it consisting of forfeited BTC (at least in the near future) was the result of inflated expectations. As Matt Hougan, a chief investment officer at Bitwise Asset Management, told CNBC ”The market is short-term disappointed” that the government didn’t say it was immediately going to start acquiring 100,000 or 200,000 bitcoin, he added. Hougan pointed to AI Czar David Sacks’s statement on X , which said that the U.S. would look for “budget-neutral strategies for acquiring additional bitcoin, provided that those strategies have no incremental costs on American taxpayers.” Just a few minutes ago, President Trump signed an Executive Order to establish a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. The Reserve will be capitalized with Bitcoin owned by the federal government that was forfeited as part of criminal or civil asset forfeiture proceedings. This means it… — David Sacks (@davidsacks47) March 7, 2025 Another positive development (albeit minor compared to the macro headwinds) is that wallets holding over Bitcoin have cumulatively accumulated almost 5000 BCT since March 3, according to Santiment . Although the prices have not yet reflected this, if whales continue to accumulate, the second half of March may be better than the “bloodbath” that market has seen since BTC reached its new $100K peak 7 weeks ago, Santiment analysts said.

The highly anticipated White House Crypto Summit flopped as retail investors, tired of Trump-related events, seemingly expected a market rally that didn’t happen. The White House Crypto Summit and the U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve seem to have failed to meet retail investors’ high expectations, leaving them frustrated as U.S. President Donald Trump -related activities sparked no market rally, analysts say. https://twitter.com/Matrixport_EN/status/1899010242257859067/ In a March 10 post on X, analysts at Matrixport said retail investors aren’t showing much interest, with perpetual futures funding rates staying low in single digits. The current sentiment demonstrates “start contrast” compared to the high rates seen in April and December 2024, they added. “Even the momentum surrounding Trump’s inauguration was relatively muted-a clear signal that Bitcoin’s next leg higher will require a more significant catalyst.” Markus Thielen, independent analyst You might also like: Trump-backed World Liberty Financial’s portfolio down $110M in unrealized losses Bybit’s analytics report done with Block Scholes also noted that while spot prices of certain cryptocurrencies went up after Trump’s announcement of a crypto strategic reserve, funding rates have stayed stable and haven’t reached extreme levels, clearly signaling that the market “needs a stronger boost than Trump’s Crypto strategic reserve.” As crypto.news pointed out earlier, there was a risk that Bitcoin ( BTC ) and other cryptocurrencies could drop after the summit, as the event might follow the common “buy the rumor, sell the news” strategy. In this approach, speculators typically buy an asset leading up to a big event and then sell once it happens. A good example of this was Donald Trump’s 2024 U.S. presidential victory, when cryptocurrencies surged but then lost those gains after his inauguration in January. Similarly, Ethereum’s ( ETH ) price rose ahead of spot exchange-traded fund approvals in September last year, only to drop afterward.

The post Dogecoin Big Move Incoming? Whale Adds 1.7 Billion DOGE appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News Amid ongoing market uncertainty, the largest Dogecoin (DOGE) whale has begun showing interest and making a big move. On March 10, 2024, a prominent crypto analyst shared a post on X (formerly Twitter), revealing that the largest DOGE whale has accumulated a significant 1.7 billion meme coins over the past three days. Dogecoin Whale Eyes on Big Rally This substantial accumulation by the largest whale was observed when the price of DOGE had fallen significantly, reaching a crucial support level. It also appears that a big move is on the verge of occurring. Following this massive accumulation, the meme coin has once again regained its crucial level and is showing signs of a further price jump. Current Price Momentum DOGE is currently trading near $0.174 and has recorded an 8% price drop in the past 24 hours. During the same period, its trading volume surged by 150%, indicating increased participation from traders and investors as the price reached a crucial support level. Dogecoin (DOGE) Technical Analysis and Upcoming Levels According to expert technical analysis, DOGE remains in a bullish condition and is near the crucial $0.18 level, which has a history of strong price reversals. Based on recent price action and historical patterns, if the meme coin holds this $0.18 level, there is a strong possibility that it could soar by 36% to reach $0.24 in the coming days. Source: Trading View Despite the ongoing price recovery, DOGE’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) remains low at 33, indicating that the asset lacks the strength to surge. However, if sentiment improves and accumulation continues, its strength could recover soon. $63 Million Worth of DOGE Outflow Besides the massive accumulation by the largest whale, data from Coinglass reveals that investors and long-term holders have moved $63 million worth of DOGE from exchanges in the past 24 hours, indicating potential accumulation. Source: Coinglass When accumulation and outflows from exchanges begin to occur, it potentially signals a price increase rather than a decline.
