In recent months, the market value of the meme coin economy has fluctuated significantly, with Dogecoin (DOGE) and Shiba Inu (SHIB) experiencing fluctuations in value. Since their considerable price increase in 2020, investors and speculators in the cryptocurrency market have shown a growing interest in meme coin assets.

The meme coin economy is notoriously volatile, but DOGE and SHIB have dominated the meme coin market over the past two years. Although the value of meme coins like PEPE may fluctuate, their impact on the overall cryptocurrency market should not be underestimated.
