The world of memecoins is usually ruled by Shiba Inu (SHIB) and Dogecoin (DOGE), as many copycat projects fail to take off because of the strong competition. However, SHIB came across an unusual competitor in the #167 ranked memecurrency, Baby Doge Coin (BABYDOGE), with the help of the popular cryptocurrency exchange StealthEX.

The Cayman Islands-based cryptocurrency exchange asked: “Who’s more active – @Shibtoken or @BabyDogeCoin?” Thus, the SHIB Army and BabyDogeArmy have been invited to vote and compete for a giveaway in their favorite memecurrency. As the preliminary results suggest, the competition is tense, with less than a 7% difference between the camps.

To the shock of many crypto enthusiasts, the BABYDOGE community is leading the race with 53.3% at the time of this publication. As 3,062 crypto enthusiasts had already cast their votes, the SHIB community, popularly known as the SHIB Army, is trailing with just 46.7% of the cake. Interestingly, SHIB‘s official Twitter account has twice as many followers as the younger rival project.

Despite the ongoing poll results, the current Crypto Twitter trends suggest a different situation. The hashtags #Shibarium and #ShibaArmy were trending simultaneously on Monday morning.
