Shiba Inu (SHIB) and Dogecoin’s (DOGE) race to the moon may have been slowed down by the bears, but the two dog-themed cryptocurrencies remain optimistic about the future of their respective tokens, as revealed by CoinMarketCap’s ‘Estimate‘ Tool.
Shiba Inu (SHIB) Favored by ETH Whales
The SHIB Army has a lot to look forward to in Shibarium, ‘SHIB: The Metaverse’, and the near arrival of the big download day for ‘Shiba Eternity’. On October 6th, 2022, the official Shiba Inu (SHIB) digital card game will be available for download worldwide. The increased activity among Ethereum’s (ETH) top 100 whales indicate that the high anticipated upgrades have piqued interest among them, though the positive sentiment has yet to be reflected on the meme coin’s price.

Currently trading at $0.00001113 at the time of writing, Shiba Inu (SHIB) has hardly moved in the week, recording a gain of 1%. According to the 6,215 members of the Shib Army who voted on the poll, Shiba Inu’s (SHIB) price is expected to become $0.0000117 by October 31st, 2022. Ultimately, that represents a mere 5.13% uptrend, which illustrates that holders of Shiba Inu (SHIB) are more cautious about their beloved asset’s price than before.
The DOGE Army Shows Optimism
On the other hand, Dogecoin (DOGE) trades at $0.060193 at press time, according to CoinGecko. While 2% in the red for the last 7 days, Dogecoin is still up in value by 4.4% in 14 day terms. Moreover, the 1,124 members of the DOGE Army to vote in Dogecoin’s (DOGE) predictions expect the premier meme coin’s price to be $0.06492 at the end of October, 2022. The estimates represent a 7.94% increase, leaving it a long way from the moon, and the top dog coin still trails 92% from its all-time high (ATH) of $0.73, set over a year ago.
