SHIB
is still well below its pre-2024 peak,
experts observe that its price
has been consolidating within the $0.0000078–$0.0000085 range, indicating a possible transition from panic selling to more cautious accumulation.

Interest in SHIB has also risen alongside the emergence of AlphaPepe (ALPE), a
BNB
Chain-based
meme
token that has drawn significant attention in late 2025. more than 3,700 holders, with over 100 new investors joining daily even as the broader market faces challenges. The project stands out for its instant token distribution, live staking, and a systematic weekly price increase. Security audits and locked liquidity have further enhanced credibility, while speculation about a possible Binance listing has fueled additional interest.
Market watchers characterize AlphaPepe
as a "high-beta supplement" to SHIB, providing early-stage opportunities without displacing SHIB’s role as a long-term staple in meme-coin portfolios.
The overall meme-coin sector has experienced varied momentum, with both SHIB and AlphaPepe benefiting from a market recovery.
SHIB's total market value
briefly climbed back above $5 billion on November 25, following a $200 million increase in 24 hours. At the same time, a 412% surge in market cap within an hour of its Binance Alpha debut, reaching $5.81 million. These developments reflect a wider pattern of investors seeking both established and up-and-coming meme-coin projects as
Bitcoin
(BTC) and other leading cryptocurrencies begin to show signs of recovery.
Bitcoin’s
recent golden cross event
on the four-hour chart—where the 23-day moving average overtakes the 50-day—has reignited speculation about the possibility of reaching $100,000. While SHIB’s short-term prospects depend on holding its support levels, broader factors such as potential U.S. Federal Reserve rate cuts and changing sentiment in the crypto space could serve as further catalysts.
Experts warn
, however, that SHIB’s future growth will rely on ongoing burn initiatives and the continued expansion of its ecosystem, including increased Shibarium transactions and dApp usage.
AlphaPepe’s rapid ascent also underscores evolving trends in the meme-coin arena, where projects with clear tokenomics and transparent operations are gaining favor. In contrast to many presales that postpone token distribution or lock liquidity, AlphaPepe’s immediate delivery and active reward pools have set it apart. This shift is similar to broader fintech advancements, such as
Polymarket's growth
into prediction markets, highlighting the industry’s increasing focus on data-driven management and real-time market feedback.
As SHIB finds its footing and AlphaPepe gathers pace, the meme-coin narrative is shifting from pure speculation to more organized participation. At present, SHIB’s technical stability and AlphaPepe’s early momentum point to a market in flux, where both established names and new entrants are competing for renewed crypto
enthusiasm
