Shiba Inu

<p>The original meme cryptocurrency, Dogecoin, has made hints about its potential to enter the gaming sector. Jordan Jefferson, the CEO and co-founder of MyDoge, made this announcement when DOGE price was struggling to recover traction.</p> 
<p>The performance of the token on the market is still being pressured, despite the excitement surrounding this possible new endeavor. In the last week, Dogecoin’s price dropped by 6.2%, and in the last month, it dropped by 3.2%.</p> 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-dogecoin-s-gaming-ambitions"><strong>Dogecoin’s Gaming Ambitions</strong></h2> 
<p>Jordan Jefferson took to x (formerly Twitter) to&nbsp;<a href="https://x.com/MyDogeCEO/status/1821628145100878052">reveal</a>&nbsp;that “gaming on Dogecoin is coming.” This announcement was accompanied by a brief video clip featuring Shiba Inu characters bowing to a statue of a warrior-like dog—hinting at a potential Dogecoin-themed game.</p> 
<p>Not everyone in the crypto space was impressed. Shytoshi Kusama, the enigmatic leader of the Shiba Inu project, responded to the announcement with a lighthearted jab. Referencing Shiba Inu’s gaming efforts, Kusama tweeted, “Laughs in Shiba Eternity.” He suggested that Shiba Inu’s progress in the gaming space is far ahead of Dogecoin.</p>

<p>In October 2022, Shiba Inu made its official debut in the gaming world with&nbsp;<a href="https://www.thecoinrepublic.com/2022/10/08/the-new-launch-of-the-masterpiece-shiba-eternity-brought-profits-to-shiba-inu/">the release of “Shiba Eternity,”</a>&nbsp;a mobile game that players quickly took to. The game has had several changes since it first came out. Currently, the Shiba Inu team is working on a blockchain version of the game, which is being tested in a closed beta.</p> 
<p>This version, set to launch on the Shibarium mainnet, will allow players to earn rewards through gameplay, further solidifying Shiba Inu’s position in the gaming sector.</p> 
<p>The rivalry between&nbsp;<a href="https://www.thecoinrepublic.com/2024/07/30/shiba-inu-moves-beyond-meme-status-what-next-for-shib-price/">Dogecoin and Shiba Inu</a>&nbsp;is nothing new. Both projects have fiercely loyal communities, and comparisons between the two are often drawn, especially when it comes to innovation and market performance.</p> 
<p>Kusama has said many times over the past few years that he thinks SHIB will eventually be more valuable than Dogecoin.</p> 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-doge-price-struggles-amid-bearish-pressure"><strong>DOGE Price Struggles Amid Bearish Pressure</strong></h2> 
<p>Despite the excitement surrounding Dogecoin’s gaming ambitions, the token’s price has struggled to gain upward momentum.</p> 
<p>Following a nearly 1% drop on August 10, DOGE briefly attempted a recovery, but the rally was short-lived. As of now, DOGE’s price is hovering around the $0.10 mark, facing strong resistance at the 20-day EMA, currently near $0.11.</p> 
<p>The broader market sentiment for Dogecoin remains mixed. While some analysts predict that DOGE could surge to $2.55 by 2025, the short-term outlook appears challenging. Recent&nbsp;<a href="https://www.coinglass.com/currencies/DOGE">data</a>&nbsp;shows a decline in Dogecoin’s futures open interest and a negative OI-weighted funding rate, indicating bearish sentiment among futures traders.</p>

<p>Many DOGE holders are still optimistic about the token’s long-term prospects, even though there are problems right now. According to CoinGlass data, 68% of Dogecoin holders are still making money, and 67% have held on to their assets for more than a year.</p>
