There’s a familiar buzz in the air: Could Dogecoin hit $0.50 before 2026? For many retail traders, the answer is an enthusiastic “yes.” But if you step back and look across the altcoin landscape, that number starts to look ambitious, especially when other tokens are quietly plotting moves that could dwarf mere half-dollar dreams.
Let’s bring three other names into the conversation: Filecoin (FIL), NEAR Protocol (NEAR), and a lesser-discussed contender, Remittix (RTX). While DOGE holds the spotlight, these coins could be positioning for a very different type of breakout.
Dogecoin is still the meme coin with the biggest spotlight. The community is alive, social media is abuzz, and some price models are floating the idea of a move toward $0.50 if macro liquidity returns and retail hype reignites.
But here’s where things get tricky: On-chain data show weaker large-transaction activity than previous cycles, and there’s less new fundamental innovation behind DOGE compared to its high-flying past. Without a clear catalyst beyond nostalgia, the stretch to $0.50 may hinge more on sentiment than substance, which means the risk is higher than many expect.
Filecoin hasn’t been as flashy as the meme coins, but if you believe the future is about data, storage and AI-enabled infrastructure, FIL is suddenly interesting. The network is evolving beyond pure storage, with upgrades positioning it as a backbone for decentralized data marketplaces and compute tasks.
It’s still early days; FIL is priced in the low single digits, and the narrative hasn’t fully shifted. However, if that change occurs, the upside could be substantial. The potential for 10×-50× gains exists if Filecoin transitions into that “essential infrastructure” category.
Then there’s NEAR Protocol. It currently trades near $2-$3, but what distinguishes it is growing developer momentum, rising integrations, and partial institutional interest. NEAR is less about flash and more about building, and if you’re playing the long game, that counts for a lot.
The key question: can NEAR flip from “build mode” to “adoption mode” in 2026? If yes, the path to 20×-50× (though optimistic) doesn’t look impossible. If not, the gains may be modest.
Now the curve-ball: Remittix. This one deserves its place here because it takes the “infrastructure” theme and applies it to payments, arguably one of the largest buckets in finance that crypto has yet to fully capture. Remittix’s presale has already surpassed $28 million. It’s launching a multi-chain wallet, and the mission is simple yet massive: to enable people to send cryptocurrency and have fiat funds arrive in bank accounts worldwide.
These are early days. Execution matters. However, the size of the target (global payments, remittances, and cross-border flows) means that if things click, the upside could be among the largest in this group.
