Meme mania rarely stays quiet for long. Over the past month, liquidity has trickled back into dog and frog-themed tokens as Bitcoin grinds higher. Yet on-chain footprints reveal that whales aren’t treating Shiba Inu (SHIB) and PEPE equally. By digging into wallet flows, exchange books and social-volume spikes, we can see which mascot is winning the battle for “smart money” attention.
SHIB trades near $0.000018 on roughly $140 million in daily turnover. Shibarium’s Layer-2 throughput continues to climb, now averaging 820,000 transactions per day, yet the burn address has slowed to under two billion SHIB per week. Several large wallets have moved tokens from cold storage back to Binance, hinting at near-term supply overhang. Options desks also favour protective puts around $0.000010, suggesting cautious positioning until a fresh catalyst emerges.

PEPE hovers around $0.000010 but logs nearly $600 million in 24-hour volume, four times SHIB’s flow. On-chain tracker Lookonchain flagged a new multi-sig wallets buying 600B PEPE in a single day. Funding rates on Bybit flipped positive for the first time since March, signalling leveraged longs are back in force. This combination of spot buying and derivative appetite implies whales view PEPE as the higher-beta play for the current market phase.
Data aggregation platform Nansen shows a net outflow of $38 million from wallets tagged “smart money” for SHIB over the last 30 days, while the same cohort added $91 million in PEPE. Social-volume metrics reinforce the tilt: PEPE mentions on X jumped 28 % week-over-week; SHIB chatter slipped 11%. Unless Shibarium unveils a surprise fee-sharing or burn mechanic upgrade, the capital rotation trend appears set in PEPE’s favour.
While whales duel over meme supremacy, another token quietly gains traction: Remittix (RTX). Instead of relying on social hype, Remittix focuses on slashing cross-border payment fees by routing assets across 40-plus chains and settling in local cash within minutes. On-chain analytics reveal more than 65% of circulating RTX held in long-term wallets, a stronger commitment ratio than either SHIB or PEPE. For investors wanting meme-coin upside without meme-coin volatility, Remittix’s PayFi approach offers a compelling hedge.
