This year, the meme coin market is dealing with yet another slump. Two of the most famous meme coins, Shiba Inu (SHIB) and PEPE, have been losing value consistently, leaving investors concerned about whether these tokens will bounce back.
At the same time, DTX Exchange, has successfully gathered more than $14 million during its ongoing public presale. The platform is gaining major traction as traders look for assets with real-world use cases.
So let’s break down the current situation with SHIB and PEPE and see why DTX Exchange is becoming the top choice for investors.
Shiba Inu (SHIB) Struggles to Hold Value
Shiba Inu (SHIB) got a lot of hype from its strong community at the start. However, in 2025, things are looking different. The price of Shiba Inu is currently at an uninspiring $0.000015 and SHIB has been struggling and failing to break resistance levels. Over the past few weeks, the price of SHIB has been falling by double digit percentages.

Even after outlining an ambitious vision to transform the Shiba Inu ecosystem into a global powerhouse within the next five years, the coin has failed to register any serious momentum. In fact, data shows that Shiba Inu currently has the lowest rate of new adoption in two years (about 12.83%).
Traders are getting fed up with Shiba Inu’s lack of movement. If fresh financial applications don’t emerge soon, investors will start to wonder if SHIB still has a role to play in the world of cryptocurrency.
PEPE Price Drops as Traders Lose Interest
PEPE coin made a splashy entrance, attracting a horde of investors drawn in by its meme-based charm. However, like SHIB, it is now experiencing a decline. In fact, PEPE has shed over $6 billion in market capitalization in the past two months.

The token has dropped by over 35% in the last few weeks, adding to its downward trend. Now, PEPE’s price is a meager $0.0000095. Despite its strong community, PEPE has failed to maintain long-term momentum. Traders who initially profited from PEPE’s early surge are now looking for better opportunities elsewhere and the 24-hour trading volume is down by 27%.
However, the PEPE community is trying to salvage its value by exploring new avenues for token utility.
DTX Exchange Raises Over $14 Million and More Investors Take Notice
While SHIB and PEPE are experiencing drops, DTX Exchange is having a moment in the spotlight. The platform has already raked in over $14.8 million during its presale phase alone, indicating significant investor trust.
DTX Exchange stands out because it connects crypto and traditional finance. It allows users to trade stocks, forex, tokenized assets in addition to crypto. It allows over 120,000 assets in total.
With its hybrid layer-1 Vulcan X blockchain, DTX ensures high security and efficiency. It has been fully-audited by SolidProof to confirm said security. The platform also offers staking rewards, trading fee discounts, and governance rights as incentives for its active users.
The current price of DTX in the final stage of its presale is $0.18. Over 700,000 investors have gotten involved already and it is expected that when DTX officially lists on major exchanges it will attract a lot more investment and exponentially boost the value of each of its 475 million tokens.
Conclusion
The recent price drops in SHIB and PEPE show the risks of investing in meme coins. Having secured $14 million in funding and seeing its user base expand, it’s emerging as a possible favorite platform for traders looking for genuine value in the cryptocurrency space.
