This came after Dogecoin\u2019s initial 36,000% rally, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/shiba-inu\/best-time-buy-sell-shiba-inu\/\">Shiba Inu followed<\/a> with an over 1,000,000% rally. Naturally, this has led to the search of the meme coin that will replicate Shiba Inu\u2019s move and so far, the verdict has been that it will be the PEPE meme coin. One analyst deep dives into this, elaborating on why PEPE could pull a similar stunt.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p2\">Why PEPE Is The Shiba Inu Of This Cycle<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p2\">Crypto analyst Rexha took to the X (formerly Twitter) platform to discuss the current meme coin market and what investors could expect to come from it. Starting out, they draw out a parallel between the SAFEMOON and active Solana traders chart, showing a similarity between the two. For context, SAFEMOON was one of the meme coins from 2021 that saw a massive run, but eventually turned out to be a scam.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Rexha pointed out that investors are often looking for the next big thing, as was seen back in 2021 after the <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/spacex-ipo-with-dogecoin-price\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Dogecoin<\/a> and Shiba Inu rallies on the Ethereum blockchain. Traders had then moved to \u2018cheaper\u2019 blockchains in a bid to chase the next runner, leading to a lot of scams, which the analyst says culminated in SAFEMOON on the BNB Chain.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Eventually, once the scams became too much and many traders were used as exit liquidity, attention shifted back to the meme coins that began the run. At the time, it was <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/dogecoin-shiba-inu-rally\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Dogecoin and Shiba Inu<\/a>, as traders realized they were a \u2018safer\u2019 bet.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">This time around, though, it is not <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/shiba-inu\/shiba-inu-price-if-doge-hits-10\/\">Dogecoin and Shiba Inu<\/a> kickstarting the meme coin season and leading the charge. Instead, it was the likes of PEPE that had pumped on the Ethereum blockading, according to the analyst.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">The move to the Solana blockchain, Rexha explains, was the result of traders trying to chase new runners on a \u201ccheap and fast\u201d chain. However, with the advent of projects such as PumpFun sucking a fair amount of liquidity out of the market, the Solana \u2018trenches\u2019 have now mostly died out.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">As the trend comes full cycle once again, the crypto analyst expects traders to move back to the meme coin that started it all, and that is PEPE in this place. Rexha calls this a \u201cReturn to Quality\u201d on the Ethereum blockchain, predicting that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/analysis\/pepe\/pepes-nears-yearly-lows\/\">PEPE\u2019s second run<\/a> will be similar to that of Shiba Inu\u2019s second run.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">The analyst also warns that with this PEPE\u2019s second run, traders will be lured back in with the hopes of having another run on other blockchains, such as a PumpFun \u201cV2\u201d. However, this is expected to be a \u201cFinal Extraction\u201d event, so it is imperative that traders be careful <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/analysis\/pepe\/pepe-price-could-soar-3000\/\">when engaging with meme coins<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/x\/1dTYi3Tx\/\" alt=\"PEPE price chart from Tradingview.com\" width=\"3280\" height=\"1878\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the bull market cycle of 2021-2022, the Shiba Inu meme coin made waves in a way that changed the face of meme coins forever.
