2 meme coins that can outperform Shiba Inu due to their high use cases & low market cap

We all know how dog-themed meme cryptocurrency Shiba Inu (SHIB) started as a joke coin in August 2020, and then rocketed more than last year. Since then SHIB developers have tried to build more value into the ecosystem by launching a decentralized exchange, non-fungible tokens (NFTs), complementary coins, and an ambitious blockchain that tested well during a beta run.
According to CoinMarketCap , SHIB is currently priced at $0.0000283 as of this writing. For it to reach just a penny per token would require a 33,000% pump, creating an astronomical market cap. Even a comparatively modest increase to its price by 100 times would give it a $1.67 trillion market cap — nearly the size of the entire $1.81 trillion crypto market, which will not happen anytime soon.
Instead, here are two alternative meme coins with much smaller total valuations that could more easily see five-digit percentage gains possibly this year and beyond
First, Samoyedcoin (SAMO) is a dog-themed token that launched last year on the increasingly popular Solana blockchain. SAMO is a growing digital asset that’s intended to serve as an on-ramp for new crypto users to the Solana network. Samoyedcoin also has a finite number of tokens capped at 9.2 billion and has had three separate token burns since its inception to maintain value.
Speaking of value, its total market cap is only $74 million. Even if its price increased 100 times this year, its market cap would barely place in the top-100 crypto projects based on valuation, so this could be a hidden meme gem with a lot of growth potential ahead.
Second, MonaCoin (MONA) has been around since January 2014 with no pre-mine process, which has ensured its open-source decentralized model has continued to endure. Like Dogecoin, it was based on a hard fork of Litecoin, and MONA is extremely popular in Japan as the token logo is based on a widely recognized cat character in that country. Peer-to-peer payment tech is the underlying functionality behind the project, and MONA is the native token used to reward its proof-of-work miners who validated network activity.
At the time of writing, MONA was priced at $1.03 , a 94% discount from its all-time high of $16.61 in December 2017. While it’s been volatile since then, it reached $4.02 per token in April 2021. This suggests that it has a degree of price resilience and endurance within the market. Additionally, its current market cap is only $67 million, which could easily accommodate a price multiplier in the hundreds. Given its past runups, it could easily have another flight if the conditions are right.
