SHIB Army Shifts Focus to RTX as Meme Coin Struggles Meet Real-World Utility

Shiba Inu (SHIB) holders, seeking the next potential crypto moonshot, are increasingly showing interest in Remittix (RTX), a PayFi platform disrupting the cross-border remittance sector. As SHIB’s price rose by 2% on September 3, 2025, ranking fifth among memecoins, it outperformed the broader cryptocurrency market’s 1% gain [1]. However, SHIB is trailing in comparison to other tokens like WIF, which gained 5%. Despite the recent uptick, SHIB is still 86% below its all-time high of $0.000090, which was reached in September 2021 [2].

SHIB has a total supply of one quadrillion tokens, and over 410 trillion have been burned since its launch, including a significant 41% of the total supply burned in 2021 by Ethereum’s Vitalik Buterin [3]. Despite these efforts to reduce supply and increase scarcity, SHIB has yet to see a corresponding rise in price. The Shiba Inu ecosystem has expanded beyond a meme coin to include a decentralized exchange (ShibaSwap), NFTs, and a Layer-2 blockchain called Shibarium. While Shibarium’s network traffic has reached over 1.5 billion monthly transactions by mid-2025, these figures have not reliably translated into price appreciation [4].

Remittix, on the other hand, is gaining momentum as a utility-driven project, outpacing Pi Network and Cardano in 2025 by offering a solution to the $19 trillion global remittance market. RTX’s hybrid blockchain infrastructure allows for instant crypto-to-fiat conversions in 30+ countries at a competitive 0.1% fee, leveraging Solana and Ethereum’s infrastructure [5]. This model directly challenges traditional remittance giants like Western Union and outperforms Cardano’s fragmented payment solutions [6]. RTX’s deflationary tokenomics and strategic partnerships in high-growth markets have already enabled the processing of 400,000 transactions by Q3 2025, showcasing its scalability and real-world utility [7].

The crypto market is witnessing a shift from speculative assets like meme coins to utility-driven projects. Shiba Inu’s SHIB Army, a global community of promoters, has historically supported the token during downturns. However, SHIB’s reliance on community-driven hype and its large circulating supply present challenges for substantial price increases. RTX’s institutional-grade security, including CertiK audits, and its focus on real-world utility are attracting investors who prioritize immediate returns and tangible use cases [8].

In conclusion, while Shiba Inu continues to hold a place among memecoins, SHIB holders are increasingly looking toward utility tokens like Remittix as the next potential moonshot. RTX’s innovative approach to cross-border payments and its robust infrastructure position it as a compelling alternative for investors seeking real-world impact and growth potential in the 2025 cycle.
