Shiba Inu Large Holders Buy 400 Billion Tokens as Pepeto Rises on Meme Momentum

Shiba Inu (SHIB) continues to trade well below its $1 price target, yet it remains a focal point in the meme token space. Recent market activity has shown large holders acquiring over 400 billion SHIB tokens within a 24-hour window, as reported by IntoTheBlock. This accumulation, combined with a 1,700% increase in SHIB’s burn rate over the past week—removing more than 629 billion tokens from circulation—has reduced supply and signaled a potential floor for the token around $0.0000103 [1]. Analyst Joe Swanson highlighted a possible price path where SHIB could reach $0.0000239 if it breaks through $0.0000171, reinforcing optimism among investors [2].

Simultaneously, the emergence of Pepeto has captured attention as a new meme token capitalizing on the SHIB-driven momentum. With an initial price of $0.000000144, Pepeto’s offering has already raised over $5.8 million, driven by a phased pricing model that encourages early participation. The project’s roadmap includes the launch of PepetoSwap, a zero-fee trading platform, and a cross-chain bridge, aiming to combine meme culture with functional blockchain infrastructure [3]. A preview version of the platform has already been shared with the community, reinforcing the project’s alignment with its stated objectives [4].

Pepeto’s economic model is also designed to foster long-term engagement, with 30% of the token supply allocated to offering participants and 30% reserved for reward mechanisms. The project also plans to distribute tokens for marketing, liquidity, and development, with no trading fees to incentivize sustained participation. These features, combined with the rapid pace of funding, suggest that Pepeto is positioning itself as a serious contender in the meme token landscape [1].

The interplay between SHIB and Pepeto reflects broader dynamics in the meme token market. Large holders of SHIB appear to be shaping the narrative by reducing supply and signaling long-term confidence, while projects like Pepeto are leveraging this environment to attract new investors. If SHIB continues to consolidate and potentially rally toward $1, it could catalyze renewed interest in emerging meme tokens like Pepeto. This could lead to increased buying pressure on Pepeto’s offering, especially if its utility-driven approach resonates with investors seeking both cultural appeal and practical use cases [2].

While forecasts suggest that Pepeto could surpass SHIB in market capitalization before reaching a potential valuation of $15 billion, such projections remain speculative [5]. However, the growing enthusiasm for Pepeto, combined with the bullish signals in the SHIB market, indicates a maturing meme token ecosystem where community-driven innovation and strategic tokenomics play an increasingly important role. Investors are closely monitoring both assets, as their performance may serve as a barometer for the broader market’s health and momentum in 2025 [4].
