 ▲ Shiba Inu (SHIB), Dogecoin (DOGE) © |
A projection has emerged that if $2,000 is invested in meme coins by 2030, Dogecoin could deliver far superior returns compared to Shiba Inu, with potential gains of up to 4,390%. Experts believe that Dogecoin, backed by Elon Musk’s support and growing interest from institutional investors, is likely to outperform Shiba Inu over the next four years.
According to crypto media outlet Watcher Guru on Feb. 12 (local time), Shiba Inu (SHIB) is currently trading at $0.000005838, ranking 27th by market capitalization at $3.43 billion. Dogecoin (DOGE), trading at $0.09042 with a market cap of $15.25 billion, holds 9th place overall and remains the leading meme coin. At current prices, a $2,000 investment would secure approximately 22,119 DOGE or 342.58 million SHIB.
Analysis platform Changelly forecasts that by 2030 SHIB could rise to as high as $0.0000625, marking a 970% return, while DOGE could climb to $1.02, reflecting a 1,028% increase. Under this scenario, a $2,000 initial investment would grow to $21,411 for SHIB and $22,561 for DOGE by 2030.
TeleGaon, offering a more aggressive outlook, predicts an even wider gap between the two coins. It projects SHIB could surge 2,024% to reach $0.000124, while DOGE could skyrocket 4,390% to $4.06. If realized, the value of a SHIB portfolio would reach $42,480, whereas a DOGE portfolio would soar to $89,803, suggesting Dogecoin would be the significantly more profitable choice.
Behind these optimistic forecasts lies a difference in fundamentals. Elon Musk recently reaffirmed his support by stating “probably next year” in reference to SpaceX’s planned Dogecoin lunar mission. Additionally, a Dogecoin-related ETF has secured more than $20 million in assets under management, gaining credibility within traditional finance. In contrast, Shiba Inu lacks spot ETF approval and shows limited signs of clear institutional demand.
Experts note that while both coins delivered strong returns in previous cycles, over the next four years Dogecoin—supported by expanding institutional participation and stronger fundamentals—is expected to drive market momentum. Although investors allocating $2,000 will face differing risk and return scenarios depending on their choice, current data and forecasts indicate that Dogecoin offers higher expected returns.
