Memecoins are sometimes mocked by Bitcoin maximalists among others, but the wider crypto world does not always agree, with Apecoin (APE) currently ranking as the 32 largest crypto by market cap, and Shiba Inu, (SHIB) at 16. Importantly, both tokens offer utility, making them more than just a meme. ORBN, the token of Orbeon Protocol which has some interesting utilities of its own, is in the third stage of its presale, meaning that its market cap will not be revealed until it goes live at the end of January on Uniswap. This also means that ORBN offers the best likely chance of return on investment, with the potential to increase by 6000% upon launch.
Orbeon Protocol (ORBN) to offer big gains for holders in January
Orbeon Protocol is a decentralized investment platform that aims to revolutionise the existing crowdfunding industry, by enabling retail investors to get a stake in early stage crypto, web2 and web3 companies, offering opportunities for big gains.
This is possible through the use of equity-backed, fractionalized NFTs available from as low as $1. The NFTs are minted by startups seeking to raise capital on the platform, and provide unparalleled access into the venture capital industry.
ORBN itself (Orbeon Protocol’s native token) is also offering the potential for a superb ROI as an early stage project, as it is currently for sale at $0.0362, and is expected to go live on the 30th of January with a minimum starting price of $0.06, with some analysts predicting an ORBN price surge up to around $0.24. ORBN has lots of utilities including governance rights, staking yields for passive income, access to special rounds of other presales and discounts on trading fees.
Apecoin staking goes live, partnership with Flexa means US holders can now spend their APE at 45,000 location
Apecoin (APE) continues to innovate as the year comes to a close, with their staking rewards going live on December 12th. This caused a surge in prices up to a high of $4.52 on the same day. However as is usual with many DeFi staking programs, the rewards quickly dropped as the days progressed, and the Apecoin value fell as well.
The Ape Foundation (the base layer for Apecoin DAO) remained undeterred and surprised holders with an integration with Flexa, a payment app that allows Apecoin holders to spend their crypto at over 45k locations throughout the US. Given that the Ape foundation continues to innovate and that Apecoin will be the token of the metaverse Otherside, this dip could be a good moment to accumulate some Apecoin. Coinmarketcap users are predicting that Apecoin will hit the $4.33 mark by the end of the year.
Shiba Inu (SHIB) teases the release of Shibarium, the foundation for its growing ecosystem.
Whilst Shiba Inu, like most cryptos, has declined in price this week due to the US central bank’s hawkish rate hike of 0.50 percentage points, it has outperformed Ethereum and many other cryptocurrencies, over the last 7 days. This may well be due to excitement and hype surrounding the release of Shiba Inu’s long anticipated ‘Shibarium’, a layer 2 blockchain solution which aims to optimise and scale the Shiba Inu experience, and become the foundation for the Shiba Inu ecosystem, including a dex, metaverse and game.
The release of Shiba Inu’s layer 2 was teased on Twitter with a new website being built to display the countdown. At time of writing, shibatoken.com was down, meaning we will have to wait a little longer to know exactly when Shiba Inu’s Shibarium will be released. Regardless, it is clear that the release of the solution will be beneficial for Shiba Inu.
