In the world of memecoins—where hype often trumps fundamentals—profitability is the metric that truly matters. So how are top players like Dogecoin (DOGE), Shiba Inu (SHIB), and Pepe (PEPE) performing when we look at real investor returns?
Santiment’s latest on-chain analysis provides a clear picture, using the Market Value to Realized Value (MVRV) Intraday ratio—a powerful indicator that reveals whether holders are sitting on gains or losses. The focus? Two key investor segments: short-term (30-day) and long-term (365-day) holders.
Dogecoin (DOGE): Veteran Traders Take the Hit Despite being the original memecoin, Dogecoin’s long-term investors are currently deep in the red. Over the past year, 365-day DOGE holders are down nearly 21%, even as recent buyers (30-day) are slightly profitable at +1.7%. This flip is rare—short-term traders usually lag long-term HODLers. But DOGE’s sharp price correction since its mid-April peak could be setting the stage for a potential rebound. The opportunity? A reset that might reward patience.
Shiba Inu (SHIB): Struggles Across the Board SHIB holders have had it rough. Short-term investors are down 1%, while those who’ve held for a year are facing 31% in unrealized losses. This suggests that SHIB hasn’t just lost momentum—it’s yet to find a bottom where investor confidence can be rebuilt.
Pepe (PEPE): The Surprising Winner While DOGE and SHIB struggle, PEPE is showing resilience. Long-term investors are up +24%, a rare feat in memecoin territory. Even short-term holders are faring better, with minimal losses of just 0.8%. Santiment hints that PEPE may still be in a cooling-off phase—but it’s clearly been rewarding patient investors.
The Takeaway Memecoins may be driven by community and culture, but data doesn’t lie. While Dogecoin and Shiba Inu fight to recover, PEPE’s performance is a reminder that even in the most speculative corners of crypto, smart timing and patience can pay off.
As always, profits favor the informed. Stay sharp.
