These Meme Coins Could Skyrocket During the Next White Swan Event—Are You Holding?
When black swans dominate crypto headlines, white swans quietly mint fortunes. Meme coins—often dismissed as jokes—have repeatedly proven their resilience during market shocks. Here’s what to watch when the unexpected turns bullish.
The Contenders: More Than Just Hype
Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, and a handful of newcomers have defied ‘serious investor’ skepticism by outperforming blue-chip tokens during past liquidity surges. Their secret? Viral communities and low float—ingredients for explosive moves when liquidity floods the market.
Why White Swans Favor Memes
Unlike institutional darlings, meme coins thrive on retail frenzy. A Fed pivot or regulatory thaw could send sidelined capital rushing back—straight into the assets with the highest leverage to sentiment. (Yes, even the ones with dog logos.)
The Cynic’s Corner
Let’s be real: most meme coins will vanish faster than a trader’s stop-loss. But as any degens know, it only takes one moonbag to turn ‘reckless gamble’ into ‘visionary trade.’ Just don’t bet the farm—unless your farm is a shitposting alt account.
These Memes Might Thrive
The X account Shibarium Updates recently warned about the inevitable arrival of a white swan event that will most likely negatively impact the cryptocurrency sector. The team, however, claimed that investors holding Shiba Inu (SHIB) and other meme coins, part of its ecosystem, such as BONE, LEASH, TREAT, and SHEB, might be protected and could actually benefit.
“Because not everyone will ride it. Only the ones who stayed building in silence – and holding the right tokens,” the alert reads.
A white swan event refers to a relatively predictable crisis that is likely to send shockwaves throughout the financial and crypto markets.
On the contrary, black swan events in all financial markets, including crypto, come out of the blue and usually cause major setbacks. The self-proclaimed Dogecoin-killer (Shiba Inu) has not been immune to such incidents. In May 2022, for instance, its price saw a substantial drop following the collapse of Terra (LUNA) and its algorithmic stablecoin (UST).
A similar downtrend was observed in November 2022, when the once-prominent crypto exchange FTX experienced a liquidity crisis and was unable to honor its clients’ withdrawal requests. Shortly after, its problems intensified, and its former CEO, Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF), resigned while the company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.
SHIB’s Next Potential Targets
Despite plunging by almost 20% on a monthly scale, shiba inu remains the subject of optimistic price predictions. Earlier this week, a popular X user claimed that the asset “is pretty much at the bottom” and appears to be approaching an important support zone.
“If it really hits that support, it’ll likely MOVE sideways for a while before the next growth phase. Stay confident and keep holding or even buy more SHIB,” they added.
Prior to that, CryptoELITES opined that “everything is just getting started for SHIB,” envisioning a whopping 17x increase in the near future. Such a rally WOULD position the price at an all-time high of roughly $0.00023.
