Crypto Insiders Ditch DOGE & Pepe for This $0.005 Dark Horse—Here’s Why

Forget the meme coin circus—smart money’s pivoting to an under-the-radar altcoin trading at just half a penny. While DOGE and Pepe hog headlines, institutional whales are quietly accumulating this low-cap gem.

What’s the play? Early positioning before retail FOMO kicks in. The same insiders who called Bitcoin’s 2024 rally are now backing this micro-cap, betting it’ll outperform the usual suspects. No promises—just cold, hard on-chain data showing unusual accumulation patterns.

Meanwhile, Wall Street still can’t decide if crypto’s an asset class or a compliance nightmare. Your move.

Dogecoin Price Tumbles as Whales Lose Faith

As the Dogecoin price drops below the psychological level of $0.20, whales are turning bearish.

In December 2024, things were looking so good for Dogecoin’s price, as it made highs of around $0.43. This was largely due to the HYPE surrounding the new US administration and Trump’s apparent support for the ‘Dogecoin mascot’, Elon Musk.

However, as the D.O.G.E. agency failed in its attempt to cut trillions from the deficit, and tensions between the men became strained, the dogecoin price also slumped.

According to Manish Chhetri from FXStreet, if Dogecoin’s price slips to $0.18, then the next price level is likely to be $0.15.

It seems that smart money is supporting the bullish thesis, with Tradingview’s ‘Key fact’ of the day saying

“A wallet with over 104 million DOGE, worth about $20 million, transferred funds to Coinbase after being inactive since 2021, as Dogecoin’s value dropped from $0.23 to $0.188. This shows that whales are selling and either cashing out or investing in new cryptos.

Pepe Coin Struggles After Trump Bump

Despite the memecoin downturn, there is a lifeline for Pepe Coin, as President TRUMP posted a picture of Pepe on Truth Social. According to Josh Mair (@WizzOfCrypto), the price rose by 6% after the tweet, but the effect was short-lived, as an 18% retracement followed soon after. This was also linked to Trump, since his change of heart about tariffs made risk on assets less appealing than before.

Still, if the President keeps at it, he might be able to influence the path of the Pepe Coin, in the same way that Musk used to be able to with Dogecoin.

From a technical perspective, PEPE Coin recently experienced a death cross, and continues to trade under pressure amidst weakening momentum. According to U today, memecoins have been the worst performers of the past few days, with PEPE being one of the worst hit.

Data from Coinglass shows that while Open Interest was moving higher over the previous days, its now turned negative, as traders feel pessimistic about Pepe Coin’s future.

New AI Crypto Project Shows Strength During Market Weakness

If memecoins like dogecoin and Pepe coin are failing to provide a good source of investment, where are the whales putting their money?

One place is new projects that are in presale or seed rounds, but have a lot of potential due to the quality of the idea behind them. This is because the price remains stable or increases despite short-term fluctuations in the macroeconomic environment. Presales reward early backers with low token prices.

Unilabs is one such project, which is in stage 2 of a multi-stage presale. The coin has raised almost $2 million in backing, in a short time. Stage 2 is almost sold out, and the price of the token will increase by 21%.

This is a great statistic, when most of crypto is moving sideways. But what does Unilabs do? The protocol is trying to use AI to beat the market in terms of hedge fund and TradFi investment. And their AI has already chosen four funds, AI, BTC, Mining, and Real World Assets. These are all sectors which VCs and hedge fund managers are bullish on, showing that the AI is, so far, on point.

They have also created their own mining operations, using H100 GPUs and sustainable energy practices to create stable yields for their investors.

And recognising that while memecoins may be down right now, they are an integral part of crypto, the AI scans the market for promising memecoins, as well as new DeFi projects.

UNIL is the token behind the platform, and will give holders various benefits such as preferential access to new DeFi projects, and the ability to stake for passive income.

UNIL is currently available at $0.0051 and will increase to $0.0062 upon completion of the current fundraising round, which, at time of writing, is 80% complete.
