SHIB saw its all-time high of $0.00008 in October 2021 after a meteoric rise from $0.000007911 in less than a month.
Dogecoin, meanwhile, rose from $0.0771 to $0.0838 over roughly the same period, according to CoinMarketCap, an increase of nearly 8%.
The last time DOGE was trading above $0.08 was in early June. Fans of the coin are eager to see it hit $0.10, though it was trading at $0.18 at the start of the year, and as high as $0.34 exactly one year ago today.
