Back in 2021, Shiba Inu shocked the crypto world with a 10,000x rally. What started as a playful DOGE rival became a multibillion-dollar powerhouse, cementing SHIB as one of the most famous meme coins of all time. Traders now hunt for the next breakout, asking which tokens could possibly pull off that kind of move again. Three names stand out: SNEK, SUNDOG, and Layer Brett ($LBRETT).
Shiba Inu set the benchmark for meme mania
To see why these new projects are gaining attention, look back at Shiba Inu. Launched in 2020, SHIB went viral as the “Dogecoin killer.” By October 2021, it hit a $40B+ market cap, creating millionaires overnight.
The success wasn’t random — SHIB had timing, hype, and major exchange listings. That cocktail is exactly what traders want in today’s meme tokens. Another 10,000x is rare, but chasing life-changing upside is still the game.
SNEK: The Cardano meme coin that won’t quit
SNEK leads the meme charge on Cardano. Trading near $0.0013 with a market cap around $90–100M, it’s been climbing steadily thanks to grassroots support. It mirrors SHIB’s early formula: Meme branding, loyal community, and nonstop social buzz.
Challenges remain: Cardano’s ecosystem has less liquidity than ETH or SOL, so growth depends on broader ADA adoption. Still, SNEK has become Cardano’s cultural flagship and a rallying point for ADA holders who want to see their ecosystem spawn a SHIB-level winner. That passion alone has kept volume alive when other small caps went quiet.
SUNDOG: Early and highly speculative
SUNDOG is a micro-cap with branding that attracts degens. Market cap is still in the single-digit millions, making it a pure gamble.
The upside? Room for exponential growth if traction builds. The risk? Thin liquidity, extreme volatility, and limited listings. Like SHIB in its earliest days, it’s a moonshot — but only if the community sticks. Supporters argue that SUNDOG has the “nothing-to-lose” factor that often sparks meme rallies, and the branding has already begun to spread on social media channels at a surprising pace.
Layer Brett: Not just another meme
The real disruptor is Layer Brett. Unlike most SHIB copycats, it pairs meme appeal with genuine utility. As an Ethereum Layer 2, it offers faster transactions and far lower fees than ETH itself. That’s why insiders are loading up.
The presale has raised over $3.8M, with entry at $0.0058. Staking yields still sit in the hundreds of percent (684% at the time of writing, dropping daily), alongside gamified staking, NFT integrations, cross-chain bridging, and a $1M giveaway.
And the social traction is undeniable. Telegram and X channels are growing fast. As one Telegram user said today: “LBRETT is the only Layer 2 where memes meet real utility — this is just getting started.” Quotes like this are fueling early excitement and adding the kind of credibility no paid ad can buy.
Which could really follow SHIB’s path?
- SNEK has grassroots backing and could rally if ADA expands.
- SUNDOG offers raw speculation for high-risk chasers.
- $LBRETT blends meme energy with L2 speed, low fees, massive staking rewards, and a viral community — the same catalysts that fueled SHIB’s rise, with fundamentals SHIB never had.
The best shot at a modern SHIB moment
Shiba Inu will always be a meme legend. But if 2025 crowns a new 1,000x contender, it’s coming from one of these three. SNEK has ADA support, SUNDOG brings risk-on fire, and Layer Brett has everything SHIB had, plus the blockchain power it lacked. That’s why traders who missed SHIB in 2021 are piling into $LBRETT.
Get in early — the next SHIB-style breakout may already be here.
