On 16 December, Pepenode (PEPENODE) was highlighted as a leading altcoin candidate amid a broadly negative crypto market. The mining-focused meme token has raised $2.35 million in its presale, which is scheduled to end in 23 days before an exchange listing, and offers virtual mining nodes, staking with a 553% APY and a maximum supply of 210 billion tokens. Its final presale price is $0.0011968, with buyers able to participate using ETH, USDT, BNB or fiat through the project's official website.

According to the article, SOL dropped 4% in the past hour to about $127, down 7% over the week and 9.5% for the month. Farside Investors reported $16.6 million of inflows into Solana ETFs on Tuesday December 9 and $35 million across last week. CoinShares places year-to-date Solana fund inflows at $3.39 billion.

Shiba Inu has climbed 3% over the past 24 hours to $0.000008444 even as the community faces a wave of scam alerts involving fake developer accounts and wallet bug warnings. Despite being 1% lower on the week, 14% down in a month and 90% below its 2021 peak, indicators such as a recovering MACD and an improving macro backdrop suggest SHIB could revisit $0.000010 before potentially advancing toward $0.000030 by Q2 2026. In parallel, Bitcoin Hyper’s presale has attracted $29.3 million for its planned Bitcoin layer-two network, drawing investors looking beyond established meme coins.

Dogecoin rose 4% over the past 24 hours to $0.1464 as it rebounded from oversold levels and defended the key $0.130 support while traders waited for the Federal Reserve’s rate decision, according to the article. Although DOGE remains lower over the past week, month and year, chart indicators and the launch of several US-listed Dogecoin ETFs underpin scenarios in which the price could move toward $0.20 by late 2025 and $0.40 by mid-2026. The piece also notes rising interest in the PEPENODE presale alongside this outlook.
