Memecoin Comeback Talk Builds as DOGE, SHIB, BONK Rally in Early 2026

In early January 2026, the memecoin sector, including Shiba Inu (SHIB), saw renewed optimism as DOGE, SHIB, and BONK rallied. However, analysts flagged concerns about the high concentration of SHIB in major wallets, which could pose risks of market volatility if large holders choose to sell. This concentration makes SHIB particularly sensitive to whale movements, amplifying both upward and downward price swings. (Source) For the coin market, this resurgence suggests traders are willing to rotate back into high-risk assets, potentially signaling a return of speculative fervor. Yet, the risk of sharp corrections remains elevated due to the uneven distribution of holdings, meaning retail investors should exercise caution and monitor whale activity closely.
