Because it is important

Whether Baby Doge will be able to build and implement a metaverse of its own remains to be seen, but this move is part of the broader trend in crypto markets that has seen meme coins take on greater utility than just price and hype.

Shiba Inu (CRYPTO: SHIB), well-known cryptocurrency meme and rival of Dogecoin (CRYPTO: DOGE), last week announced plans to launch the Shiba Inu Metaverse Lands, plots of virtual land that will be part of Shiberse (codename for Shiba Inu’s metaverse).

Another canine-themed cryptocurrency in December last year, Floki Inu (CRYPTO: FLOKI), claimed to have integrated the decentralized oracle Chainlink (CRYPTO: LINK) to bring decentralized finance (DeFi) capabilities to its community of token holders.

Meanwhile

Baby Doge has one of the largest meme cryptocurrency communities in the world, with over 1.4 million holders.

By comparison, Etherscan data shows that, as of February 15, the number of SHIB holders was 1.1 million.

Price movement

At the time of publication, BABYDOGE was up 4.6% daily to $ 0.000000003563.
