IntelMarkets (INTL): Fastest Growing Altcoin in 2025

As the hype from memecoins such as Shiba Inu is shifting to utility based projects, IntelMarkets has emerged as a top contender. Currently it has beaten FLOKI to rise as the fastest growing altcoin of 2025. Its AI, combined with the blockchain and use of DeFi, makes IntelMarkets the fastest-growing altcoin of the year.

Shiba Inu (SHIB), once the darling of the meme coin world, has had a rough 2023. After reaching its all-time high (ATH) of $0.00008845 in October 2021, SHIB's value has plummeted drastically. Currently trading at $0.000024, the token has shown little sign of recovering.

Despite efforts to enhance its utility, such as the development of Shibarium, a Layer-2 scaling solution, SHIB's performance has remained sluggish. Several factors, including the coin’s market cap of over $14 billion, have limited its potential for further growth. As a result, many investors have shifted their focus to smaller-cap altcoins with higher upside potential.

While Shiba Inu still maintains a presence in the market, its chances of repeating its 2021 rally are slim, especially with the emergence of new players like IntelMarkets (INTL) that are capturing the attention of forward-thinking investors.

FLOKI Inu (FLOKI), a meme coin inspired by Elon Musk's pet dog, gained steam as a leading memecoin in 2023. During its peak in February 2023, FLOKI traded at $0.0003437, delivering substantial returns to early investors. The project boasted advancement in the ecosystem and undertook aggressive marketing campaigns, such as the NFT metaverse project.

However, FLOKI's performance has since scaled down. Currently, FOLKI trades at $0.0001792, a 50% fall from its all-time high. Moreover, FLOKI's monthly performance has been suboptimal, with the coin down almost 20% on the charts. Despite a smaller market cap of $1.7 billion compared to Shiba Inu, FLOKI's growth prospects remain limited.

The meme coin category has become significantly less attractive since the beginning of this year due to people's focus on investing in cryptocurrencies with real-life applications. As a result, FLOKI's reliance on hype and speculative trading has led to diminished returns, making it less appealing in a market that increasingly rewards innovation over novelty. FLOKI's best days may be behind it, leaving room for revolutionary projects like IntelMarkets to dominate.
