Shiba Inu (SHIB) and Dogecoin (DOGE), the top two meme coins by market capitalization, have been vying for dominance since the last bull cycle. Now, leading electric vehicle manufacturers Tesla and DeLorean Motors may enter the fray, each backing their preferred crypto: SHIB or DOGE.
Elon Musk, the founder and CEO of Tesla, has publicly supported Dogecoin on numerous occasions, and Tesla’s website accepts DOGE for purchases.
Rival automaker DeLorean Motors hinted that it might support SHIB payments in response to Tesla’s DOGE acceptance. This possibility was highlighted on X (formerly Twitter) by Lucie, the marketing head at Shiba Inu. If DeLorean adds this feature, it could significantly boost SHIB’s adoption and popularity.

“The future’s looking more exciting by the minute! Buckle up, Shib army—something big could be coming soon!”
According to CoinMarketCap data, the total market cap of the meme coin sector is $59.2 billion, up 4.7% in the past 24 hours. SHIB and DOGE dominate the sector with massive valuations of $16.9 billion and $10.7 billion, respectively.
