Could 2026 be a devastating year for the biggest meme coins?
We consulted four of the most popular AI-powered chatbots on whether the crisis will continue and specifically asked whether Dogecoin (DOGE) and Shiba Inu (SHIB) could crash to $0 sometime this year.
The chances are slim
According to ChatGPT, there is a theoretical possibility, although highly questionable, that the largest meme coins (in terms of market capitalization) plunge to zero.
It recalled that the tokens are actively traded on major exchanges and have millions of holders, and this is unlikely to change in 2026. At the same time, given current market conditions, ChatGPT suggested that a deeper crash could occur in the following months.
“DOGE and SHIB are among the most widely distributed cryptocurrencies in the world. Millions of wallets hold these assets, many of which have no intention of selling at extremely low prices. This creates a distributed supply base, reducing the likelihood of a total demand vacuum. Even during prolonged bear markets, a subset of holders continue to trade, bet (if applicable), or speculate,” the report said.
Grok – the chatbot integrated into X – claimed that a collapse to $0 in extreme scenarios cannot be ruled out. However, it predicted that DOGE and SHIB could stabilize later in 2026 if Bitcoin (BTC) recovers and the hype returns.
“DOGE could hover around $0.10-$0.15, and SHIB could aim to “remove a zero” ($0.00001+ to be achieved) with burns and upgrades,” it predicted.
No chance at all
Firstly, Dogecoin has made significant progress in recent years and there are even approved spot DOGE ETFs in the US. It is also Elon Musk’s cryptocurrency of choice, while Shiba Inu has evolved into a complex ecosystem with a huge and dedicated community.

Perplexity predicted that smaller meme coins could drop to $0 by 2026, but it won’t be DOGE or SHIB. The chatbot even foresaw a potential spike to $0.50 and even $1 for Dogecoin in the coming months, should the hype return. It outlined a less bullish forecast for SHIB, assuming the price could rise by up to 20% this year.
