Shiba Inu Price Prediction for February End

The Shiba Inu Ecosystem is currently under a revamp mode. The token is yet to encounter a stable price spot and is currently sitting at $0.00001670, up 7% in the last 24 hours. The token is undergoing central changes within its ecosystem, which includes a change in administrative duties with Kusama now heading the role of a global ambassador for SHIB. That being said, the token is also a magnifying effort to establish global collaborations, such as striking partnerships with the UAE to establish a global reputation.

Per CoinCodex, Shiba Inu may take a while to hit a new high. The portal predicts the token to slip 1% by the February end 2025.

Dogecoin Price Prediction for February End 2025

Dogecoin (DOGE) is also gaining mainstream attention with each passing day. The token is currently gaining mainstream spotlight due to two obvious reasons. For instance, Doge ETFs are now gaining traction in the market, which may usher in a bullish scenario for the token. Apart from this, Elon Musk and his rising duties within the D.O.G.E. department are also making a significant impact on the price of Dogecoin.

Per CoinCodex, Dogecoin may note a price decline of 9%, hitting a new low of $0.22 by the end of February 2025.

“According to our current Dogecoin price prediction, the price of Dogecoin is predicted to drop by -9.56% and reach $ 0.223131 by March 10, 2025. Per our technical indicators, the current sentiment is bearish while the Fear & Greed Index is showing 44 (fear). Dogecoin recorded 12/30 (40%) green days with 12.14% price volatility over the last 30 days. Based on the Dogecoin forecast, it’s now a bad time to buy Dogecoin.”

Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (D.O.G.E) has followed through on its January promise to dig through the US Department of Education, reportedly ejecting top officials from their offices.

Even President Donald Trump’s own appointed officials were pushed out. Acting Education Secretary Denise Carter lost access to her office and was forced to sit outside in a waiting area, according to a CNBC report. Acting Under Secretary James Bergeron didn’t even bother moving in—his office was already occupied by D.O.G.E staffers.

White noise machines were installed to block conversations, desks were moved, and key leadership spaces were seized without warning.

D.O.G.E digs in, Trump backs the purge

D.O.G.E teams wasted no time securing their positions. After occupying the seventh floor, operatives reportedly went floor to floor collecting office furniture and equipment to build their own workspaces. One Education Department employee reportedly called it a “compound.”

Asked about the situation, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Communications Madi Biedermann downplayed concerns. “The D.O.G.E employees are federal employees. They have been sworn in, have the necessary background checks and clearances, and are focused on making the Department more cost-efficient, effective, and accountable to the taxpayers,” Biedermann allegedly told CNBC.

Trump has been clear from the get go: the Department of Education is a target. While congressional approval is required to formally dismantle the agency, Elon’s D.O.G.E team is executing a workaround—starving it from the inside.

Meanwhile, Trump’s nominee for Education Secretary, Linda McMahon, is scheduled for a confirmation hearing later today. Until then, the department remains under siege.

Education officials describe a tense atmosphere, with career employees and Republican political appointees alike struggling to maintain control. “They’re working in collaboration with department staff. There is nothing inappropriate or nefarious going on,” Biedermann insisted. But CNBC’s report says otherwise.

D.O.G.E races to cut billions before time runs out

D.O.G.E is racing against the clock to slash as much funding as possible before their contracts expire. On Monday, D.O.G.E’s social media account announced $881 million in Education Department contracts had been canceled.

D.O.G.E operatives are reportedly competing with one another, each trying to make the biggest budget cuts. Most of these guys are classified as “special government employees,” a status that limits their federal employment to 130 days per year. This means they have about four months to carve through the department’s finances before time runs out.

Once they leave, the remaining Education Department staff will be left to deal with the fallout. “They didn’t make conversation,” said one official, reportedly describing the team as “secretive.” Employees say they feel the need to physically stay out of D.O.G.E’s way, calling the overall environment “intimidating.”

Trump’s administration has pushed a massive voluntary resignation program across federal agencies. So far, 75,000 government employees have signed up for the initiative called Fork in the Road. Under the program, employees resign in February but continue receiving paychecks through September.

The White House had aimed for 5-10% of the federal workforce to take the offer. Instead, participation has fallen short, increasing the likelihood of mass firings. On Tuesday, Elon stood beside Trump as he signed an executive order directing agency heads to move forward with layoffs, though Trump did say that public safety, immigration enforcement, and law enforcement will be spared.
