Key Points
-
NEIRO exhibited a rapid price increase of over 100%, followed by early signs of short-term retracement.
-
Dogecoin recorded a more gradual climb of about 63%, with smoother price action and higher trading volume.
The memecoin market has seen significant gains this week amid a broader crypto recovery, and one standout performer is Neiro (NEIRO), a token branding itself as the “First Neiro on Ethereum.”
NEIRO has nearly doubled in value, rising almost 100% in the past 7 days, while also recording a rise in community engagement and holders.
This surge places NEIRO in renewed focus, particularly in light of its official acquisition of the Neiro intellectual property (IP), a move that strengthens its legal foundation and brand position in the Web3 space.
Neiro Secures Exclusive IP Rights from Atsuko Sato
On April 24, NEIRO announced that it has acquired the exclusive IP license from Atsuko Sato, the original creator of the iconic Doge image.
The license was obtained through a partnership with Own The Doge, the group that also oversees the Doge and Cocoro IPs.
“Holding the exclusive license to the Neiro IP is more than a milestone. It is a responsibility,” the NEIRO Foundation said in its announcement. “We will actively preserve Neiro’s legacy and defend both Neiro and Atsuko’s rights.”
With these rights secured, NEIRO plans to expand into officially licensed physical and digital products, while continuing its focus on community engagement and charitable work.
Since its inception, the Neiro Foundation has reportedly raised over $300,000 for global causes including disaster relief, animal rescue, and children’s education.
NEIRO vs. Dogecoin Price Movements
NEIRO’s association with the broader “Doge” meme ecosystem has led to comparisons with Dogecoin (DOGE), the original memecoin launched in 2013.
While both projects reference similar iconography and themes, their scale and structure differ significantly.
NEIRO Price Performance
Between May 8 and May 11, NEIRO experienced a sharp upward movement, rising from approximately 0.00022000 USDT to a peak of just above 0.00046000 USDT, representing a gain of more than 100% over three days.
This rapid price increase was characterized by a series of strong green candles with relatively low retracement, indicating a sustained bullish trend over the short term. The rally reached its peak on May 11, followed by a moderate pullback. As of May 12, the token is trading around 0.00041454 USDT, marking a slight decline of around 1.9% over the last recorded hourly candle.
The price structure on the NEIRO chart shows high short-term volatility with rapid expansions and intermittent consolidation periods.

DOGE Price Performance
Dogecoin also recorded significant gains over the past week. Starting from a local low of around 0.15800 USDT on May 8, the price climbed steadily to reach a high of approximately 0.25800 USDT by May 11—an increase of roughly 63% over three days.
Unlike NEIRO’s sharp and compact price spike, DOGE’s price increase was more gradual, showing multiple stages of accumulation followed by breakouts. There was a brief intraday correction after the peak, with the price now consolidating around 0.23814 USDT, down 0.76% in the last hour.
DOGE’s volume profile during this period is notably higher, with consistent buying activity across multiple sessions, and larger price bars reflecting deeper liquidity.
