Dogecoin Records Bump in Transaction Activity, Points to Bullishness for DOGE

Election 2024 coverage presented by
A significant uptick in network activity could spell good news for bullish bets on Dogecoin (DOGE), the Shiba Inu-inspired memecoin that’s the largest by market cap in a multibillion-dollar cohort.
Network transactions crossed over 1.93 million transactions in the past week, IntoTheBlock data shows, beating that of other popular tokens such as Shiba Inu (SHIB), floki (FLOKI), pepe (PEPE) and others.
This marks the highest weekly transaction for the cryptocurrency since early July, indicating a resurgence of interest and usage of DOGE. Dogecoin has consistently maintained a higher number of transactions than other memecoins, the data shows.
However, current transaction volume remains below peak levels, so far in 2024, observed in February, which saw weekly transactions soaring above 10 million.
A spike in transactions suggests a potential revival of user engagement and could be indicative of growing adoption or increased trading activity – leading to higher prices.
For now, however, futures bets on DOGE have remained largely steady since late July amid a holiday period and a generally flat market. Open interest – or the number of unsettled futures bets – has hovered around the $500 million mark, CoinGlass data shows, indicating new money did not enter the DOGE market.
