Dogecoin (DOGE), the popular meme-inspired cryptocurrency, has seen a significant price surge over the past 24 hours, defying the broader crypto market’s volatility. As of the time of publishing, DOGE is trading at $0.1177, a 5.18% increase from the last 24 hours.
The recent price action has pushed Dogecoin’s market capitalization to $17.09 billion, with a 24-hour trading volume of $632,358,353.67. Year-to-date, DOGE has seen a 27.43% increase in value.
Broader Crypto Market Conditions
The surge in DOGE price comes after a broader crypto market downturn, with Bitcoin dropping 8% and other major altcoins like Ether, Solana, and Dogecoin plunging. Furthermore, due to low volatility in the broader market, traders moved away from riskier assets, resulting in the liquidation of over $400 million in crypto longs in the last 30 days.
Factors Driving Dogecoin’s Resilience
Despite the market conditions, Dogecoin’s strong community and growing utility have contributed to its resilience. The meme coin has gained popularity as a tipping currency on social media platforms like Reddit, and its community has been actively crowdfunding charitable causes.

Shibetoshi Nakamoto, co-creator of Dogecoin (DOGE), recently voiced concerns about the market’s future, warning, “There will always be a crash at some point.” He made these comments in response to a query about whether the stock market is currently in a bubble.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk, a self-proclaimed “Dogefather,” has significantly influenced DOGE prices by frequently sharing memes and references to the cryptocurrency on his social media feed. His impact on the Dogecoin community and the broader crypto market has sparked discussions and debates. Additionally, many crypto enthusiasts remain optimistic about Dogecoin being used as a payment method on X, the social media platform owned by Musk (formerly Twitter).
