Dogecoin Whale Transactions Skyrocket, Spiking 152%

Dogecoin is a popular meme coin that has inspired many other animal-themed cryptocurrencies. DOGE paved the path for the numerous cats and dogs that are flooding the meme coin realm. Meme coins were primarily developed as a joke, as their name suggests. However, over time, they have gained prominence as an important niche.

While other meme coins come and go, Dogecoin has earned its reputation among the meme coin community. According to the latest data from IntoTheBlock, there has been over a 152% spike in Dogecoin whale transactions that are valued at over $100,000 in the last 24 hours.
