Dogecoin Whales Bags Millions Sparking Optimism
The top meme coins have noted a strong rally over the past few days amid a positive sentiment hovering in the broader crypto market. Amid this, Dogecoin whales have accumulated millions of tokens, showcasing their increasing confidence in the market.
According to a recent X post by the prominent crypto market expert, Ali Martinez, the DOGE whales have bagged 140 million coins from yesterday only. The transfers, valued at around $56 million, have sparked discussions in the market over further rally in the meme coin’s price.

DOGE To Hit $3 Next?
Apart from the Dogecoin whales, it appears many are now shifting their focus toward the digital assets space, especially the meme coins segment. Notably, interest rose after Elon Musk was appointed to the Department Of Government Efficiency (D.O.G.E.) to cut the excess Federal spending.
The short form of the department, resembling the ticker of Dogecoin, has sparked interest among investors. Besides, Musk has actively voiced his support for DOGE previously on the X platform, which has also fueled interest among investors.
However, despite the positive sentiment, the crypto market today retreated with Bitcoin price also witnessing a pullback from its ATH. Besides, several other top altcoins and meme coins have also faced pressure, as witnessed by the recent performances of the coins.
