100 Million DOGE Whale Transfer Causes Stir, But Buyers Hit the Snooze Button!

by
  • The Dogecoin capitalization discrepancy is giving us a peek into the market’s emotional baggage.
  • Whale watchers are in awe as two groups get cozy with their Dogecoin stash, but most others seem to be contemplating life decisions before buying.

In a shocking twist that absolutely no one predicted (except, well, pretty much anyone who has been following the market), Dogecoin [DOGE] experienced a 33.5% dip in trading volume over the last 24 hours. It’s probably the “weekend effect,” which is when the crypto market decides to take a nap while we all pretend to have a life. Meanwhile, the price took a 3% dive, just as Bitcoin [BTC] rejected the oh-so-glamorous $97.9k mark and dropped 2.4% in less than two days. Ah, the joy of volatile markets!

In more entertaining news, the biggest memecoin on the block saw a bit of whale activity. That’s right, a whopping 100 million DOGE tokens, worth a delightful $17.5 million, got gobbled up by the deep-pocketed sea creatures of crypto. 🐋💰

And if that wasn’t enough to stir your coffee, the outflow of Dogecoin from exchanges spiked, which is usually a sign that the whales are taking their treasures and running. This raised hopes for a potential rally… but hold your horses, folks—other metrics weren’t exactly waving pom-poms in support of this.

Dogecoin Holders: “Not Today, Satan” (or Selling)

Since the 6th of April, Dogecoin’s market capitalization had a modest glow-up, going from $21 billion to $26.4 billion. However, the Realized Cap, which shows the value of coins at their last transaction price, had a much less glamorous week, shrinking from $21.5 billion to $21.3 billion. Oops!

This strange little discrepancy between the Market Cap and the Realized Cap suggests that some of the recent gains might have been fueled by wild speculation—because who doesn’t love a bit of speculation with their crypto, right?

On the bright side (at least if you’re one of those “long-term holder” types), the real silver lining was that these holders weren’t exactly rushing to sell their DOGE. If they had, we would be looking at a steeper drop in the realized cap. Who knew? The long-term holders were the heroes we didn’t know we needed. 🦸‍♂️

AMBCrypto took a magnifying glass to Dogecoin’s supply distribution, and what did they find? A strange phenomenon! On April 8th, wallets holding 100,000 to 1 million DOGE tokens started selling. After that, these wallets decided to just hang out and not buy anything. How very considerate of them.

Meanwhile, wallets with 10 million-100 million DOGE tokens were busy distributing over the past month, while the 1 million-10 million and 100 million-1 billion DOGE holders were seen actually buying some more tokens post-April 8th. Yes, the 1 billion DOGE club! 🤑

On the “enthusiastic” front, the Daily Active Addresses were a mere 3.4% of what they were back in November. Seems like the market was taking a little break from its party days.

In conclusion, the market sentiment for Dogecoin is about as lively as a snail on a lazy day. Unless we see more activity and buying pressure, it looks like DOGE is stuck in a holding pattern. No major rally on the horizon—yet. But hey, you never know with this wild crypto circus. 🎪🚀
