Dogecoin’s (DOGE) Price Crashes Despite Reclaiming Top 10 Ranking By Market Capitalization

Elon “The Dogefather” Musk’s endorsement of Dogecoin (DOGE) nearly a year and a half ago on the Saturday Night Live show seems to not have paid dividends, as data shows that the the top meme coin’s market value has plunged by more than 75% since then.

Despite the success of the Mr. Musk’s recent ‘Twitter Whistleblower’ campaign, it seems that The Dogefather’s constant support of the DOGE Army has barely had any effect on Dogecoin’s (DOGE) market price. Interestingly, according to data metrics by Revondo, Dogecoin (DOGE) is likely to hit $0.05975 in the next 24 hours.

How Much Does the Market Price of DOGE Influence Adoption Speed?

In spite of the ‘Crypto Fear & Greed Index‘ once again pointing to sentiment of Extreme Fear, with a rating of 21, some crypto enthusiasts on Twitter argue that Dogecoin’s (DOGE) price doesn’t always reflect the reality of its situation. Indeed Dogecoin (DOGE) has gone through a great deal of technical upgrades, including the C-Library update and the upcoming Layer-2 solution. Dogecoin (DOGE) developers even joined forces with Blue Pepper for a year-end release.

Meanwhile, Dogechain, an unofficial Layer-2 solution for the DOGE Army, has gained in popularity, with over $300M in Dogecoin (DOGE) being bridged through the solution, even despite DOGE Founder Billy Markus, a.k.a Shibetoshi Nakamoto, turning down a luscious $13 million advertising offer from Dogechain.

At press time, Elon Musk’s beloved Dogecoin (DOGE) trades at $0.056380, putting it firmly in the red at an 8.4% deficit for the past 24 hours. Moreover, the remorseless bears have left the popular canine coin staring down losses of 11.2% loss over the last 7 days.

Dogecoin (DOGE) Regains 10th Position Amid Brutal Bear Market

Despite falling below its favorable support line of $0.06, the dog-themed cryptocurrency won back 10th place in the crypto rankings by total market capitalization. Polkadot (DOT), one of the OG cryptos established in 2016 by former Ethereum (ETH) Co-Founder Gawin Wood, had previously overtaken Dogecoin (DOGE) on August 8th, 2022.

The news comes just days after Dogecoin (DOGE) became one of the largest Proof of Work (PoW) cryptocurrencies, second only to market leader Bitcoin (BTC). At press time, Dogecoin’s (DOGE) total market cap stands at $7,497,499,427, according to CoinGecko.

Nevertheless, Polkadot (DOT) is still on DOGE’s heels with a market cap of $7,133,416,278, and climbing higher up in the crypto rankings will be no easy task for Dogecoin (DOGE), as both Cardano (ADA) & Solana (SOL), holding the 8th and 9th positions respectively, lead the popular meme coin by more than $3 million.
