The leading Proof of Work blockchain Dogecoin (DOGE) also joined Bitcoin’s ETF-infused rally, fetching double-digit gains. DOGE inked 13.24% to change hands at $0.074775 at the pinnacle point of the day, later facing market correction to trade at $0.070972.
SHIB & DOGE Whales on the Move Again?
Naturally, the surge past 7 cents for Dogecoin added a whopping $1.5 billion to the original memecoin’s global market cap in just seven days, while Shiba Inu enjoyed a $0.6 billion inflow during the same time. In contrast to Shiba Inu whales, large DOGE holders refrained from making too many large transactions during the BTC-infused bull run.
This happened as both canine coins significantly upped their correlation with Bitcoin. SHIB and DOGE hold a 0.68 and 0.80 positive correlation with the leading digital asset, according to the blockchain analytics enterprise IntoTheBlock.

- Rival Viking canine coin FLOKI soared by 118% during the same time frame, while $PEPE inked 93.3%.
