Dogecoin’s Decade: Celebrating with a Price Surge

As Dogecoin (DOGE) celebrated its 10th anniversary on December 6, the meme-inspired cryptocurrency soared to an annual high of $0.102. This remarkable 17% surge within a day is partly attributed to Bitcoin’s rally, which boosted other altcoins into a bullish phase. 

Dogecoin’s market cap reclaimed its 10th spot on the CoinGecko list, reaching $14.5 billion, with trading volume surpassing $3.2 billion. Despite this impressive feat, DOGE still needs a sevenfold increase to reach its all-time high of $0.73 set in May 2021.
