Arman ShirinyanDogecoin whale transactions spike 133%
According to data provided by IntoTheBlock, Dogecoin whales were on their toes yesterday, with a 133% increase in large transactions (i.e., transactions that exceed $100,000). Large transaction spikes are frequently associated with increased activity from institutional players, or whales, who are either buying or selling. Meanwhile, the price of the meme cryptocurrency has seen a nearly 7.48% spike, allegedly caused by Elon Musk’s comment that it would be "sick" to buy Twitter and change the blue bird logo to that of Doge. However, at press time, DOGE is changing hands at $0.14, down 3.50% over the last 24 hours.
