Ancient Dogecoin (DOGE) Whale Suddenly Wakes up After 10 Years

An ancient Dogecoin DOGEUSD whale resurfaced on the cryptocurrency market after a prolonged absence, according to a report by Whale Alert. Holding a substantial 3.7 million DOGE, equivalent to approximately $662,519, this whale has recently initiated transactions for the first time since January 2014. 

The unexpected return of this long-dormant investor has garnered significant attention within the crypto community, particularly as it coincides with the approaching DOGE Day on April 20 — a date of cultural significance for Dogecoin enthusiasts.

Historically, the reappearance of dormant whales like this one has been met with speculation regarding potential market implications. Similar instances involving participants from past ICOs, notably in Ethereum, have led crypto enthusiasts to closely monitor market dynamics following such events.

This resurgence occurs amid Dogecoin's recent surge in popularity, solidifying its position as the eighth-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, currently valued at $25.5 billion, with each token priced at $0.17.

However, despite this renewed interest, Dogecoin encountered volatility in April, experiencing a 19.2% decline in price over the past four days. This downturn contrasts with the significant growth observed from February to March, during which Dogecoin's value soared by 180%. DOGE to USD by CoinMarketCap
