Dogecoin posted a late-session rebound during Aug. 30–31, with whale and exchange movements signaling continued institutional interest despite macro uncertainty.
Market Overview
DOGE fell 5% over 24 hours from $0.22 to $0.21 between Aug. 28 at 09:00 and Aug. 29 at 08:00, mirroring broader risk-asset weakness. A whale transferred 900 million DOGE (~$200 million) to Binance in mid-August, causing volatility and sparking distribution concerns.
Futures open interest declined 8% following the inflow, reflecting reduced speculative positioning. On-chain data shows sustained whale accumulation, with roughly 680 million DOGE added in August. Meanwhile, Dogecoin’s network fundamentals remain solid, with hashrate surpassing 2.9 PH/s, ensuring robust security.
