Dogecoin saw a substantial drop in retail interest during the last few weeks as the price of DOGE lost nearly 30% of its value since 23 August 2021. As a result, Dogecoin’s market cap dropped sharply during the mentioned period.
According to Coinmarketcap, DOGE is down by nearly 10% in the last 24 hours. Dogecoin is now the 10th most valuable digital currency in the world with a market cap of $28 billion. The total market capitalization of Dogecoin dipped below the market value of Solana (SOL), Polkadot (DOT), and stable coin USDC.
The world’s 10th largest cryptocurrency is currently trading near $0.21. DOGE now accounts for approximately 1.5% of the overall crypto market cap. Dogecoin touched an all-time high of $0.73 in May 2021. Despite the recent correction, DOGE is up by more than 5,000% in 2021.
In May 2021, Dogecoin became more valuable than XRP after DOGE jumped by more than 50% within 24 hours on 4 May. The cryptocurrency also crossed the market cap of $90 billion during the same week. Since then, DOGE has been in a constant decline.
