Dogecoin Transaction Volume Increases Reactions
Meanwhile, the massive increase in Dogecoin’s daily transaction volume elicited reactions from many DOGE enthusiasts, who celebrated the achievement on various social media platforms.
Billy Marcus, the co-creator of Dogecoin, recently tweeted about the achievement, saying:
“Nice, the dogecoin blockchain transactions are spiking.”
The Drive Behind Dogecoin Transaction Volume?
A rise in a cryptocurrency’s daily transaction volume usually indicates increased interest in the asset class. It could imply that cryptocurrency enthusiasts are quickly selling or buying the cryptocurrency, increasing the number of daily transactions.
While it is unclear what caused the increase in Dogecoin daily transactions, some cryptocurrency holders attributed the increase to MyDoge Wallet’s latest initiative, a self-custodial Dogecoin wallet.
MyDoge Wallet announced yesterday that it had added memes to Dogecoin’s metaverse.
“MyDoge welcomes memes to the dogeverse! Come for the memes, stay for the shibes,” MyDoge noted in an announcement.
