In a surprising twist on the Dogecoin (DOGE) market, on-chain data has unveiled a significant shift in holder behavior. According to a recent analysis by IntoTheBlock, the largest Dogecoin whales have been steadily reducing their holdings over the past year.
The data reveals that the percentage of the total Dogecoin supply held by those owning more than 0.1% each has decreased from 45.3% to 41.3%.
This decline indicates that some of the largest holders of Dogecoin are lightening their positions, potentially altering the dynamics of the market.
