DOGE

Dogecoin is the original memecoin, launched in 2013. It was unheard of until 2020-21, when it caught the attention of major celebrities, including Tesla founder Elon Musk. Since Dogecoin's explosive rise in the last bull run, it has inspired thousands of copycat memecoins - including highly successful ones like Shiba Inu.

Dogecoin is up more than 80% in the past 12 months, with the biggest gains since late February 2024. Memecoins have always performed well when the crypto market is hot, and this is the case now.

Moreover, at this point, Dogecoin is more than just a memecoin. It is widely accepted for payment in the crypto world and increasingly in the real world as well.
