Dogecoin continues its assault on the cryptocurrency market cap ratings. So naturally, therefore, Wednesday was a DOGE day afternoon all over again. The meme coin successfully overtook XRP and became the fourth largest cryptocurrency.
Public hype
Though there is a lot of public hype surrounding Dogecoin, the data available suggests that a relatively few numbers of people are using this blockchain. Moreover, they are a substantial portion of its overall activity.
Dollar value
The dollar value of the coins sent across the Dogecoin blockchain on May 4th exceeded $58 billion. This figure is 70% higher than the amount transferred on Bitcoin ($34 billion) and 60% higher than Ethereum ($16 billion).
