Dogecoin whales collect 270 million DOGE
The recent drop in Dogecoin’s price has prompted large-scale investors, commonly referred to as “whales,” to accumulate more tokens. Prominent crypto analyst Ali Martinez leaked in an X (formerly Twitter) job On Tuesday, Dogecoin whales purchased a whopping 270 million DOGE tokens in the last five days.
This massive purchase of 270 million DOGE is part of a broader accumulation trend seen across the meme coin network. Since November, Martinez has recorded whales buy hundreds of millions of DOGE during the downtrend.
On December 21, the analyst revealed that Dogecoin whales had purchased 250 million DOGE during the recent market decline. The bold move was made as investors viewed DOGE’s decline as a favorable entry point, a behavior often associated with larger players purchasing tokens at a lower price in hopes of long-term gains.
The recent DOGE whale buying frenzy could indicate strong confidence in the future of the coin. Martinez also expressed optimism about the price prospects of the same coin, highlighting in a previous X article, DOGE could see another parabolic rally to an ATH of $20.
Even though the bullish sentiment for DOGE price remains strongDogecoin whales are taking advantage of current market conditions and falling prices to increase their assets and prepare for a possible rally. With Dogecoin currently priced at $0.33, the recent purchase of 270 million DOGE is valued at approximately $89 million.
