The total DOGS supply is 550 billion, with approximately 517 billion in circulation, representing about 94% of the total supply. Binance will classify DOGS with a seed tag, indicating it is a lower-liquidity asset that may experience greater price volatility.

Users holding assets with seed tags must pass periodic quizzes to confirm their understanding of the associated risks before trading.
