Dogecoin saw a significant drop as Bitcoin fell ahead of Mt. Gox repayments. The market downturn coincided with increased whale activity and liquidations.
On Friday, the cryptocurrency market faced notable declines, affecting major altcoins like Dogecoin. Whale Alert data showed large transactions: 400 million DOGE ($41.08 million) moved to Binance, with another 50.3 million DOGE transferred elsewhere, sparking sell-off speculation.
Billy Markus, Dogecoin co-founder (Shibetoshi Nakamoto), commented on Bitcoin’s decline, emphasizing its symbolic freedom value, which decreases with price drops.
