Dogecoin Whale Moves $973,010,200 In Crypto In One Transaction

Recent data shows that a Dogecoin (DOGE) whale just moved nearly $1 billion in crypto while paying less than a dollar in transaction fees.

According to Dogecoin blockchain explorer DogeChain, the deep-pocketed crypto investor relocated $973.01 million worth of DOGE to two different wallets in a single transaction.

The first wallet collected 80 million DOGE worth $13.78 million. A second wallet received 5.3 billion DOGE worth $913.09 million. For the first transaction, the whale spent just 4.49 DOGE in transaction fees. The crypto whale that initiated the massive transfer was the second-largest Dogecoin wallet in existence before the transaction, according to BitInfoCharts.

The outbound transaction dropped the large wallet to the 48th-biggest Dogecoin address as it now holds over 236 million DOGE worth about $40.8 million. The crypto investor holds 0.1785% of the total supply of DOGE.

The whale’s movements come after tech billionaire and Tesla CEO Elon Musk sent the popular dog-themed meme coin’s price skyrocketing last week after announcing that the electric car manufacturer would be accepting payments in DOGE for select merchandise. However, it remains unclear what items are available for purchase in Dogecoin.

According to the billionaire, DOGE is a better form of payment than Bitcoin.

“The total transaction flow that you can do with Dogecoin is substantially more than… like transactions per day [on Dogecoin] is much higher than, has much higher potential than Bitcoin.

[Dogecoin] is slightly inflationary, but that inflationary number is a fixed number as opposed to a percentage."

DOGE Price Is Expected To Reach These Levels

Looking at the Dogecoin price chart, we can see that DOGE has been quite bullish over the past couple of days. If buyers can retain control, we could see DOGE look to move past the 20-day SMA.
