Dogecoin experienced a significant event today as over 103 million DOGE were transferred from the now-defunct Bittrex exchange to an unknown wallet. This massive withdrawal, valued at approximately $11.2 million, comes after Bittrex announced its complete shutdown in November 2023 following the closure of its US operations.
While withdrawals from the bankrupt platform are allowed for users to recover their assets, this specific transfer does not appear to be a strategic trading move. It is more likely that the holder intends to store their Dogecoin in a private wallet for long-term holding, a common practice among cryptocurrency investors.
Despite this large transaction, Dogecoin’s price has continued its sideways trend. Currently trading at $0.1042 with a slight decline and a market capitalization of $15.16 billion, the meme coin has shown mixed signals. However, a surge in trading volume by 19.65% to $1.37 billion indicates growing investor interest. While Dogecoin is consolidating its position, its history of sudden price reversals keeps investors on their toes.
