Thumzup Goes All in on DOGE
Thumzup is also preparing to expand into Dogecoin mining with its proposed acquisition of DogeHash, which operates 2,500 active rigs and has 1,000 more on the way.
The company raised $50 million earlier this year to fund DOGE accumulation and hardware investments, making DOGE one of the best meme coins to buy in 2025.
The First DOGE ETF Launches
Thursday saw the debut of the REX-Osprey Dogecoin ETF (DOJE) on US exchanges alongside the first-ever investment product focused on the XRP token. Together, the two reached a total volume of $55 million with DOJE accounting for $17 million.
Sponsored by REX Shares and Osprey Funds, the ETF gained approval under the Investment Company Act of 1940, avoiding the lengthy approval process that delayed competitors like Grayscale and Bitwise.
DOGE Price Analysis: 2x Rally?
At press time, DOGE trades at $0.275, sitting near the middle of an ascending wedge pattern on the daily chart. The RSI stands at 62, reflecting healthy momentum without being overbought. Accumulation/distribution data shows a steady uptick as well.

If DOGE breaks above the critical $0.29 resistance, analysts like Ali Martinez believe it could accelerate toward $0.36, with an extended target near $0.45. Such a move would represent nearly a 2x surge from current levels.

However, failure to hold above support at $0.26 could drag DOGE back toward $0.23–$0.24, where buyers are likely to step in. A breakdown from this range could invalidate the bullish wedge and send the token lower.
