Whales have become quite active at the beginning of 2023. Earlier, U.Today reported about 36.8 billion DOGE transferred by a big meme token holder.

Currently, the price of the original meme cryptocurrency is down by over 2% within the past 24 hours, but it has risen by 6.13% over the last seven days. Whales are likely to be either selling their DOGE or redistributing the meme coins among their wallets.

DOGE social sentiment soars – thanks to Elon Musk

Data recently published by on-chain analytics aggregator Santiment shows that the leading meme token has reached a peak in social media sentiment that had not been seen since October last year.

Back then, when this happened, DOGE’s price faced a massive rise by 160%.

🐶 This pattern of social volume and highly positive sentiment toward #Dogecoin perfectly illustrates how euphoria creates price tops. Regardless of your opinion on $DOGE, hype on this asset in particular historically foreshadows market corrections. https://t.co/vkUx1AAeix https://t.co/S0OKRaw0rW

In late October 2022, tech mogul Elon Musk finalized his deal to purchase Twitter social media giant to turn it into an “all-things app,” as he called it in his tweets prior to that. In the summer, he bought 9.2% of Twitter shares, thus standing to be the largest single shareholder of the company. Then, he began suggesting adding Dogecoin as a payment option for Twitter Blue and offered to buy Twitter for $44 billion.

Since then, the DOGE community has been hoping that after Musk gets control of Twitter, he would implement Dogecoin for micropayments for rewarding content creators.

However, now Twitter is busy creating a Coins feature that will allow sending tips to the content creators users like best. It remains to be seen whether it will be DOGE or an internal Twitter currency made specially for that.

At press time, DOGE is changing hands at $0.08682. In October, it soared to the $0.1216 level.

Earlier this week, Musk tweeted a photo of his Shiba Inu puppy named Floki, naming him the new CEO of Twitter. This pushed the DOGE price to a peak of $0.09 briefly.
