In 2013, Australian entrepreneur Jackson Palmer and software programmer Billy Markus invented Dogecoin as a “joke cryptocurrency.”
How it all started
Dogecoin’s first astounding price rally occurred in early March 2017, when the crypto market saw a significant increase in retail investment for the first time, causing alternative cryptocurrencies, otherwise referred to as altcoins, to rally significantly.

The parody coin rose more than 1,890% within 70 days, climbing from initial levels of $0.00021 to $0.0042 on May 21. The market cap subsequently rose to $423 million. Shortly after, during a two-week market correction that hit all cryptocurrencies, Dogecoin fell 75%.
In the first seven days of 2018, Dogecoin surpassed $0.02, a 380% increase over the previous peak. Its market capitalization jumped nearly four times to $1.6 billion at the time. However, this was only temporary, as the price plummeted by nearly 70% to $0.0047 in just eight days.
Dogecoin fanfare took off in 2021, with high-profile celebrities such as Tesla CEO Elon Musk (“The Dogefather”), Mark Cuban and others all jumping on the DOGE bandwagon. Aside from a few brief periods, such as trading around $0.02 in 2018, DOGE’s price largely traded below the $0.01 price point for much of its existence.
Fast forward to 2021, when Dogecoin rose to all-time highs of $0.74 in May and has declined nearly 90% since then. At the time of publication, Dogecoin was the 10th largest cryptocurrency with a market valuation of $10.57 billion, per CoinMarketCap data.
