Dogecoin surged nearly 9%, breaking past resistance with over a billion tokens exchanged. Support adjusted to $0.242 after an initial breakout, while late-session trading pushed DOGE into the $0.254 range before settling.
Analysts noted SHIB’s concurrent 6% increase — supported by record turnover of a trillion tokens and exchange balances at two-year lows — as additional proof of institutional interest in meme-coins.
News Background
DOGE rose by 8.8% within the 24 hours from Oct. 1, 03:00 to Oct. 2, 02:00, advancing from $0.23 to $0.25. This movement was driven by speculation about U.S. ETF approvals and significant institutional investment positions.
Similarly, SHIB experienced a 6.2% spike during the same timeframe, with exchange reserves hitting multi-year lows, indicating a decrease in available supply as meme-coins attracted increasing interest.
