On the other hand, Dogecoin, which did not make it on the list in the first quarter, took a great leap and made it to the fifth position in 2021 Q2. In 2021, Dogecoin recorded increased adoption and recognition among members of the crypto community. Dogecoin started as a joke in 2013, but prominent names like Elon Musk and Mark Cuban have shown their support for the meme-coin, leading to its upsurge over the past months.
In addition to Dogecoin’s gain in 2021, several crypto exchanges, including eToro, listed the cryptocurrency, which increased its popularity. Some of the other exchanges that listed Dogecoin this year are Coinbase and Gemini. Also, the founder of FTX crypto exchange, Sam Bankman-Fried, named DOGE “asset of the year.”
Dogecoin continues to make waves among other cryptocurrencies. American financial services company Robinhood revealed in a filing for its upcoming IPO that it generated nearly $30 million in revenue from DOGE trading in 2021 Q1. At press time, Dogecoin is up 1.20 percent to $0.2161.
