There has been a notable shift in the ownership structure of Dogecoin (DOGE), as the number of DOGE millionaires has decreased by 40% in the last year. The situation in 2022, when the meme coin had over 1,000 addresses holding substantial DOGE holdings, differs greatly from these most recent numbers.
There has been a significant shift in the distribution of DOGE holdings, with fewer millionaires in the DOGE ecosystem. According to data from BitInfoCharts.com, there are presently 548 DOGE investors that have a balance of $1 million or more.
The decline in DOGE millionaires is linked to factors like adjustments to trading patterns, investment behavior, and the market mood. Moreover, the information shows that 87 addresses in the DOGE network had balances greater than $10 million.
Distribution Of Wealth, Other Factors Blamed For Recent Development
The DOGE community has actively participated in several efforts, including social media campaigns, internet memes, and philanthropic cause support. Speaking on this trend, Elmaz Sabovic from the Finbold platform observed that there have been changes in the distribution of wealth, which are frequent as the cryptocurrency market develops and adapts.
Recall that in April 2021, Yahoo News had it that more than 65% of DODGE was distributed among 98 unknown wallets while holding 28% of total Dogecoin. Five of those 98 wallets had 40% of the coin’s total supply. It was also revealed that about 100 holders control $46 billion worth of DODGE.
In an interview with Akand Sitra in 2021, a cryptocurrency risk manager with TRM Labs, referred to the Dogecoin holding process as a “scam.” Sitra explained that the plan is to hold as much coin as possible until traction is created.
One of the DODGE developers, Ross Nicoll in his past interview with Decrypt had said that his team is working on many serious projects that will likely increase the influence of the coin, an event that is believed to be responsible for the new surge in the number of Dodge millionaires.
Analysis Recall Dogecoin’s Past Plummeting Development, As Trading Goes Low
Information has it that the number of Dodge millionaires has decreased in recent years. The reason for the development has been tagged as a drop in the value of Dodge in the previous years. Records have shown that the number of Dodge millionaires went down by 50% from the 1st of November, 2022, from $0.15 to $0.08.
The bearish momentum also extended to coins like PEPE, SHIB, and FLOKI, which also declined in value. Recent analysis from Finbold shows that DODGE’s value has forced down the total number of addresses by over a million dollars, declining the number of holders from 887 to 548. The number of holders possessing coins worth 10 million as of 2022 had declined from 160-87.
At the time of writing, the price of Dogecoin was heading to $0.08 after declining by -1.75% in the last 24 hours. This is contrary to what it was in the past week’s market activities, which had an 8% growth, including the change in market activities in the last 30 days, which cumulatively amounts to a 32.78% increase in the value.
Dogecoin market capitalization failed by 2.33% to reach $10,864,323,478, while the trading volume recorded a 23.07% decline to hit $705,335,774, all in 24 hours. However, as recorded by CoinMarketCap, Dogecoin’s circulating supply is 141,813,726,384 DOGE.
