Dogecoin, despite being held up around the $0.21 to $0.23 price zone, has seen its user base grow with adoption among crypto investors of all types. Notably, on-chain data shows that Dogecoin has now surpassed 8 million in terms of addresses holding a non-zero balance. On‑chain analytics from Santiment reveal that Dogecoin has risen from approximately 6.9 million holders earlier in 2025 to the latest 8 million milestone. Only Ethereum and Bitcoin exceed Dogecoin when it comes to user base size. Dogecoin Holder Count Keeps Surging The momentum behind Dogecoin’s adoption shows no sign of slowing down, and the number of addresses holding the meme cryptocurrency is now above 8 million. This trend in Dogecoin holders stems from the cryptocurrency increasingly becoming the go-to asset for many retail traders. This, in turn, has seen the number of Dogecoin holders continue to surge this year, especially as retail investors start to transition from other large market-cap cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, which many now argue is the crypto for institutions. Related Reading: 4-Year Cycle Says Dogecoin Price Will Reach $1, Here’s Why Although Dogecoin also saw a huge growth in the number of holders in 2024, the growth in 2025 is outpacing the trend seen in 2024, To put this into perspective, it took the whole year to add 1 million new DOGE holders in 2024, whereas in 2025, the same milestone has taken less than eight months. This is a substantial increase from about 6.9 million holders in the beginning of 2025. The latest figures place Dogecoin well ahead of other large market cap cryptocurrencies such as Cardano (ADA), Chainlink (LINK), and XRP, as well as major stablecoins including USDT and USDC, in terms of total holder count. Only Ethereum, with about 148 million addresses, and Bitcoin, with around 55 million, surpass Dogecoin’s adoption levels. DOGE Whales Continue Accumulating The steady increase in new Dogecoin addresses has been supported by a corresponding increase in whale accumulation. Trading data shows that large wallets have added more billions of Dogecoins in recent weeks. For instance, recent on-chain data shows that wallet addresses holding between 100 million and 1 billion Dogecoin recently added about 2 billion Dogecoin worth $448 million to their holdings within a week. At the institutional level, Bit Origin made headlines after committing $500 million to a Dogecoin treasury last month when the price was hovering around $0.24. Related Reading: Dogecoin Targets $1.25, But This 170% Move Is The Start Technical traders are also paying close attention. One analyst known as Trader Tardigrade pointed out that DOGE’s current chart setup is nearing the final stages of consolidation before a pump on the daily candlestick timeframe chart. If this pump were to manifest, the analyst projects a pump to $0.41 after breaking out of a triangular consolidation pattern. Interestingly, a longer-term analysis from the same analyst on the monthly candlestick timeframe chart shows that Dogecoin has built a support base and is ready for the next leg up that would take it to as high as $4. At the time of writing, Dogecoin is trading at $0.222, up by 4.3% in the past 24 hours. Featured image from Getty Images, chart from Tradingview.com

Bitcoin’s recovery attempt is drawing attention after a week of steady losses, with one market watcher warning of a deeper fall if the coin fails to push past the $120,000 region. Related Reading: Panic Or Profit? Analyst Says XRP Below $3 Is A ‘Massive Blessing’ The price of the world’s biggest cryptocurrency has already slipped by over 7% since touching $124,450 last week, raising doubts about the strength of its next move. Wave Structure Signals Critical Stage According to technical analyst CasiTrades, Bitcoin touched a low of $112,500 earlier today, a level that aligned with multiple timeframe targets. The move also came with bullish divergences on momentum indicators, which pointed to a short-term rebound. The analyst framed this drop as part of a corrective pattern, calling it Wave 1 of an A-wave. The next stage, labeled Wave 2, is expected to deliver a relief bounce. CasiTrades suggested that this move could carry Bitcoin back into the $119,900 to $121,900 zone. ???? They laughed & Bitcoin Delivered Exactly as Forecasted. Why the Next Move Matters Even More! ???? Following up on my last post, where I mapped out the A-wave targeting the major .382 retracement at $77K, we just completed Wave 1 of A with the recent low at $112,500. That was a… pic.twitter.com/cOn8rJ9OZL — CasiTrades ???? (@CasiTrades) August 20, 2025 If rejection happens there, the decline could intensify into Wave 3, with possible downside reaching as far as $88,000. Reports explained that the bearish scenario would be invalidated if Bitcoin could print a new all-time high beyond $124,500. That would necessitate a reset in the corrective setup, which would have bulls with more leverage in the short term. Altcoins Show Signs Of Rotation As Bitcoin struggles with resistance, bigger-cap altcoins have been exhibiting mixed action. CasiTrades thinks that traders may move into these assets in Bitcoin’s downtime, anticipating that they will make more considerable movements in the meantime. XRP, which dropped to $2.85 earlier in the day, has rebounded slightly and now trades at $2.90. That still leaves it down 1.30% over the last 24 hours. Ethereum is faring better, gaining 1.8% to trade at $4,269, while Solana added 2.5% to reach $183. Market watchers say this kind of rotation is not unusual. When Bitcoin stalls at major resistance levels, traders often chase higher returns in altcoins that carry more volatility. Related Reading: Ethereum Captures Investor Frenzy, Overtakes Bitcoin With Nearly $3-B Surge Uncertainty Ahead For Traders The focus remains squarely on the $120K–$122K area. A clean breakout would indicate that Bitcoin is gaining strength again, while rejection would validate CasiTrades’ expectation of a greater fall. They are now considering those possibilities, with some waiting to build up on dips and others opting to remain in wait-and-see mode until the picture becomes clearer. For the time being, the market is divided between anticipation of a rebound and fear of further correction. Altcoins are showing some relief with isolated areas of green, but the response of Bitcoin at resistance will tend to dictate the tone for the next few days.
