DOGE’s latest rally could be due to Coinbase announcing futures trading for the popular memecoin. Furthermore, DOGE’s OI (Open Interest) recently surpassed the $1 billion mark, currently at $1.57 billion. The increase in OI reflects investors’ positive interest in the memecoin.

DOGE has also seen an increase in whale activity over the last few days. Last week, transactions between $100,000 and $1 million increased by about 92% at one point.

Will Dogecoin (DOGE) continue to surge?

However, there is also a possibility that DOGE could continue on a bullish path. If Bitcoin (BTC) reclaims its all-time high, fuelled by its halving event, we may witness another market-wide rally. In such a scenario, DOGE may continue to surge.

Furthermore, Elon Musk recently announced that Tesla may soon begin to accept Dogecoin (DOGE) for its vehicles. If Tesla enables DOGE payments for its cars, we may witness a surge in the asset’s price.
