Dogecoin, the leading meme cryptocurrency by market capitalization, has experienced a significant surge in futures market activity. Over the past 24 hours, the open interest in Dogecoin surged to $1.44 billion, suggesting heightened investor involvement in derivative trading. Data from CoinGlass confirms that 11.9 billion DOGE were committed to open interest during this period.
This latest increase marks one of the highest open interest levels for Dogecoin in recent months. Binance accounted for the largest share, with investors contributing 2.08 billion DOGE, valued at approximately $254.5 million. This represented 17.75 percent of the total open interest. OKX followed with 996.8 million DOGE, contributing 8.57 percent of the overall amount.
Derivatives Participation Reflects Speculative Sentiment
Other prominent exchanges, such as Bybit, KuCoin, and Gate, also reported notable figures. Open interest on Bybit totaled $109.8 million, while KuCoin and Gate recorded $24.14 million and $452.8 million, respectively. The widespread participation underscores the speculative interest around Dogecoin, despite the current price trend.
Dogecoin’s spot price has seen a slight decline of 2.73 percent in the last 24 hours. As of reporting time, DOGE is trading at $0.1228, according to CoinMarketCap. The drop came after positive trading activity earlier in the day, which later reversed direction. However, the rise in futures activity may hint at trader anticipation of a breakout.
Market Volume and ETF Development Draw Attention
Additionally, Dogecoin's trading volume continues to highlight ongoing community and investor engagement. The market remains active amid discussions around the potential launch of a Dogecoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) in the United States. Such a development could further legitimize the asset and influence its future performance.
