DogeDesigner, a prominent figure in the cryptocurrency community, has commented on Dogecoin’s DOGE/USD recent market behavior, indicating a bold move.
What Happened: On Friday, DogeDesigner took to X, formerly Twitter, and wrote, “Dogecoin woke up and chose violence today,” and attached a meme of Dogecoin’s iconic Shiba Inu dog clad in a Grim Reaper outfit and crossing a door that reads “$0.20.”

Dogecoin has surged over 48% in the last seven days, with its market capitalization rising to $31.33 billion.
More broadly, dog-themed meme coins have been on the uptrend. Dogwifhat WIF/USD rode the rally to become the third-largest meme coin by market capitalization, rising by 16% in the last 24 hours.
Why It Matters: The post coincided with a surge in Dogecoin’s value, as the meme-inspired cryptocurrency saw a 14% increase to $0.22, ahead of the Doge Day event on April 20.
Dogecoin’s ascent reflects a wider trend in the cryptocurrency market, particularly among altcoins. The meme coin’s surge occurred alongside a general uptick in the sector, triggered by Bitcoin’s climb past the $70,000 mark.
