Why Is It Moving? DOGE, along with rival token Shiba Inu (SHIB), traded higher even as major coins flashed red. The global cryptocurrency market cap decreased 0.3% to $2.29 trillion at press time.

DOGE attracted relatively low mentions on Twitter at press time, according to Cointrendz data.

The joke cryptocurrency was mentioned in 2,185 tweets, while the three most mentioned coins BTC, SHIB, and ETH attracted 7,850, 5,981, and 3,611 tweets, respectively.

On Wednesday, Dogecoin co-creator Billy Markus shared a diagram that illustrated “counterproductive tendencies” among some DOGE community members.
