Interestingly, this wallet also received two large DOGE transfers on May 16 and 17, totaling 306.4 million coins valued at $47.5 million. Following a week-long pause, the last transaction was on May 9.

The unidentified cryptocurrency whale currently holds 1.6 billion DOGE, equivalent to $248.6 million.

Following the mysterious transfer, Dogecoin's price saw a significant increase, rising by 4.45% to $0.15676. A slight rebound followed, with DOGE now trading at approximately $0.1525.

Why It Matters: This isn't the first time large DOGE transfers have impacted the coin's price.

In March, a massive influx of 118.4 million DOGE to Robinhood sparked speculation and a price increase.

Similarly, in April, a transfer of 200 million DOGE from Robinhood to an unknown wallet fueled a surge in Dogecoin's value.

These events highlight the influence of large transfers on the meme coin's market dynamics.
