Dogecoin saw a surge in whale activity and wallet usage, outperforming Bitcoin by 41.12% and 34.91% in large transactions and active addresses, respectively, according to IntoTheBlock. In contrast, Bitcoin declined in both metrics despite a broader market rebound. Still, Bitcoin led in price and trading volume with a 3% gain and 206.23% volume spike. DOGE rose only 0.69% in price but saw a 71.4% volume jump. Optimism grows around DOGE thanks to ETF speculation and Doge Day celebrations. Investors hope the SEC may approve a DOGE ETF as early as May 18.
