Both Ethereum (ETH) and Dogecoin (DOGE) are experiencing significant increases in their values during the summer of 2025, prompting investors to ask: which one has a better chance of doubling its value?
Market performance:
Ethereum has risen more than 50% in the last 30 days and is currently trading at $3700.
Dogecoin surged by 37% to reach a price of about $0.24.
But what lies behind these numbers? Let's dive deeper.
Ethereum: technology and institutions drive the rise
Ethereum is not just reliant on speculation, but on strong and lasting factors:
More than $4 billion has flowed into Ethereum exchange-traded funds since July 2.
The recent Pectra upgrade improved performance, reduced gas fees, and increased efficiency.
Ethereum dominates over 50% of the DeFi (decentralized finance) market.
Increasing demand against limited supply creates ongoing upward pressure.
All this makes doubling the price of Ethereum to $7400 a realistic goal in the coming months, without the need for massive speculative waves.
Dogecoin: a bet on the hype
On the other hand, Dogecoin rides a wave of hope and speculation:
Price recovery is driven by rumors of a potential ETF.
Does not have an integrated ecosystem (DeFi, smart contracts...).
A steady annual increase in supply (~5 billion DOGE), putting pressure on the price.
Heavily relies on community support on social media.
Yes, its price could double to $0.48 if the ETF is approved, but this growth is fragile and may not last.
Judgment: Which is the better option?
Ethereum is backed by institutional funds, strong technology, and sustainable growth.
Dogecoin is more of a "bet" based on good news and market sentiment.
Long-term investors will find Ethereum a safer and more stable opportunity for doubling returns.
