Recent data indicates a rapid increase in Dogecoin adoption, with 413,800 new DOGE addresses emerging over the past two weeks.
In a recent post on X, Santiment, an analytics firm, discussed a trend related to Dogecoin’s Total Amount of Holders metric. This metric monitors the total number of wallets holding any amount of DOGE at present.
Dogecoin’s Total Amount of Holders: Insights and Trends
When the Total Amount of Holders metric for Dogecoin increases, it can be due to a few reasons. Existing investors might create new addresses to diversify their holdings, impacting the indicator’s value. However, a more likely reason for the increase is adoption. As new investors enter the network, they create new addresses and add balance to them, thus boosting the total number of holders. This uptrend in the indicator can offer insights into the pace of cryptocurrency adoption. Conversely, a decline may suggest users are exiting the cryptocurrency as they clean out their wallets.
The chart displaying the trend in Dogecoin’s Total Amount of Holders over the past year reveals a notable increase. In the last couple of weeks alone, the number of addresses with a non-zero balance surged by 413,800, marking a growth of about 7.2% for the indicator.

Remarkably, this surge represents the fastest growth in Dogecoin’s history, despite its recent sideways price movement following a previous decline.
While sharp price rallies typically attract new investors, Dogecoin’s recent adoption surge has occurred amidst price stagnation. Nevertheless, adoption is generally viewed as a positive sign for any cryptocurrency, as a larger user base can contribute to sustainable price moves. However, the positive effects of increased adoption may only manifest in the long term.
