It’s been a rough couple of days for the major dog-coin.
Dogecoin, the original meme coin and one of the most valuable cryptocurrencies on the market, began the year with a hot streak, jumping from a price of$ 0.314 to just shy of$ 0.40 on January 7. But over the last two weeks, amid a broader market fall, DOGE shed every little of those profits.
On Thursday, DOGE fell back to$ 0.314, plunging by nearly 21 % in a matter of about two and a half days. Dogecoin is currently trading for$ 0.318, but it is only slightly ahead of what it was at the beginning of the year.
Dogecoin isn’t the only gold to quickly fall in recent days. In fact, Bitcoin plunged from a price above$ 100, 000 on Tuesday to a daily low of$ 91, 250 on Thursday, recovering only slightly to$ 91, 975 as of this writing.
In the bottom 10 bitcoin by market cap over the past year, DOGE isn’t even the biggest loser.
Solana, the lowest price it has ever been in 2025, is awarded with that distinction. It has dropped by 11 % this week to$ 184. Dogecoin and Bitcoin are both down about 6 % on the week, with Ethereum’s dip at nearly 8 % as of this writing.
According to mingled financial data and worries that there would be fewer interest rate cuts in 2025, bitcoin and other assets started falling on Tuesday. Fed meeting comments on Wednesday raised questions about the ability of President-elect Donald Trump’s incoming leadership to command U.S. prices.
Pricing dropped to Wednesday, allegedly spooking investors who had used ETFs to buy Bitcoin and Ethereum. On Wednesday, investors pulled virtually$ 569 million from Bitcoin ETFs and$ 159 million from Ethereum ETFs, which both had significant flows.
