Dogecoin’s Uptober Surge: Whales and ETF Hype Fuel a Meme-Coin Revival (Oct 3–6, 2025)
Dogecoin traded near $0.26 in early October 2025, up 21% month-on-month, with market cap close to $25 billion and daily volumes reaching $4 billion. Large holders added about 30 million DOGE, pushing the price above $0.27. Developers announced plans to integrate zero-knowledge proofs, fueling speculation of a further rally. The SEC reaffirmed DOGE is not a security, and a new DOGE fund drew up to $26 million in its first week.
