Whales taking DOGE for a swim
According to Santiment on 31 January, the transaction count for whales rose.
🐶 #Dogecoin has broken out with major whale transactions today, easily the highest of the year, going along with address activity spiking. The polarizing coin is up +40% since December 29th, and is back above $0.095 for the first time since December 10th. https://t.co/NjeLyhFKe2 pic.twitter.com/AWEOtqD1ax

Addresses involved in the whales’ transactions exchanged more than $100,000 worth of DOGE tokens. As of this writing, there were over 70 trades for more than $100,000. However, the previous day saw about 300 whale transactions – a record-high number.
The fact that whales moved this much for the first time in over a month—aside from one day in December—made these trades noteworthy.
