Whale Alert, a service that monitors the flow of coins across several blockchains, reported that an astonishing 386,082,773 DOGE, equivalent to $25,187,368, were transferred from one unidentified wallet to another on Thursday.

Interestingly, a more significant transfer happened the day the Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) CEO’s revival deal became public. The tracking services reported that 449,999,998 were transferred to another unidentified wallet, approximately $29,249,999, at the transfer time. In total, Whales have transported 836,082,771 DOGE, or nearly one billion, with an estimated worth of $54,345,380 based on these two significant transfers.
However, before the significant transfers by crypto whales, the market intelligence platform, Santiment, hinted that DOGE’s price climbed back by 9% to $0.065 in the previous 24 hours. It also added that whales were probably in it for profit-taking.
#Dogecoin is up a solid +9% in the past day and a half, and the #memecoin is still ranked as the 10th largest market cap asset in #crypto. Whale transactions and funding rates have just spiked, which are two great predictors of price direction change. https://t.co/k3voMpSH3k pic.twitter.com/uGi7Zg8Sig— Santiment (@santimentfeed) October 4, 2022
Additionally, these recent activities pushed up the seven-day price margin of DOGE by 4%, according to CoinMarketCap. Twitter also shares rose by 22% as Musk’s decision made news.
Notably, the meme coin still ranks tenth-largest crypto with a market of over $8 billion. Nonetheless, the crypto market is generally retracing to the red zones. In the last 24 hours, Bitcoin has slipped below the $20k price point.
