Retail investors have abandoned Dogecoin after its price rout?

The Dogecoin Twitter account with 2.1M followers retweeted the post of AMC CEO Adam Aron as well as tagged billionaire Elon Musk and Mark Cuban to increase the coverage of this meme coin. However, this attempt is unlikely to succeed as its popularity has now plummeted.

Interest in Dogecoin plummets as price has nothing outstanding

The official Twitter account of Dogecoin recommended that Aron should talk to Musk and Cuban, who are also great meme coin supporters. “They have seen much wow,” the tweet states, hinting at their love of DOGE.

Although constantly mentioned yesterday and today, the situation of DOGE is still not much better. First, without discussing the price, according to CryptoCompare, the number of daily transactions on their network has dropped to just 18,000. It hit its lowest level since 2017 after peaking at more than 140,000 in April.

Daily transaction rate is one of the fundamental on-chain metrics that reflect blockchain usage. Then, in terms of price, DOGE also recorded a drop of about 71% from its May 8 all-time high of $0.73.

Furthermore, Google searches for the term “Dogecoin” have dropped to their lowest level since late January. Search for the keyword “Dogecoin price” hit the 4th bottom on September 22, in the midst of a bear market.
