- Dogecoin processed 1.93 million transactions for the first time since July.
- The press time market conditions suggested growing favorability and potential for further gains.
According to IntoTheBlock, Dogecoin processed 1.93 million transactions the previous week, marking the highest weekly transaction count since early July.
The last two months have witnessed a decline in transaction count. Over this period, the memecoin’s price charts have also struggled to surge.
However, the past week saw DOGE hit a high of $0.108, which was accompanied by a spike in transactions.
This increase in the transaction means a promising future for the Dogecoin network, although it remains below February peak levels.
In context, an increase in transaction count suggests that Dogecoin’s network is actively utilized, which further strengthens its network fundamentals.
Thus, the growing activity reflects increased adoption or renewed interest in Dogecoin as a payment method or for its ease of use in transactions.
