Dogecoin (DOGE) Explodes $8% Daily, Bitcoin (BTC) Continues Trading Sideways (Weekend Watch)
Dogecoin is among the few altcoins with impressive gains over the past 24 hours.
Bitcoin’s untypical lack of volatility continues as the asset has failed to move during the weekend from the $41,500 mark.
Most altcoins are also quite sluggish now, with minor gains seen from the likes of ETH, SOL, XRP, BNB, and ADA.
BTC’s Stagnation Continues
The ETF approvals from last week came amid enhanced volatility that saw BTC going up and down by several thousand dollars. The peak came on Thursday when the products reached the US financial markets, and Bitcoin skyrocketed to a 21-month high of $49,000.
Hours later, though, all gains were erased, and a further dump to $41,500 came on Friday evening. As Saturday arrived, the cryptocurrency recovered a portion of its losses and stood at around $43,000. Since then, there have been very few actual price movements.
In fact, BTC has remained at around and below that level for the past week. This weekend has been quite uneventful as well, with the asset struggling to overcome $42,000.
Its market capitalization remains at just over $815 billion, and its dominance over the alts sits quietly below 50%.
DOGE Takes The Main Stage
Most alternative coins have also been sluggish within the same weekly timeframe. The past 24 hours have brought minor gains for the larger caps such as ETH, SOL, XRP, BNB, ADA, DOT, and TRX – all of which have increased by around 1%.
Avalanche, Toncoin, and Polygon have jumped by around 3% each. Dogecoin, though, has taken the main stage with an 8% surge. As a result, the OG meme coin currently sits above $0.085.
More gains come from the likes of Ronin, PYTH, SC, and ASTR, with double-digit increases.
The total crypto market cap has erased yesterday’s losses and is up to $1.640 trillion on CMC.

The "Eye of the Storm" in the Global Economy: Debt Crisis in Developed Countries
The IMF warns that developed economies are becoming the "eye of the storm" for global debt risks. Countries such as the United States and France accumulated high levels of debt during periods of low interest rates, but now rising interest rates are pushing up repayment costs, and fiscal consolidation faces political resistance. BofA Securities points out that the United States is facing declining tax revenues, France has structural income decline issues, and the UK and Japan are also under pressure. The deteriorating debt sustainability of developed countries may impact global financial markets through shocks in interest rates and capital flows.
