Whales drive Dogecoin's surge: Will $DOGE price reach $1 by 2025?

Dogecoin churned again, but this time, it wasn't retail traders making the noise. It's whales. On April 14, the DOGE whale collected over 800 million tokens in just one day, dropping nearly $128 million into the meme coin. Such a move does not happen without a reason. It usually means that large holders are positioning ahead of a potential change in momentum and signs are starting to emerge. Why are whales flocking to Dogecoin? There's a lot going on beneath the surface. Bloomberg analysts Eric Balchunas and James Seyffart now estimate there is a 75% chance that a spot Dogecoin ETF could be approved by 2025. This figure is second only to Bitcoin.

The SEC treats DOGE more like a commodity than a security — a big deal in a space where regulatory clarity remains scarce. This puts DOGE in a favorable position for future adoption by organizations. Add to that the cultural power behind Dogecoin. Elon Musk still advocates publicity, and it's the only widely recognized meme coin that can rival Bitcoin. Unlike Ethereum, which some investors still consider to be catching up to BTC, Dogecoin has its own attention—and story. Just last week, 21Shares became the third-largest institution, behind Grayscale and Bitwise, to apply for a DOGE ETF. It's not just the noise. The interest of organizations is growing, and whales have begun to act. DOGE Price Outlook – bullish divergence, but pay attention to the trendline From a technical point of view, Dogecoin is showing early signs that it may be preparing for a recovery. On the daily chart, the price has recently fallen lower, but the RSI (một lượng) alarm did not follow—it went higher. Such mismatches often imply that the downtrend may be losing momentum.

That being said, DOGE is still unclear. It remains stuck below the main trendline that has pushed prices down for weeks. Until it crosses that line, any short-term recovery may not last. It would also be no surprise if DOGE drops again to around $0.14, which could actually be a good thing if it forms a solid base there (đáy kép) before moving higher. As of today, DOGE has risen to around $0.7325, indicating strength in the short term. But for that move to be truly meaningful, we need to see strong buying volumes and proper breakout above the trendline. Can PEPE overtake DOGE by 2025? While DOGE may be positioning for a strong bull run, it's important to scale back. Dogecoin's huge market cap makes it less likely to deliver the insane 10x or 100x growth that early-stage investors typically pursue That's exactly why many high-risk, high-reward players have started switching to smaller, more volatile meme coins — and PEPE is at the top of that list. PEPE explodes into 2023, tapping into Ethereum's meme culture and quickly gaining traction with sky-high returns. But that proves that it's not just a passing trend

The coin remains highly liquid, developers are actively working behind the scenes and continue to dominate cryptocurrency discussions, especially in Asia, where it has gained significant growth momentum. The biggest advantage that PEPE has over the current DOGE is its scale. It's still in its early stages, a period of high price increases, giving it more space to run. In contrast, DOGE moves slower, safer, sure, but not overly aggressive when it comes to price increases. And there's one more thing—PEPE is fast. It adapts faster to market sentiment, spreading trends, and whale activity. In the meme money game, that speed can be everything. With meme money, timing and virality are just as important as the fundamentals, and PEPE continues to leverage both. Dogecoin is gaining momentum once again, this time backed by smart money flow and ETF speculation. Technical factors are taking shape and fundamentals are attracting attention. If it can hold the current levels and break the descending trend line, DOGE could reach $1 in 2025. But if you're chasing asymmetric gains, PEPE still has greater strength in terms of volatility and upside potential. This is the meme coin that has the most to prove — and the most to achieve — in this cycle. So, while DOGE may be a meme currency for institutions, PEPE can still be a currency for degenerates. And in crypto, both sides often end up winning, just at different times.
