Dogecoin Sees 72% Surge in New Addresses Amid Mixed Market Sentiment

Dogecoin is experiencing a significant boost in new investor interest, as recent data reveals a remarkable 72% increase in new daily addresses on its network.
Crypto analyst Ali Martinez highlighted that this surge brings the average to about 11,500 new addresses daily, with a notable spike to 19,630 on September 30, coinciding with a rise in Dogecoin’s price.
The overall activity on the Dogecoin network also showed improvements, with daily active addresses climbing to 58,180, up 37.23% from the previous week.
However, a concerning trend emerged with a 46.25% increase in non-zero addresses, which indicates some wallets may be consolidating or selling their DOGE holdings.

This uptick in metrics may stem from a generally positive sentiment in the crypto market as October begins, a month that has historically favored Dogecoin’s price movement.
Despite these optimistic trends, DOGE’s price has recently dipped over 5%, contradicting expectations for growth. Historical data shows that October has an average return of 7.28% for DOGE, which, while positive, pales in comparison to more bullish months like January and April.
