Dogecoin Hashrate Surges To New All-Time High Amid Rise In Positive Momentum
The Dogecoin hash rate has spiked sharply, reaching new all-time highs. This bullish development reflects increasing network activity and miner participation. The surge also aligns with the recent positive shift in Dogecoin’s momentum, which favorable market conditions and sentiment have bolstered.
Dogecoin Hashrate Reaches New ATH
Dogecoin mining activity is experiencing a major upsurge, as its hash rate recently hit a new ATH. This impressive milestone indicates strong network security and growing miner confidence in Dogecoin.
Crypto analyst Master Kenobi announced this bullish development in an X (formerly Twitter) post on November 20. The analyst revealed that over time, DOGE mining activity could become more profitable, more stable and less taxing for miners than Bitcoin mining.
Master Kenobi’s analysis is especially notable due to Bitcoin’s cyclic halving events, which occur every four years and cut the rewards of miners in half. The Bitcoin halving also decreases the rate at which new coins are available, thus reducing its supply while also resulting in lesser profits for Bitcoin miners.
Without halving events like Bitcoin, Master Kenobi reveals that Dogecoin offers more predictable rewards and facilitates long-term stability for miners. Moreover, this stability can potentially boost the meme coin’s value and strengthen its network security, thereby improving trust in its ecosystem.
The Dogecoin hash rate is calculated based on the number of calculations performed per second to solve a hash on the blockchain. At the time of the ATH, DOGE’s hash rate was at 1.5 PH/s. However now its hash rate has increased slightly to 1.52 PH/s.
Interestingly, the spike in Dogecoin’s hash rate to new ATHs comes as the meme coin records a surge in momentum. Over the past few weeks, Dogecoin has experienced triple-digit gains, recording a price increase of more than 169% just this month. CoinMarkeCap’s data also shows that the price of the meme coin is currently trading at $0.385.
This price surge has caught the attention of the crypto market, and with the increase in hash rate, Dogecoin is steadily solidifying its position as the number one meme coin in the crypto market.
DOGE Mining Vs. Bitcoin Mining
In his X post, Master Kenobi reveals that Dogecoin and Bitcoin operate on fundamentally different networks. Each cryptocurrency uses distinct hashing algorithms, making mining compatibility between both ecosystems virtually impossible.
While DOGE operates on the Scrypt algorithm, which is optimized for a different class of Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs), Bitcoin, on the other hand, relies on the SHA-256 algorithm, which requires ASICs specifically designed for its type of hashing.
This notable distinction prevents miners from switching between networks, bolstering the independence of each blockchain network. Additionally, the difference in hashing algorithms ensures no overlap in hardware utility and prevents the risk of a network being compromised by others’ mining resources. This ultimately improves security for both the Dogecoin and Bitcoin ecosystems.

DOGE price eyes a potential breakout ahead, with top experts echoing a similar sentiment for the dog-themed meme coin. For context, in a recent X post, Real Vision CEO and Founder Raoul Pal said that Dogecoin is likely gearing up for a rally ahead. In addition, this development also comes as Elon Musk has shared new developments to enhance the efficacy of the Department of Government Efficiency (D.O.G.E.)
DOGE Price Rallies As Elon Musk Prioritizes D.O.G.E. Efficacy
DOGE price continued its run towards the north on Friday, further highlighting the growing confidence of the investors towards the top meme coins. Amid this, Real Vision founder Raoul Pal, a prominent figure in the crypto world, predicts a potential rally for Dogecoin ahead, saying that it is in the “Great Banana Rotation” along with SUI. In a recent X post, Pal stated:
I think next in the Great Banana Rotation is $SUI and $DOGE and probably that token that you hold too.
Meanwhile, Pal previously explained the Banana Zone, emphasizing the importance of core allocations in top-tier assets like BTC, ETH, and SOL. He advises investors to keep 90% of their portfolio in solid assets like BTC and top altcoins while allowing 10% for riskier plays like meme coins.
However, Pal warns against overtrading and leverage, stressing the need to protect investments. With Pal’s prediction, DOGE holders are optimistic about the meme coin’s future performance.
Elon Musk Outlines D.O.G.E. Plan
In addition, the DOGE price rally also comes as Elon Musk has prioritized enhancing the efficacy of the Department of Government Efficiency (D.O.G.E.). Notably, Donald Trump appointed Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to lead the D.O.G.E., which has sparked optimism in the market.
Besides, the department’s short form also resembles the Dogecoin ticker, which has also sparked a rally in the crypto’s price. Additionally, Musk has been a vocal supporter of the meme coin, as evidenced by his previous social media comments, which have also caught the eyes of the traders.
Now, Musk and Ramaswamy have outlined plans to increase the efficacy of the department. According to a recent WSJ report, they have planned to end the remote work culture at the federal office, in an effort to trim the government spending. The two entrepreneurs said that ending the remote work culture would cause a mass resignation, which would aid them in achieving their goal of establishing a small but efficient government.
Dogecoin To Hit $2.4?
DOGE price today was up more than 2% and exchanged hands at $0.3941, while its one-day trading volume was near the flatline at $8.60 billion. Notably, the token has touched a 24-hour high of $0.3996, and CoinGlass data showed that Dogecoin Futures Open Interest rose nearly 9%, indicating strong market confidence.
Besides, recent on-chain metrics and other market trends also indicate that Dogecoin is poised to continue its parabolic run ahead alongside SHIB and other meme coins. Amid this, a popular crypto market analyst, Ali Martinez has shared a bullish forecast for DOGE price.
Meanwhile, Martinez has recently highlighted the growing Dogecoin whale activity, which indicates that the crypto is poised to rally ahead. His X post showed that whales have bagged more than 550 million DOGE over the last week, valued at around $214.5 million.
In addition, the analyst has shared a DOGE price chart, which showed that the crypto is likely to hit $2.40 in the coming days. Besides, he also predicted that once the meme coin hits the $2.40 target, the next target for the crypto will be $18, sparking market optimism.

The largest crypto derivatives exchange Deribit on Friday said it will integrate Ethena’s synthetic dollar USDe as margin collateral. It will enable users to earn rewards for holding USDe and use it as derivatives margin collateral in cross-collateral pool.
Ethena and Deribit Partners to Launch USDe as Rewarding Margin Collateral
Deribit, the leading crypto options and futures exchange, plans to integrate Ethena’s USDe as margin collateral. The exchange revealed that the goal is to include USDe in its cross-collateral pool as of early January. However, it still awaits regulatory approval from the authorities
“We are excited to announce the upcoming integration of USDe as rewarding margin collateral on Deribit” said Ethena Labs.
All users can earn rewards for holding USDe. Also, it can be used as derivatives margin collateral in a cross collateral pool. USDe as margin collateral is currently available on Bybit, Bitget and Gate crypto exchanges. Users can use USDe as a part of single or multi-exchange derivatives strategies, while earning rewards by holding the synthetic dollar.
Guy Young, founder of Ethena Labs, said: “This integration of USDe within the cross collateral pool at unlocks completely new structured product use cases not previously possible on CEXs with vanilla stablecoin collateral.”
Young expects this will become one of the most important venues for USDe use cases as Deribit holds 85% of market share within the options space. Also, he believes the USDe integration on the derivatives exchange will attract both TradFi and crypto-native trading firms.
ENA Price Rockets 20%
Amid Deribit’s USDe integration news, ENA price skyrocketed more than 20% in the past 24 hours. The price currently trades at $0.62, with a 24-hour low and high of $0.516 and $0.620, respectively. Furthermore, the trading volume has shot up by 78% in the last 24 hours, indicating a rise in interest among traders.
Last month, Ethena proposed adding Solana and its liquid staked variants (BNSOL and bbSOL) as reserve assets for backing USDe. Recently, the company integrated sUSDe into Aave to enable billions of borrowing and APY of up to 30%.
