The whale now has a balance of over 709.2 million Dogecoin worth over $60 million, making it the 20th largest DOGE wallet in the world, according to BitInfoCharts.
The whale acquisitions come as social sentiment around Dogecoin increases, according to the crypto analytics firm. holyday.
Santiment points out that the crowd’s positive view of the memecoin is actually bearish for the asset.
