As per IntoTheBlock’s market intelligence platform, the number of DOGE holders has reached an all-time high of 3.18 million addresses, representing 74.66% of all Dogecoin wallets. The trend indicates that DOGE’s investor base has been steadily increasing since the beginning of the year.
The data analytics platform reveals that 61% of DOGE holders are in profit, while 34% are in the red, with only 5% breaking even.
Just recently, Elon Musk‘s lawyers have filed a motion in the Manhattan federal court to dismiss a lawsuit that accuses the Tesla CEO of operating a pyramid scheme to prop up Dogecoin, Reuters reported on Friday.
The lawsuit brought about by Dogecoin investors is a "fanciful work of fiction" that is based on his "innocuous and often silly tweets" about the meme coin, the lawyers reportedly wrote in a court filing late Friday.
Price Action: At the time of writing, DOGE was trading at $0.077, down 8.27% in the last 24 hours, according to Benzinga Pro data.
