Benzinga - A dormant address holding more than 1.2 million Dogecoin (CRYPTO: DOGE) has been activated after 9.3 years of lying inactive.

This comes a day after Elon Musk replaced Twitter‘s famous blue bird logo with that of a Shiba Inu dog, the same breed that inspired the creation of Dogecoin.

What Happened: According to Blockchair, a crypto portfolio tracker, the Dogecoin wallet address in question contains 1,215,614 DOGE, which translates to approximately $116,460 at current market rates.

It is unclear why the whale address has chosen to reactivate their account after such a long period of inactivity.
