The meme coin was hitting a record high of US42c yesterday afternoon. However, by the end of the day, Dogecoin fell by 17% and closed at US31c at 11:47 am.

Almost all other cryptocurrencies were in the green state this morning. In the past 24 hours, 36 of the top 100 coins on Coingecko achieved double-digit growth. Only four of the top 100 coins have lost, and the decline is not significant.

Despite the decline, Dogecoin has risen by 234% in the past seven days. It makes the coin one of the top 100 best performing tokens during the period.

Dogecoin has a market value of 51.8 billion U.S. dollars, ranking sixth after Tether and second only to other companies on ASX except for 11 companies.
