Dogecoin has overtaken Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP in futures market activity, signaling a shift in trader attention toward the meme-inspired cryptocurrency, according to the latest data from CoinGlass.
Open interest in Dogecoin futures rose 5.09% over the past 24 hours, per CoinGlass. Open interest measures the total value of active derivatives contracts and is often used to track trader conviction and short-term market momentum. The surge comes as activity in major crypto futures cools.
While Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP have seen relatively flat or declining futures engagement, the uptick in DOGE suggests speculative interest is rotating into smaller-cap assets. The data does not specify dollar volumes or directional bias—whether traders are betting on price increases or declines.
This development highlights the persistent volatility and unpredictable demand cycles within the crypto derivatives market. Analysts caution that a single-day spike in open interest does not guarantee sustained rallies, as meme coins like Dogecoin are prone to sudden reversals.
No other major altcoins registered similar spikes in futures activity during the same period, according to the report.
