Large Dogecoin holders have sharply reduced their on-chain activity, with whale transactions falling to their lowest level in more than two months, according to fresh network data shared by on-chain analyst Ali Martinez. Posting a Santiment chart on X, Martinez stated that “whale activity on the Dogecoin network has dropped to the lowest level in the past two months.” The chart tracks DOGE’s price against the number of transactions larger than $1 million. It shows frequent, tall spikes in high-value transfers in early October 2025, when price was oscillating near the upper end near $0.27. Dogecoin Whales Plummets Sharply On the day of the October 10 crash, the largest peak occurred when more than 280 Dogecoin whales made a transaction. This was followed by a progressive decline through late October and November. By November 29, the whale-transaction bar fell to 3 even as price trades around $0.15. The drop has sparked debate about what it signals for market structure and liquidity. Responding to Martinez, analyst account CryptoGames3D argued that “whale activity dropping on Dogecoin could mean one of two things: either whales are holding tight and waiting, or they’re stepping out of the game; both cases bring risk. With low liquidity from big holders, even modest selling could hit prices hard.” The comment underlines concerns that thinner participation from large entities can make order books more fragile if conditions turn.

In a separate post on November 29, Martinez outlined what he called “key levels for Dogecoin DOGE,” citing “support at $0.08” and “resistance at $0.20.” Those levels are mirrored in a Glassnode cost-basis distribution heatmap he shared, which maps DOGE’s price since early 2024 against realized price bands where supply last moved.

A highlighted range between roughly $0.07999 and $0.08145 contains about 27.37 billion DOGE, marking it as a major realized-price support zone. Higher up, a second but thinner band between approximately $0.20103 and $0.20470 holds around 12.22 billion DOGE, forming a significant resistance cohort. The color scale, running from about 5 million to 31 billion DOGE, emphasizes how pronounced the lower cluster is relative to other price areas. Taken together, the datasets present a tightly framed picture. DOGE is currently trading between a heavy long-term holder cost basis near $0.08 and a resistance pocket around $0.20, while the count of $1 million-plus transfers has compressed to a multi-month low. At press time, DOGE traded at $0.137. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com

The GENIUS Act promises safer, fully reserved dollar stablecoins and faster payments, but by steering issuers toward T-bills and cash, it may also hardwire a new demand engine for US debt.
What to Know: A 5% Bitcoin pullback and more than $500M in liquidations show how quickly overleveraged long positions unwind when volatility returns. Volatility spikes often drive traders out of crowded perpetual futures trades and into emerging Bitcoin-adjacent themes such as Layer-2 infrastructure and smart contract ecosystems. Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) is designed to close Bitcoin’s throughput and programmability gaps with an SVM-backed Layer-2 offering sub-second execution anchored to the Bitcoin base layer. Rising interest in Bitcoin-native DeFi and high-speed payment rails indicates that Bitcoin Layer-2 narratives may become increasingly influential in the next market cycle. Bitcoin’s latest Sunday Slam was a sharp 5% intraday drop with over $500M in liquidations, a reminder of how brutal leverage can be when volatility snaps back. Longs that looked safe on Saturday night were wiped out by Sunday afternoon, as cascading liquidations hit major derivatives venues. As a trader or longer-term holder, this kind of move is less about the exact candle and more about the narrative rotation it triggers. Every sharp drawdown tends to shake confidence in crowded trades and push capital toward new Bitcoin-adjacent themes that promise outsized upside relative to spot $BTC. 💡 That’s why we’re suddenly seeing more attention on Bitcoin Layer-2 infrastructure, especially projects that claim to unlock real programmability and throughput without abandoning Bitcoin’s base-layer security. Instead of chasing another overleveraged bounce, some dip-buyers are rotating into early-stage infrastructure plays that could outperform if the next leg up is driven by Bitcoin-native DeFi and smart contracts. Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) is beginning to surface as one of the more aggressive bets: a Bitcoin Layer-2 built around the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM), pitching sub-second execution and high-throughput smart contracts settled back to Bitcoin. ⚡️ As interest grows, we’re here to explain what Bitcoin Hyper is and why it’s dominating the narrative for traders hunting the next high-beta Bitcoin play. Why Volatile Drawdowns Push Capital Toward Bitcoin Layer-2s This 5% flush and half-billion in liquidations underlined how fragile overleveraged Bitcoin longs are whenever funding gets crowded. When volatility returns, it’s the perp traders – not long-term holders – who eat the first loss. And that shock often sends sidelined capital searching for cleaner, earlier-stage narratives tied to Bitcoin’s upside. Layer-2 projects have become a natural outlet for that rotation. They all promise to make Bitcoin more usable for payments, DeFi, or tokens, but each often makes trade-offs around trust, speed, or composability. Competing efforts are racing to offer low fees, programmable environments, and better user experience while still anchoring to Bitcoin’s settlement layer. ⚙️ In that landscape, Bitcoin Hyper is positioning itself as one of several emerging options, but with a very different tack: instead of building a minimalist scripting layer, it’s importing the Solana Virtual Machine model directly into a Bitcoin-secured Layer-2. For traders, that ties a familiar high-throughput smart contract stack to the oldest and most battle-tested base layer in crypto. Bitcoin Hyper Bets on SVM Speed Anchored to Bitcoin Security Where most Bitcoin scaling efforts focus on payments or simple scripting, Bitcoin Hyper is pitching something bolder: delivering Bitcoin’s reliability and Solana’s execution. ⚙️ The design uses Bitcoin’s Layer-1 for settlement and a real-time SVM Layer-2 for execution, targeting sub-second finality and low fees for complex dApps. On the execution layer, Bitcoin Hyper runs SVM-based smart contracts, meaning developers used to Solana’s tooling and Rust-based workflows can port or build DeFi, NFT, and gaming applications with minimal friction. SPL-compatible tokens are modified for this Layer-2 environment, while a decentralized canonical bridge is intended to move $BTC into wrapped representations for use in swaps, lending, and high-speed payments. 💰 That combination of throughput and familiarity appears to be resonating with early participants. The presale has already raised over $28.8M, suggesting meaningful demand for a Bitcoin-secured, SVM-powered environment. Smart money is moving, too. Whale buys include major purchases of $502.6K and $397K. Right now, $HYPER costs $0.013355 per token, and staking is at 40% APY. The next price increase, however, is just a few hours away. ➡️ Check out our guide to buying $HYPER to join the presale now. For dip-buyers who just watched overleveraged longs get wiped out, reallocating into an early Bitcoin Layer-2 narrative like $HYPER is one way to seek higher upside without simply reloading perps. If you believe the next Bitcoin cycle will be driven less by passive holding and more by on-chain activity, then a programmable, SVM-based Layer-2 becomes a clear speculative venue. 🚀 Ready to jump in?
