The price of XRP and DOGE Looking at the charts of the two cryptos Ripple (XRP) and Dogecoin (DOGE), it appears that both are following the bullish trend of bitcoin, at least over the last 7 days.
Specifically, XRP is now worth $0.52, while DOGE is worth $0.063. In total, both have seen a price pump of +5% over the past seven days. However, the monthly picture is different. While XRP is pumping +5%, DOGE is in a similar situation.
XRP has already returned to its pre-SEC win price levels. In fact, it was on the 13th of July that XRP jumped from $0.47 to $0.81. From the following month until today, XRP has already returned to $0.50.
DOGE, Elon Musk’s favourite memecoin, does not seem to have had a frothy 2023 in terms of prices. On the contrary, an analysis last month showed that DOGE is the second most popular alternative to bitcoin this year.
Basically, based on searches made by users around the world on Google and excluding bitcoin, DOGE was found to be the most popular after Ethereum.
