Dogecoin (DOGE) has gained more than 29,000 new wallets since January 1, according to on-chain analysis firm Santiment. The firm shared its findings earlier today (January 10) via X, alongside data showing how other major cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), XRP, Cardano (ADA) and Chainlink (LINK), have fared in terms of new wallet growth. Dogecoin Hodlers On The Rise \u201cAs 2025 has kicked off with roller coastering prices for crypto\u2019s top assets, the amount of hodlers have fluctuated wildly since the new year,\u201d Santiment writes via X, adding: \u201cIf wallets are rising fast, the community is comfortable in the project for the long-term. If wallets are dropping, there may be some excess FUD that indicates an opportunity to buy (as a contrarian to the panicking crowd).\u201d Related Reading: Dogecoin Hits A \u2018Blood In The Streets\u2019 Moment: Buy Or Sell Now? Santiment\u2019s chart indicates that both Ethereum and XRP have seen significant holder gains at the onset of 2025. The firm observed a +645K jump in Ethereum wallets, while XRP recorded +58K. Meanwhile, Bitcoin maintained a +102K bump, and Cardano notched a more modest +2.8K climb. Notably, Chainlink holder numbers have dropped by 3.3K in the same time frame. \u201cXRP\u2019s and Ethereum\u2019s wallets keep growing in number, Chainlink\u2019s are dropping, Cardano\u2019s are finally showing positive turn-around,\u201d the on-chain analytics firm noted. Trend line annotations show that XRP holders have grown by 1.0% since the start of 2025, Ethereum holders by 0.5%, and Cardano by 0.1%. In contrast, Chainlink has dipped by 0.5%. While the chart doesn\u2019t show a specific number for Dogecoin, there\u2019s a clear and strong uptrend. However, Santiment\u2019s in-depth analysis points out a notable decrease in overall trading volumes across the crypto landscape since mid-December 2024. Meme coins like Dogecoin, in particular, have been impacted, seeing a drastic reduction in speculative-driven trades. \u201cDespite several bullish developments, overall trading volumes across the cryptocurrency market have been declining since mid-December 2024,\u201d Santiment explains. The firm reports that daily trading volume for the top 10 cryptocurrencies has dropped by an average of 13% over the past two weeks, with Ethereum experiencing the steepest decline at 17%. Exchanges such as Binance and Coinbase show spot trading volumes down by 15% and 12%, respectively, which analysts attribute to seasonal factors, diminished whale activity and uncertainties regarding impending regulatory changes.

Currently, the 30-day returns for most active wallets across top assets are in negative territory, suggesting potential opportunities for contrarian buyers. As reported yesterday, Dogecoin\u2019s MVRV is at -8.89%, display a \u201cblood in the streets\u201d moment. \u201cAmong top caps and the vast majority of altcoins, average traders active over the past 30 days are down in their portfolios by a fairly sizeable margin\u2026 This means that adding on to your position or opening a new position are mathematically less risky than usual,\u201d Santiment noted. Looking forward, Santiment emphasizes a multifaceted market environment influenced by regulatory changes, institutional strategies and varying degrees of risk appetite. The firm calls attention to pro-crypto sentiment in the incoming Trump administration, tighter regulations in global markets and the evolving role of large-scale investors (\u201cwhales\u201d) in shaping price dynamics. \u201cWe recommend watching closely to see how whale behavior transpires, and how much \u2018blood is in the street,\u2019\u201d Santiment stated. \u201cCryptocurrency is a zero-sum game, even if it often feels as though the mostly bullish community are all making and losing money together.\u201d DOGE’s Technical Picture From a technical perspective, Dogecoin has mirrored Bitcoin\u2019s recent trajectory, experiencing a dip below crucial Fibonacci levels on the 4-hour chart. DOGE slipped beneath the $0.373 mark (0.5 Fibonacci level), considered a major support in lower time frames, and then tested the $0.346 threshold (0.382 Fib). Price action ultimately found temporary relief at the 0.236 Fib line near $0.314, where DOGE bounced, again tracking Bitcoin\u2019s rebound. Reclaiming the 0.382 Fib (approximately $0.346) is critical to regaining bullish momentum; a failure to do so might open the door to further declines toward $0.26\u2014last seen on December 20, 2024.
