- Transactions on the Dogecoin blockchain surpassed those of Bitcoin and Ethereum combined.
- The increase affected the hashrate as more and more new tokens were minted.
Dogecoin [DOGE] witnessed a surge in transactions as it surpassed the daily tally of two million buying and selling activity on May 28. The rise means that the meme coin could surpass the numbers registered under the Bitcoin [BTC] And Ethereum [ETH] networks.
Realistic or not, here it is DOGE’s market cap in terms of BTC
DOGE surpasses the kings of the market
According to data from Blockchair, the non stop movement began around May 24 when the count was just over one million. But as the days passed, the transactions increased. This led to Dogecoin leaving the top two blockchains behind.

In the same period the highest daily transaction count of Ethereum amounted to 969,096. For Bitcoin, this was not the first time Dogecoin had overtaken it since the introduction of the DRC20 experiment.
This time it lagged behind Dogecoin and Ethereum, process about 490,000 transactions on that date. Again, the surge in transactions could be related to the burgeoning adoption of DRC20.
A few weeks ago, part of the Dogecoin community developed the token standard in response to Bitcoin Ordinals and BRC-20.
Although it called its own “Doginals” which still had no clear structure, the ability to store new tokens on the blockchain at a very cheap price compared to Bitcoin or Litecoins [LTC] LTC20 may have influenced the increase in activity.
Hashrates peak as development and NFTs face setbacks
Consequently, the increase in the number of transactions seems to have affected Dogecoin’s hashrate. The hashrate serves as an estimate of the amount of computing power provided when creating new blocks.
According to CoinWarzDogecoin’s hashrate moved closer to 1 PetaHash per second (PH/s) in the last 24 hours.

Despite some successes with the DRC20 trial, Dogecoin development activity declined. At press time, Santiment data showed that the metric had dropped to 0.119.
A simplification of development activity points to operators’ commitment to the blockchain to polish the network and implement upgrades. So the decline implied that a lot of that didn’t happen with Dogecoin.
However, it seemed that the adoption of fungible tokens has incredibly surpassed Dogecoin’s non-fungible sect. Based on Santiment’s data, NFT trading volume on the blockchain has been declining since May 21.
At the time of writing, the volume was $321,000. This means that interest in exchanging NFTs associated with the meme has declined.

How many Worth 1,10,100 DOGEs today?
Regardless of the wave of transactions, it should be remembered that the DRC20 token standard is still relatively new, with limited infrastructure.
While its introduction has generated widespread interest due to its cost-effectiveness, the number of transactions had declined at the time of going to press.
