Whale Activity Spikes: $65M in Dogecoin Moves Amid Early 2026 Sell-Off
An anonymous whale moved 466 million DOGE, equivalent to approximately $65.3 million, between two unknown wallets. According to data from Whale Alert, this massive transfer occurred while the global crypto market was experiencing its first major correction of 2026. Unlike assets such as Bitcoin or XRP, which turned red following the New Year’s rally, Dogecoin showed remarkable resilience, maintaining a bullish tone that suggests strong conviction among large investors.

This spike in Dogecoin whale activity comes amid a shift in market sentiment. While most altcoins are facing profit-taking, the dog-themed token managed to record daily gains of nearly 1.42%, trading around $0.1466. Speculation suggests that this massive move does not represent an intent to sell, but rather strategic accumulation or a relocation of funds to capitalize on DOGE’s decoupling from the sector’s general downward trend.
The market will now be watching to see if this Dogecoin whale activity is the prelude to a new push toward the $0.20 psychological barrier. The sustainability of this advance will depend on whether the asset can maintain its trading volume while Bitcoin seeks to stabilize. For now, the anonymous nature of the receiving address “D6LM15E” maintains the mystery, but optimism is growing over the possibility that DOGE could lead the market’s next bullish leg.
