Dogecoin’s latest move is drawing capital back into meme coins. DOGE price is up more than 10% over the past week, briefly traded above $0.11, and was recently changing hands near $0.108 despite Bitcoin’s pullback. At the same time, DOGE futures open interest has reached a year-to-date high, pointing to renewed speculative positioning in the sector.
That shift has mattered beyond DOGE itself. The broader meme-coin market cap has climbed nearly 12% over the last 30 days while much of the wider crypto market has moved sideways. One beneficiary is Maxi Doge (MAXI), whose presale has raised $4.75 million as traders look for earlier-stage exposure to the same theme.
Dogecoin’s latest breakout followed a multi-week consolidation and came with heavy volume, as traders rotated into higher-beta assets. The move has also stood out because DOGE outperformed Bitcoin during a period of broader market softness.
Futures activity reinforces that signal. Open interest in DOGE futures is now at its highest level in 12 months, indicating fresh capital entering the trade from both retail and institutional participants.
Crypto analyst CW said on X yesterday afternoon that Dogecoin’s current advance may still be in its early stages, pointing to a longer-term technical setup with DOGE rebounding from the $0.10 support area.

The result has been a broader lift across the meme segment. Sector gains of almost 12% over the past month have pushed attention toward dog-themed tokens in particular, including projects that are still in the funding stage.
Maxi Doge Draws Presale Demand as Traders Chase Early Exposure
Maxi Doge (MAXI) has raised $4.75 million in its ongoing presale, benefiting from the renewed focus on speculative meme-coin trades. The project is built around a doge-themed brand tied to high-leverage trading culture, aiming to capture the same retail energy that often accelerates during meme-coin rotations.

MAXI is currently priced at $0.00028160, with 40% of total supply allocated to presale buyers. The project also offers staking rewards advertised at 65% APY, paid from a dedicated pool on a daily basis. According to its materials, holders will also be eligible for post-launch community contests, while a Maxi Fund is intended to back marketing efforts and futures platform partnerships. The roadmap targets a transition from the presale to DEX and CEX listings.
In the current market context, that positioning links Maxi Doge directly to the DOGE-led return of meme-coin risk appetite. With the presale approaching its $5 million target and another price step expected within days, the project is being pitched as a way to gain exposure before listing.
