Dogecoin’s recent price action has also been fueled by speculation over a potential ETF. Data from Polymarket shows that the odds of the SEC approving a DEOG ETF by year-end are placed at 51%.

This move could bring in institutional capital, which could impact the market significantly.

The meme token’s integration with Coinbase’s (NASDAQ:COIN) Base network is also bringing wrapped DOGE to decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystems on a large scale for the first time. This integration will enhance the token’s functional value and utility within DeFi platforms.

Dogecoin has also attracted high-volume support at critical levels, which could signal that institutional investors are accumulating the token. However, retail traders remain cautious, which shows the divergence in market sentiment.
