Dogecoin (DOGE) has risen by nearly 10% as traders take risks, sending the token's price sharply higher. This comes as the rally in bitcoin BTC $ 75,735.40 stalls. In the futures market, open interest in DOGE futures has risen to 15.36 billion tokens, the highest level this year. This indicates more traders are focusing on leveraged directional plays, a sign of strong risk sentiment in the market. The rise in open interest indicates new money is entering the market rather than closing old positions. Binance accounted for nearly 3.99 billion DOGEs, Bitget, Bybit, and OKX, each with over 1 billion DogsE. The rally comes after weeks of sideways trading and a return of speculative interest across major major markets.
