What it actually costs to sell DOGE
Selling $100,000 of DOGE into each exchange’s resting bids, measured against the mid price:
| Exchange | Lost | Got back | Measured |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kraken XDG/USD | 0.07% | $99,926 | 2026-10-08 median of 44 |
| Coinbase DOGE/USD | 0.09% | $99,908 | 2026-10-08 |
Exchange figures need an account there (and KYC, a permitted country, the tokens already deposited), are before trading fees, and are never averaged with the on-chain figure. Binance is not included: it refuses requests from the region our servers are in. How this is measured →
Watch this number instead of remembering it. A free account keeps DOGE on a list, records where it stood the day you added it, and emails you if selling it on these exchanges gets materially harder — one message, not a series. The measurement itself stays public; the account is for being told when it moves without you looking.

Market cap, supply, volume and distance from the high — what each number honestly tells you, and the far longer list of things none of them tell you.
What Dogecoin is
Dogecoin was created in 2013 by Billy Markus and Jackson Palmer as a joke — a deliberately absurd parody of the cryptocurrency boom, built in a few hours from Litecoin's code and named after a dog meme. Neither founder expected it to last, and both have long since stepped away.
Technically it is a straightforward proof-of-work coin with fast, cheap transactions. Unlike Bitcoin it has no supply cap: roughly five billion new coins are issued every year, which makes it mildly inflationary by design. It is merge-mined with Litecoin, meaning the same miners secure both.
What Dogecoin does not have is a roadmap, a development company, or a technical problem it uniquely solves. Its price has historically been driven by attention — social media, celebrity endorsement, particularly Elon Musk. That makes it unusually sentiment-dependent even by crypto standards, and it is honest to treat it as a cultural asset rather than a technology bet.

About the asset
Dogecoin has no token contract — it is the native asset of its own chain, not a token issued on someone else's.
