Despite a recent flattening trend following a significant rise earlier this year, the number of non-empty Dogecoin wallets has surged by 13.8% over the past three months, as reported by on-chain analytics firm Santiment.

This increase in non-empty wallets indicates ongoing user activity within the Dogecoin community, showcasing the enduring popularity of the iconic cryptocurrency. Despite the market entering a phase of consolidation, the rise in active wallets signals sustained interest in Dogecoin, suggesting that the community continues to grow and engage.

Although Dogecoin experienced a rally at the beginning of the year, driven in part by a surge in retail investor interest, reaching highs of $0.229 on March 28, it later entered a consolidation phase, with its price stabilizing within a certain range. However, the vibrancy of the Dogecoin community remains evident, as reflected in the uptick in non-empty wallets.

This growth in non-empty wallets coincides with ongoing efforts to expand Dogecoin's adoption. In late March, the Dogecoin Foundation launched v.1.0 of GigaWallet, a backend service designed to facilitate the integration of Dogecoin transactions across various platforms, including online shops, exchanges, and social media platforms.

The increase in non-empty wallets suggests that the Dogecoin community comprises not only speculative traders but also individuals who recognize the long-term value of holding DOGE. At present, DOGE has risen by 2.82% in the last 24 hours, reaching $0.149, rebounding slightly from yesterday's low of $0.142. With a market cap of $21.49 billion, Dogecoin maintains its position as the eighth-largest cryptocurrency.
