Dogecoin (DOGE) is an open-source peer-to-peer digital currency that originated in 2013 as a parody of the growing crypto market, created by software engineers Billy Markus and Jackson Palmer. Inspired by the popular "Doge" internet meme, the project blends humor with functional technology, evolving into a widely recognized payments-focused cryptocurrency commonly used for online tipping and small-value transfers. The Dogecoin network operates as a fork of LuckyCoin, itself derived from Litecoin, and relies on a proof of work consensus mechanism using the Scrypt hashing algorithm. New blocks are produced approximately every 60 seconds, supporting relatively quick transaction confirmation. Dogecoin also supports merged mining, enabling miners to secure the network simultaneously alongside other Scrypt-based chains such as Litecoin. Rather than being governed by a corporate entity, the project is maintained by a decentralized community of volunteers alongside the non-profit Dogecoin Foundation. Its supply is intentionally uncapped, with a fixed issuance of new coins each year, a design choice intended to keep transaction fees minimal and the network sustainable over the long term.

Cooling inflation eased rate-hike concerns, but a 10-year Treasury yield near 5.3% kept the relief rally from holding.
