$DOGE Sees Nearly 75,000 New Dogecoin Wallets During BTC Bull Run Fueling 140% Price Surge
Dogecoin ($DOGE) has surged over 140% in the past week. It now trades above $0.4. This rise has come during a broader market rally and is fueled by a sharp increase in new users joining the network.

According to on-chain analytics firm Santiment, Dogecoin saw 74,885 new wallets created over the last week. Each wallet holds less than 100,000 DOGE, which signals growing retail interest. At the same time, larger holders known as sharks and whales saw their numbers drop by 350 addresses. Despite this drop, 108 new large wallets have appeared in recent days, adding more buying power to Dogecoin's market.
Ali Martinez, a popular cryptocurrency analyst, believes this rally could be just the start. He predicts that Dogecoin could go parabolic soon, hitting prices between $3.95 and $23.26. Martinez points to historical trends and Fibonacci retracement levels, which often show key moments of strong movement. If this trend plays out, Dogecoin could surpass expectations and reach new highs.
Dogecoin has also outperformed Bitcoin in recent days. While Bitcoin increased by 25% over the past week, Dogecoin’s surge has been much stronger. Last month, Dogecoin saw its biggest spike in active addresses in six months, with 84,000 wallets becoming active. This level of activity shows that users are not just holding DOGE. They are actively trading and transferring it, keeping the network dynamic and strong.

BlackRock Expands Tokenized BUIDL Fund to Aptos, Arbitrum, Avalanche Optimism, and Polygon
BlackRock's BUIDL fund, tokenized by Securitize, is moving beyond Ethereum. It now includes Aptos, Arbitrum, Avalanche, Optimism, and Polygon blockchains. This expansion aims to increase access for investors DAOs and digital asset-native firms across these ecosystems. BlackRock wants to capitalize on growing demand for tokenized assets by providing a more inclusive environment for those seeking exposure to government securities.
BUIDL leads the tokenized government securities niche with $517 million in assets. This equals around 22% market share in the $2.3 billion sector. Launched in partnership with Securitize, the fund offers on chain yield, dividend accrual, and near real-time peer-to-peer transfers. Expanding to new blockchain networks will allow developers to integrate BUIDL into their ecosystems, boosting accessibility and potential use cases.
"We wanted to develop an ecosystem that was thoughtfully designed to be digital and take advantage of the advantages of tokenization," Securitize CEO and co-founder Carlos Domingo said. "Real-world asset tokenization is scaling, and we're excited to have these blockchains added to increase the potential of the BUIDL ecosystem. With these new chains we'll start to see more investors looking to leverage the underlying technology to increase efficiencies on all the things that until now have been hard to do."
With Aptos, Arbitrum, Avalanche, Optimism, and Polygon now onboard, developers can work within their preferred blockchain while accessing BUIDL. This broadens the potential for yield-generating investments and deepens liquidity in DeFi. BNY Mellon will continue as the fund’s administrator and custodian, ensuring consistent management across all blockchains. This step shows how traditional institutions like BNY Mellon adapt as blockchain technology evolves.

The Growing Market for Tokenized Government Securities
The market for tokenized government securities is growing fast, and BlackRock's BUIDL fund leads the charge. Launched in March, BUIDL became the largest tokenized government securities fund in less than 40 days. It now holds $517 million in assets, accounting for 22% of the market share. This rapid growth shows that investor interest in blockchain-based financial products is rising.
Franklin Templeton introduced the OnChain U.S. Government Money Fund (FOBXX) through the BENJI token in 2021. It was the first U.S.-registered fund to use blockchain for transactions. BENJI now operates on Aptos, Arbitrum, Avalanche, Stellar, and Polygon with $403 million in assets. Though BENJI was the first, BUIDL quickly overtook it due to its institutional backing and aggressive expansion.
Demand for tokenized assets is growing as investors seek transparency, liquidity, and efficiency. By expanding BUIDL to more blockchains, BlackRock makes these securities more accessible. This opens doors for DAOs and DeFi projects to use these assets in their protocols, offering new ways to earn yield and use collateral.
Conclusion
With the fast-paced crypto market and Bitcoin hitting another new milestone above $93,000, spot Bitcoin (BTC) ETFs saw a new net inflow of $61.3 million, while ETHW experienced a net inflow of $13 million on November 13th. BlackRock’s BUIDL fund is expanding to Aptos, Arbitrum, Avalanche, Optimism, and Polygon. This expansion aims to make government securities more accessible and integrate them into DeFi ecosystems. BUIDL’s rapid growth highlights the strong demand for tokenized assets. Meanwhile, Dogecoin added 74,885 new wallets last week, driven by bullish sentiment and its connection to Elon Musk. These developments underscore the potential for Bitcoin to soon reach the $100,000 milestone.
