As reports have it, Dogecoin (DOGE), a cryptocurrency created out of meme, has gained more traction with support from three exchanges within 24 hours.
On 13th January, Dogecoin (DOGE) was listed on three trading platforms, including FTX (futures and spot trading), Huobi Futures (Margin Swaps), and WazirX (Spot Trading).
The reason why these exchanges decided to add support for Dogecoin (DOGE) at a time when its developers have not made a major announcement regarding the digital currency cannot be ascertained at press time.
Some are speculating that the exchanges are attempting to take advantage of new and growing cryptocurrencies in the current Bitcoin rally and the price drops that are liable to follow.
Also, there is a possibility that the support of the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, Elon Musk, who is currently the richest man in the world, has been fueling the support of the three exchanges and others.
It is also conceivable that these exchanges listed the coin for reasons of competition. In fact, a similar group listing occurred last year: in July, Binance launched Dogecoin futures, while OKEx and Bitfinex added Dogecoin spot trading, all within a day of each other.
