Avalanche’s AVAX Token Overtakes Dogecoin to Become 10th-Largest Cryptocurrency
A double-digit overnight surge has propelled Avalanche’s AVAX token past Dogecoin (DOGE) to become the 10th-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization. Avalanche currently stands at $39.90, up nearly 12% on the past day, with a market cap of just under $14.7 billion, while Dogecoin has slipped by 1% in the past day to around $0.096, with a market cap of just above $13.7 billion, per data from CoinGecko.

Hot Take: Avalanche’s Rise Reflects Growing Market Dominance
Avalanche’s surge past Dogecoin highlights its growing market dominance and investor interest in the cryptocurrency. With inflows of $2 million from crypto investor funds and Mirai Labs migrating its ecosystem to Avalanche, the platform is gaining traction in the industry. While Dogecoin experienced a dip after a week-long surge, it remains up on both weekly and monthly charts. Bitcoin, on the other hand, is currently trading sideways after a recent decline. The cryptocurrency market continues to be dynamic and unpredictable, offering both opportunities and challenges for investors.
