Dogecoin Lags in Crypto Rally: Why DOGE ETF May Not Help

Dogecoin remains down 70% from its 2021 peak while other major cryptocurrencies hit new highs. Experts attribute its underperformance to a lack of real-world utility and structural demand drivers. The potential approval of a DOGE ETF may provide a short-term boost but is unlikely to create lasting value.

  • Dogecoin is trading 70% below its 2021 all-time high of $0.73, while Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana have set new records.
  • Experts cite a lack of utility—no staking, DeFi collateral, or real-world use cases—as the primary reason for DOGE's stagnation.
  • An approved DOGE ETF might attract short-term inflows but is unlikely to drive lasting adoption or value due to the asset's speculative nature.
