Why is Dogecoin no longer a top 10 coin?

Press Releases Crypto News AMB-Crypto Why is Dogecoin no longer a top 10 coin?

Chainlink flipped Dogecoin’s market cap as the former continued to do well.
DOGE’s price might fall to $0.077 since capital inflow decreased.

Dogecoin’s [DOGE] position as the 10th most valuable cryptocurrency has been taken, AMBCrypto discovered. According to CoinMarketCap, DOGE was now ranked 11th on the market cap standings.

At press time, the coin’s market cap was $11.46 billion.

Chainlink [LINK], on the other hand, was the project that took its place with a market cap of $11.46 billion.

Dogecoin’s fall could be linked to many things. But the major one was its price action. At press time, DOGE’s price was $0.080, representing a 12.78% decrease since the new year began.

LINK, however, has been one of the best-performing altcoins. On a Year-To-Date (YTD) basis, LINK’s price has increased by 30.07% while changing hands at $20.20.

As you probably know, market cap is a product of the price and circulating supply. As of this writing, LINK’s circulating supply was 58.01 million, while DOGE was 143.04 billion.

But if the price of both cryptocurrencies and those engaged in transactions is compared, one can conclude that Chainlink takes the cake.

Another reason Dogecoin lost the number 10 position could be connected to some happenings on-chain. Recently, AMBCrypto reported how the network had a high influx of users and active wallets.

One of the metrics propelling the fall was the transaction volume. On the 9th of February, Dogecoin’s transaction volume was over a billion.

However, at the time of writing, the number had decreased to 115.97 million. This was almost a 10x decrease from what it was a few days ago.
