New Delhi: 2026 has begun on a promising note for cryptocurrency investors, with several digital assets, including Bitcoin, witnessing strong gains. One cryptocurrency making headlines is Dogecoin (DOGE), which has regained momentum after causing significant losses for investors last year.
As of Monday at 2 PM, Dogecoin was trading at $0.1503 (approximately ₹14), marking a week-on-week increase of over 18%. Despite a minor dip of over 1% in the past 24 hours, investor interest in this cryptocurrency remains strong. Dogecoin is also famously favored by Elon Musk, one of the world’s richest individuals.
Weekly Performance
A week ago, Dogecoin was priced at $0.1268, and since then it has surged to $0.1503, giving investors a return of over 18% in just seven days. Since January 1, 2026, Dogecoin has already rallied about 28%, starting from $0.1178 on December 31, 2025.
Recovery After a Loss-Making Year
The recent gains have come as a relief to investors following a challenging 2025, during which Dogecoin’s value fell by more than 60%. By the end of December 2025, the price had dropped below $0.1100. Notably, the cryptocurrency had previously seen a massive rally during Donald Trump’s US presidential election in December 2024.
The Crypto That Made Millionaires
Dogecoin famously created millionaires in 2021. At the end of December 2021, one Dogecoin was priced at $0.004493 (around ₹0.41). By early May 2021, it had skyrocketed to $0.6358 (around ₹57), delivering returns exceeding 14,000% in just five months. An investment of ₹1 lakh at that time could have grown to ₹1.4 crore.
With its renewed momentum in 2026, investors are closely watching whether Dogecoin can repeat its past spectacular performance and turn small investments into big fortunes once again.
