In a move that has sparked interest in the crypto community, a whale has placed a huge leveraged bet on Dogecoin (DOGE), indicating increased bullish sentiment around the popular dog coin.
According to Lookonchain, the whale, identified as “0x6adb,” opened a 10x leveraged long position on an eye-popping 84.08 million DOGE, valued around $21.24 million at the time of the trade.
Not only does the enormity of the position alone stir attention, but the 10x leverage adds a layer of high-risk, high-reward intensity. Such leveraged bets often signal strong conviction, access to deep liquidity and a sharp eye on short-term market trends.
At the time of writing, DOGE was down 3.4% in the last 24 hours to $0.242 due to recent market profit taking. Dogecoin has been on the rise since July 15, marking four days of increases to reach an intraday high of $0.257 in early Saturday trading.

Lookonchain reveals this same address recently closed a previous DOGE long at the top, locking in a $2.14 million profit. That track record makes the most recent move even more notable: This whale knows how to time the market.
