Ethereum’s transition to proof-of-stake (PoS) through Ethereum 2.0 may help alleviate some concerns about energy consumption and scalability. However, if other blockchains like Solana, Polkadot, or Avalanche continue to push the boundaries with innovations like Proof of History (PoH) or other consensus mechanisms, they may offer more compelling use cases for DeFi users who value speed, lower costs, and security. This technological competition could create a more fragmented DeFi landscape, challenging Ethereum’s dominance.

Dogecoin behaves like an attention‑sensitive asset. Its price often moves in direct correlation with how much social buzz it receives. When DOGE becomes a trending topic, new participants flood in, creating short‑term demand spikes. This makes attention itself a form of liquidity. Investors who track trending keywords, meme velocity, and social‑media engagement can anticipate these bursts. The downside is that attention fades quickly, causing equally rapid declines. DOGE’s investment logic is therefore tied to monitoring cultural visibility rather than fundamentals.

Token velocity indicates holding behavior. High velocity (frequent transfers) suggests speculation; low implies HODLing and value accrual. Calculate as transaction volume divided by circulating supply. Dune queries transfer volumes over periods. Chainalysis provides velocity charts. Low velocity in utility tokens points to strong fundamentals. Compare with stablecoins for benchmarks. This metric aids in valuing projects like MakerDAO, where low velocity supports DAI stability.
