Within the period, JPEX found Dogecoin (DOGE), Shiba Inu (SHIB), Ethereum (ETH), Flow (FLOW), and Ethereum Classic (ETC) to be the biggest weekly gainers. During the week, Western Union (WU) joined other companies such as Formula 1, Ford Motors, and Sony Music in filing three trademark applications as it aims to enter the Metaverse. Other assets such as Solana (SOL), Ethereum Proof-of-Work (ETHW), Avalanche (AVAX), Cosmos (ATOM), and Cardano (ADA) also saw significant gains.

Dogecoin (DOGE) Spiked by 80%

DOGE is the native asset of the Dogecoin ecosystem which was founded by Billy Markus and Jackson Palmer in 2013. As one of the oldest cryptocurrencies in a space where more than 21,000 digital assets fight for investors, DOGE opened the week on Sunday, 23rd October with a price of $0.05968. After reaching a weekly low of $0.05886 on Monday, 24th October, whispers of Elon Musk, the Self-Proclaimed DogeFather completing the purchase of social media Twitter led to a spike in DOGE’s trading volume.

On Friday, 28th October, Elon Musk completed his purchase of the social media platform and many news outlets reported there has also been an increment in the adoption of crypto by Wall Street.

The positive effects of Elon Musk’s association with DOGE led to an 80% spike in the price of the coin to a new high of $0.1076 on Saturday, 29th October.

There was also a 2,380% increase in trading volume from $183 million on Oct. 23 to approximately $4.5 billion on Oct. 29. This is the reason why analysts at crypto forecasting portal Coin Price Forecast estimates a $0.13 valuation for DOGE by the end of 2022.

Shiba Inu (SHIB) Rose by 26%

SHIB is the novel token of the Shiba Inu ecosystem which boasts of a decentralized exchange (DEX) called Shibaswap and its own Metaverse called Oshiverse. SHIB opened on Sunday, 23rd October with a trading price of $0.000009998.

The token reached a weekly low of $0.000009887 on Monday, 24th October.
