After the recent huge accumulation of a cryptocurrency exchange, Dogecoin is making headlines and widespread investor speculation. The  chain data shows the accumulation trend of the whale, one with the acquisition of 300 million DOGE tokens, worth $45 million at current market prices.


The speculation raises theories about who might be the whale buyer while the price of dogecoin continues to fall, with the most prominent assumption being billionaire Elon Musk.

Interestingly, further investigation of the activity on the whale chain indicated that this was not a one-time purchase. A few hours before a purchase, whales bought 1500 million and 30 million DOGE tokens worth $2310,000, and $4.8 million, respectively.


Elon Musk's tweets within the hours before his purchase would only add to speculation that he could be a whale. Just hours ago, the billionaire tweeted a picture of a meme mentioning Dogecoin, prompting some speculation among investors. Musk has been a strong supporter of Dogecoin for months, and his tweets are known to drive the price soar. It's worth noting, however, that his recent tweets failed to deliver many miracles for DOGE prices as cryptocurrencies continue for a month.
