Why It Matters: Youtuber Matt Wallace noted the internationalization of the DOGE rally over the weekend and the shifting of action to Binance, a major cryptocurrency exchange.

“This time you’re seeing Binance playing a bigger role, and that’s one of the top exchanges in the world. [It’s] not as popular in the U.S., which means that we are now seeing markets most likely in Asia and in Europe starting to really move to accumulate Doge more, which I think is going to lead to the next big leg up,” said Wallace.

Wallace predicted a price of $1 for the meme coin.

On Bitcoin, Matt Blom, head of digital asset company Eqonex said last week that the $50,000 price level may be difficult to pass due to profit-taking.

As the coin moves to the $50K mark — “People are going to take some coins off. I don’t care how much of a HODLer you are,” said Blom, reported CoinDesk.
