According to monitoring by Arkham, a certain whale address 0xdDE recently purchased approximately 10 million dollars worth of ETH after suffering a loss of over 2 million dollars in its DOGE holdings.Analysis suggests that if the price of ETH rises by 20%, the profits from this investment will be sufficient to cover all losses from its DOGE holdings. However, this whale still seems to be betting on a significant increase in DOGE in the future. If ETH does not rise as expected and the price of DOGE continues to weaken, its overall investment losses may further expand.

The founder and CEO of DogeOS, which builds EVM-compatible application layers for Dogecoin, Jordan Jefferson, told The Block that the DogeOS mainnet is "very, very close" to launch, at which point developers will be able to build applications and DeFi functionalities on Dogecoin. He stated that the first version of development has been completed and the audit has also been finished. The current main goal of the team is to push for the launch of the DogeOS mainnet, but no specific launch date has been provided.Jefferson mentioned that prior to this, DOGE holders had limited options beyond buying, holding, transferring, and tipping. DogeOS aims to provide more use cases, potentially including games and other ways to earn Doge. He emphasized that to make Dogecoin "a currency for more people," DeFi infrastructure is essential. Currently, over 100 developers are involved in related projects, and the team is providing support and advancing integration with wallets, exchanges, and other protocols.This progress follows the launch of Dogecoin Labs last month, which brings together developers and products from DogeOS, the Dogecoin Foundation, and House of Doge. Jefferson stated that Dogecoin is too large to rely solely on donations forever, and Dogecoin Labs aims to provide financial support for core developers.

Arkham monitoring shows that Upbit's on-chain holdings of DOGE and SHIB are valued at approximately 1.1 billion USD, ranking after its holdings of BTC, ETH, and SOL.

On October 29, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin reflected on his experience investing in DOGE and donating to SHIB during an interview on the Silicon Valley 101 podcast. He revealed that he had spent $25,000 to buy DOGE, which later increased in value to over $10 million.He also recalled that the SHIB project team had transferred half of the total token supply to his public wallet. He sold part of the tokens, exchanging them for approximately $70 million worth of ETH, but due to insufficient market liquidity, he still held a large amount of remaining tokens, which he later donated to an organization fighting COVID-19 in India and the Future of Life Institute (FLI).He initially thought that the recipients could cash out a maximum of over $20 million, but the amount reached several hundred million dollars, far exceeding expectations. He stated that if he had foreseen this outcome at the time, he would have made very different decisions.

Former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton recently stated on ABC's program "The View," calling for the new Congress to hold individuals like Elon Musk accountable immediately after taking office in January next year. She accused these individuals of manipulating data to influence decision-making and emphasized that the government must take action and not let them go unpunished.Hillary stated, "People like Elon Musk, we need the government to take action. I advocate for holding these individuals accountable starting from the new Congress in January. They cannot evade responsibility by manipulating data to influence decision-making."Previously, Musk donated approximately $290 million to Republican candidates and related causes in the 2024 election and spent about $470 million supporting the Republican Party during this midterm election cycle. After Trump's victory, he appointed Musk as a senior advisor and co-led the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE, officially dissolved in July 2025). The Democratic Party has previously been brewing investigations into Musk's related affairs, which may involve federal contract conflicts of interest, data access and layoffs during DOGE, and issues related to the algorithm of the X platform. The new Congress is expected to officially take office in January 2027.

House of Doge and its U.S. subsidiaries must rebrand by the end of 2026 and cease using titles such as "official commercial partner of the Dogecoin Foundation." The relevant subsidiaries are also required to pay the foundation a termination fee of $400,000.Under the new agreement, House of Doge retains non-exclusive trademark rights to three existing 21Shares DOGE investment products.

The Tianjin Second Intermediate People's Court announced that it has accepted the Tianjin People's Procuratorate Second Branch's application to confiscate the illegal gains of the suspect Qian Zhimin as of September 28.According to the property confiscation list published by the Tianjin Second Intermediate Court, in addition to bitcoins, the involved virtual currencies also include 72,745.79502 bitcoins cash, 72,745.78555 bitcoins gold, 72,745.7845 bitcoins Satoshi Vision, 3,605,989.9995 ripples, and 70,081,208.62553222 dogecoins (which have been converted and deposited into an interest-bearing account by British judicial authorities). Additionally, the confiscated assets also include cash in US dollars, euros, and British pounds, jewelry, as well as bank balances and investment portfolios.The Tianjin People's Procuratorate Second Branch believes that Qian Zhimin is suspected of fundraising fraud, and after fleeing, he has been wanted for a year without appearing in court. There is evidence proving that over 61,800 bitcoins and other assets seized in the UK belong to illegal gains and their proceeds, and should be recovered along with the transformed and converted properties and proceeds, except for those legally returned to the harmed fundraising participants, which should be confiscated.

Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley stated in an interview with The Block at the Digital Asset Summit 2026 Asia that the failure of the Bitwise spot Dogecoin ETF is "tragic," highlighting the "difference" between the users served by spot ETFs and those served by crypto brokerage applications. The Bitwise Dogecoin ETF (BWOW) was listed on the New York Stock Exchange in November 2025 and is set to close less than a year after its launch, with trading halting after October 14. According to SoSoValue data, as of October 7, the fund managed approximately $725,900 in assets, with a trading volume of $51,500 in September.Horsley expressed that he likes and holds Dogecoin, believing that it is historically a useless token but represents something and is a reasonable asset; however, it has shown no progress as an ETF. He thinks ETF users do not want to invest money in Dogecoin, but this may change over time; he denied that Bitwise targeted the wrong audience and described crypto ETFs as a channel. In contrast, he is more confident about the success of the Bitwise Solana Staking ETF (BSOL), stating that its pioneering staking feature contributed to its success, but the $1.3 billion in net assets ultimately reflects a bet on Solana.AI is currently one of Bitwise's focuses. Horsley stated that crypto and AI originate from the same source, with the former reconstructing financial services as software and the latter enabling machines to perform tasks previously done by humans;

According to CoinDesk, after the U.S. August PCE inflation data came in lower than expected, Bitcoin briefly rose above $85,500, but the rally subsequently retreated as U.S. Treasury yields remained high.Dan Khus, Chief Analyst at LVRG Research, stated that the weaker PCE data reduced the likelihood of the Federal Reserve raising interest rates again in October, leading the market to focus more on policy changes in December, which boosted risk appetite in the crypto market.However, the U.S. 10-year Treasury yield remains close to 5.3%, and the 30-year yield briefly reached its highest level since 2002, limiting Bitcoin's further upside potential.In other crypto assets, HYPE rose about 3% to around $89, DOGE increased nearly 2% to around $0.1; ETH, BNB, TRX, and ZEC saw gains of less than 1%, XRP remained flat at $1.5, and SOL fell nearly 1% to around $119.

According to Decrypt, DogeOS has announced the launch of its application layer public testnet based on Dogecoin.DogeOS is an EVM-compatible application layer network designed to allow developers to build applications on the Dogecoin ecosystem. The testnet transaction fees are paid in DOGE, and projects such as lending protocols, perpetual contract trading platforms, stablecoins, and prediction market aggregators have already been integrated.DogeOS was initiated by the MyDoge wallet team, utilizes zkVM technology, and operates as an independent layer without altering the Dogecoin base layer. The official mainnet launch date has not yet been announced.

DogeOS, the application layer of Dogecoin, launched its public testnet on Wednesday, introducing EVM-compatible smart contracts to the Dogecoin network as a zero-knowledge rollup, with DOGE as the native token for transaction fees. The project aims to support applications such as trading, lending, stablecoins, prediction markets, and gaming, while settling state back to the Dogecoin network.DogeOS currently uses a trusted execution environment, validators, and a permissioned sequencer to ensure network security. Future proposed upgrades to Dogecoin Core will allow Dogecoin miners to directly verify their execution proofs. DogeOS CEO Jordan Jefferson stated that Dogecoin does not currently verify ZK proofs on its own, and bridging state transitions requires valid proofs as well as signatures from a majority of validators and TEE signers. He mentioned that the team is currently focused on the public testnet, allowing developers time to build and test applications, with the mainnet timeline to be announced upon reaching the next development milestone.DogeOS comes from the MyDoge wallet team, which announced a $6.9 million funding round led by Polychain Capital in May 2025. Two months later, the DogeOS team submitted a proposal for a Dogecoin Core upgrade to add native ZK proof verification for Dogecoin, but this upgrade has not yet been implemented. Timothy Stebbing, a director of the Dogecoin Foundation, expressed hope that DogeOS will serve as a springboard for a new wave of practical engineering.
