Dogecoin DOGE/USD is a meme-token that was initially developed as a joke to essentially make fun of the serious toke cryptocurrencies had at the time of its creation.

However, ever since its creation, it has been praised and used by many influential people and has gained one of the strongest communities out there.

All of this has contributed towards making Dogecoin (DOGE) a token that has been regularly traded.

On February 14, we covered how Dogecoin (DOGE) could soon be accepted by Elon Musk’s Starlink.

Seven Republicans ended up buying or selling cryptocurrencies, including Sen. Pan Toomey of Pennsylvania, who is the ranking member of the banking committee. 

Only one Democrat reported a transaction, Rep. Marie Newman of Illinois, according to the analysis. 

In other words, these lawmakers and their families have traded cryptocurrencies throughout the past year within the span of $1,000 to $100,000, according to a CNBC analysis conducted.

Bitcoin BTC/USD was the most popular token, totaling an estimated $229,000, including through an ETF; the second was Ethereum ETH/USD with a total of $40,000.

However, interestingly, Dogecoin was another token being heavily bought, with roughly $32,000 in Dogecoin (DOGE) purchased.
