Dogecoin (DOGE) registered a massive spike in its derivatives volume in a 24-hour time frame, with a relevant weight compared to its market capitalization. This surge means an increased interest by the cryptocurrency market in the leading memecoin.

Notably, Dogecoin derivatives volume more than doubled in a day, according to data from CoinGlass retrieved by Finbold on November 17. As of writing, speculators were trading $5.04 billion worth of DOGE using derivatives.

The spike followed a price increase for Dogecoin in the spot market, trading at $0.083 for approximately 4% daily gains. In the meantime, other cryptocurrencies were registering losses in price and derivatives volume.
