Dogecoin Surpasses Zcash in Total Market Cap, Enters CoinMarketCap’s Top-20
Dogecoin (DOGE), has surpassed the market capitalization of Zcash (ZEC), one of the top privacy coins. Over the past 24 hours, DOGE has surged more than 13%, adding close to $80 million to its market cap.
Trading at around 0.00000087 BTC ($0.005719), Dogecoin is now valued at $663.7 million, almost $38 million more than the market cap of Zcash, which stands at $627.5 million.
DOGE’s price surge was boosted by the recent demo of Dogethereum, an experimental effort to bring Dogecoin to the Ethereum blockchain, enabling the use of Dogecoin with Ethereum smart contracts through a new DOGE-backed Ethereum token.
The news was confirmed via Dogecoin’s Twitter with the experiment’s results available on YouTube:
