Dogecoin (DOGE) experienced a dramatic 50% flash crash on October 10, plummeting from $0.22 to $0.11 within minutes before stabilizing around $0.19 to $0.20. This sudden drop coincided with a broader market selloff following Trump's announcement of a 100% tariff on Chinese imports. The intraday trading range for DOGE reached $0.14, with trading volumes soaring to 4.6 billion DOGE, significantly higher than the daily average of 1.5 billion. Despite the volatility, institutional interest remained strong as 21Shares launched its DOGE ETF (TDOG), and large holders, or 'whales', added 2 billion DOGE to corporate wallets.
