Dogecoin (CRYPTO: DOGE), created by Billy Markus and Jackson Palmer, is a cryptocurrency created as a joke, based on the "Doge" meme, humoring the speculative nature of cryptocurrencies. The infamous memecoin later exploded, becoming a top 10 cryptocurrency in early 2021.
At its peak, Dogecoin had a market capitalization of more than $88 billion, fueled by the memetic culture surrounding the coin.
