• An announcement by a top crypto miner was speculated to be powering the purchase.
• The development signaled a departure from Elon Musk-induced movements.

The world’s largest meme token, Dogecoin [DOGE], grabbed headlines recently when a mammoth portion of its supply was grabbed by a wealthy investor.

據推測，一家頂級加密貨幣礦商的公告將推動此次購買。成為頭條新聞，因為其供應量的很大一部分被搶購一空由一位富有的投資者。

What happened?

The transaction, dated the 16th of April, showed a whale snapping 300 million DOGE tokens, worth $45 million at prevailing market prices, from no-commission crypto trading platform Robinhood.

發生了什麼事？

The withdrawn funds were then sent away to a wallet, details about which remain unknown as of this writing.

提取的資金隨後被發送到一個錢包，截至撰寫本文時，具體細節仍未知。

Immediately, speculations about the possible reason for the large purchase began doing the rounds.

立即，關於這次大規模採購的可能原因的猜測開始流傳。

No Elon Musk links this time?

MartyParty, a prominent crypto influencer, suggested that the move was in response to a recent announcement by Bitmain, one of the world’s largest crypto mining equipment makers.

這次沒有伊隆馬斯克的連結嗎？

The announcement talked about the upcoming release of its Antiminer L9, which would help with mining services for different proof-of-work (PoW) tokens, including DOGE.

該公告談到即將發布的 Antiminer L9，這將有助於為包括 DOGE 在內的不同工作量證明 (PoW) 代幣提供挖礦服務。

As with other things in financial markets, factors influencing an asset’s price are based on market readings and not 100% accurate.

與金融市場中的其他事物一樣，影響資產價格的因素是基於市場讀數，並非 100% 準確。

However, the aforementioned potential catalyst provided insights about DOGE’s changing market structure.

然而，上述潛在催化劑提供了有關 DOGE 不斷變化的市場結構的見解。

The original meme coin, which was endorsed by tech czar Elon Musk on X (formerly Twitter) years ago, has grown increasingly entangled with his opinion and developments in firms under his control.

最初的迷因幣幾年前就得到了科技沙皇埃隆·馬斯克在 X（以前的 Twitter）上的認可，它越來越與他的觀點和他控制下的公司的發展糾纏在一起。

This was a result of lack of fundamentals-driven catalysts for the token.

這是由於該代幣缺乏基本面驅動的催化劑的結果。

But investments like the aforementioned ones into DOGE mining could attract more serious investors and result in sustained price increases for the coin.

但像上述對 DOGE 挖礦的投資可能會吸引更多認真的投資者，並導致代幣價格持續上漲。

The jump aligned with growing meme coin speculation in the ongoing bull market. DOGE was trading at $0.15 at press time, marking a 68% bump since 2024 began.

這一跳躍與持續牛市中不斷增長的迷因幣投機一致。截至發稿時，DOGE 的交易價格為 0.15 美元，自 2024 年開始以來上漲了 68%。
