• 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.

据推测，一家顶级加密货币矿商的公告将推动此次购买。这一事态发展标志着与埃隆·马斯克引发的运动的背离。世界上最大的模因代币狗狗币 [DOGE] 最近成为头条新闻，因为其供应量的很大一部分被抢购一空由一位富有的投资者。

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.

发生了什么？这笔 4 月 16 日的交易显示，鲸鱼从无佣金加密货币交易平台 Robinhood 手中抢走了 3 亿枚 DOGE 代币，按现行市场价格计算，价值 4500 万美元。

The withdrawn funds were then sent away to a wallet, details about which remain unknown as of this writing.

提取的资金随后被发送到一个钱包，截至撰写本文时，具体细节仍未知。

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

立即，关于这次大规模采购的可能原因的猜测开始流传。

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.

这次没有埃隆·马斯克的链接吗？著名的加密货币影响者 MartyParty 表示，此举是为了回应全球最大的加密货币挖矿设备制造商之一比特大陆最近发布的公告。

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.

该公告谈到即将发布的 Antiminer L9，这将有助于为包括 DOGE 在内的不同工作量证明 (PoW) 代币提供挖矿服务。

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

与金融市场中的其他事物一样，影响资产价格的因素基于市场读数，并非 100% 准确。

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

然而，上述潜在催化剂提供了有关 DOGE 不断变化的市场结构的见解。

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.

最初的模因币几年前就得到了科技沙皇埃隆·马斯克在 X（以前的 Twitter）上的认可，它越来越与他的观点和他控制下的公司的发展纠缠在一起。

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

这是由于该代币缺乏基本面驱动的催化剂的结果。

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

但像上述那样对 DOGE 挖矿的投资可能会吸引更多认真的投资者，并导致代币价格持续上涨。
