So far so steady for the crypto markets this April. Standing out from the crowd, however, is Dogecoin (DOGE).
The popular meme coin fell to a daily low of $0.76 on Monday morning before recovering to $0.079 by press time.
This represents a 5% drop for Dogecoin, making it the largest among the major cryptocurrencies, according to data provided by CoinGecko.
DOGE is still up 5.7% over the week after the coin enjoyed a moderate boost over the weekend after Twitter chief and long-time Dogecoin fan Elon Musk motioned a U.S. judge on Friday to dismiss a $258 billion lawsuit accusing him of running a racketeering scheme to back the cryptocurrency.
The lawsuit, which was filed in June 2022 and also targets the billionaire’s electric car company Tesla and the Dogecoin Foundation, alleges that the defendants “falsely and deceptively” claimed that the meme coin was “a legitimate investment when it has no value at all.”
The motion to dismiss the lawsuit, however, says that plaintiffs didn’t explain statements such as “Dogecoin Rulz” or “No highs, no lows, only Doge” are false or misleading, “as they are so vague and subjective as to constitute quintessential puffery.”
“Plaintiffs also never explain what risk Mr. Musk and Tesla purportedly concealed from the market. According to Plaintiffs, Dogecoin is highly speculative and risky because it is not backed by any physical asset or government, but rather is worth 'whatever someone else is willing to pay for it at any point in time.' But those basic facts were well-known to any reasonable purchaser, including because Dogecoin’s co-founder, Billy Markus, among others, had repeatedly said so,” reads the document.
In their lawsuit, the plaintiffs also alleged that Dogecoin is a security, however, Musk’s lawyer argues that “securities fraud claims fail because Plaintiffs fail to plead any material misrepresentation or omission.”
Elon Musk and two of his companies, Tesla and SpaceX, are facing a $258 billion lawsuit, according to Thursday reports. Bloomberg today reported that an American citizen is suing the world’s richest man for allegedly pumping Dogecoin. The lawsuit alleges that Musk was part of a racketeering scheme to back the cryptocurrency. “Defendants falsely and deceptively claim that Dogecoin is a legitimate investment when it has no value at all,” Keith Johnson, who filed the lawsuit, said in the complain...
Elsewhere in the market, another popular meme coin Shiba Inu (SHIB) is down 3.5% over the day, as is Solana (SOL) with a 3.6% drop in the past 24 hours.
Bitcoin (BTC) fell to a daily low of $27,661 in the early hours on Monday only to rebound to $28,350 at the time of writing, meaning that the price of leading cryptocurrency is practically unchanged (down just 0.4%) over the past day.
Ethereum (ETH) is down 0.8% over the span, currently trading at $1,811.
The global cryptocurrency market cap is now standing at $1.22 trillion, down 0.4% over the past day.

Tornado Cash co-founder Roman Storm issued one of his starkest rebukes yet of the Trump administration’s Department of Justice on Friday, arguing that if federal prosecutors prevail in the developer’s upcoming criminal trial, decentralized finance could be permanently destroyed. “The DOJ wants to bury DeFi, saying I should’ve controlled it, added KYC, [and] never built it,” Storm wrote. “SDNY is trying to crush me, blocking every expert witness.” “If I lose, DeFi dies with me,” the crypto devel...
Late Thursday evening, Israeli fighter jets struck Iranian nuclear facilities, opening a wave of instability across global markets, with two camps split on what to do: those running for shelter and those fleeing risk. Gold, long considered a safe haven, beckoned investors seeking safety from the escalating Middle East conflict. Bitcoin, often touted as digital gold, instead joined the exodus of risk assets. "The traditional buyers of gold are not in the crypto market yet,” Stephen Wundke, direc...
GameStop shares plummeted on Thursday after the video game retailer announced that it would offer investors $1.75 billion worth of convertible senior notes, a form of corporate debt that Bitcoin-buying firms like Strategy have tapped to accumulate the asset. The Grapevine, Texas-based firm’s stock price had dropped 22% to $22.12, as of noon Eastern Time, according to Yahoo Finance. GameStop shares changed hands around $25.40 in late March, when the company said that it could start leveraging Bit...
