      Dogecoin Cofounder Reacts as Bitcoin Price Nears All-Time High

      Story Highlights
      • Bitcoin hits $110,651, nearing its May all-time high after bouncing from a $100K low.

      • Ethereum, Dogecoin, and other altcoins rally, pushing total market gains over 5%.

      • Dogecoin Foundation teams up with Heritage Distilling to launch meme-inspired bourbon.

      Bitcoin is back in business as it hovers at the $110,000 mark and proving once again why it’s called the king of cryptos. The comeback has everyone buzzing, including Dogecoin co-founder Billy Markus, whose cheeky X post sums up the craze entirely. 

      As the crypto market turns green, here are the insights on Bitcoinโ€™s meteoric rise, altcoin gains, and a surprising Dogecoin-inspired whiskey venture.

      Bitcoinโ€™s Big Breakout

      Bitcoin (BTC), the king of cryptocurrencies, soared to $110,651 on Monday, its highest in over two weeks. Markus, known for his playful commentary, quipped on X, โ€œBitcoin randomly decided to get exciting.โ€ 

      Now trading at $109,625, BTC is up 1.73% in 24 hours (check live) and nearly 5% weekly, bouncing back from a June 5 low of $100,377. With its all-time high of $111,814 from May, just 2.24% away, Bitcoinโ€™s bullish run has traders on edge, expecting to see whether itโ€™ll break records again.

      Altcoins Join the Party

      Itโ€™s not just Bitcoin enjoying the spotlight.

      The crypto market is coloured in green (up by 5.14%), with major altcoins riding Bitcoinโ€™s tailcoat. Ethereum (ETH) surged 8.86 % to above $2,771, while other tokens notched gains as high as 18%. Dogecoin (DOGE) rose 4.23% to $0.1918, despite a 1.98% dip last week.

      Liquidations Shake the Market

      Volatility reigned, with CoinGlass reporting $456 million in liquidations, including $374 million from shorts. This market shake-up highlights the high stakes and quick changes explaining cryptoโ€™s dominance.

      This wave of liquidations underlines cryptoโ€™s infamous volatility, but also its power to surprise and reward those who stay in the game.

      Dogecoinโ€™s Spirited Venture

      Apart from trading, Dogecoin Foundation joined hands with Heritage Distilling Holding Company, North Americaโ€™s top craft distillery, to announce House of Doge Bourbon, a whiskey inspired by the meme coin. This bold move highlights Dogecoinโ€™s cultural clout, bringing crypto and mainstream markets closer.

      What To Expect?

      As Bitcoin enjoys this rally, the crypto worldโ€™s energy, fueled by altcoin gains and quirky collaborations, shows an exciting road ahead. Stay tuned for whatโ€™s next.
