Dogecoin (DOGE) gained about 9% in the week to September 8, 2026. CoinGecko's daily snapshot puts it at $0.0905 on September 8, up from $0.0828 on September 1. That gain has since been lost. On October 25, 2026, CoinGecko lists DOGE at $0.0767, down 19.7% over 30 days and about 89.5% below its all-time high of $0.7316, set on May 7, 2021.
The week in numbers (September 1–8, 2026)
The table uses CoinGecko daily snapshots (00:00 UTC) unless a row says otherwise.
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Price, September 1 | $0.0828 |
| Price, September 8 | $0.0905 |
| Change over the week | +9.3% |
| Market capitalisation, September 8 | $14.10 billion |
| 24-hour trading volume, September 8 | $812 million |
| Lowest daily snapshot of the week (CoinPaprika) | $0.0814 on September 2 |
| Highest daily snapshot of the week (CoinPaprika) | $0.0902 on September 6 |
CoinPaprika's snapshots show a similar move: $0.0826 on September 1 and $0.0900 on September 8, a rise of 8.9%. The two providers differ by a few tenths of a cent, so the weekly figure depends on which feed you use and what time you take the snapshot. The high and low above are daily snapshots, not intraday extremes.
Where the move came from: the August 20–22 jump
The September week came after a much bigger jump. In CoinPaprika's daily data, DOGE traded between $0.070 and $0.071 from August 8 to August 19, 2026. It then climbed to $0.0921 by August 22, up about 29% in three days. Daily trading volume reached $2.56 billion on August 22, compared with less than $0.44 billion on every day from August 8 to 19.
Over the next week the price eased back to about $0.083 (August 31). In the first week of September it recovered to about $0.090. So the September 1–8 gain was a partial retest of the late-August high rather than a new breakout. Measured from August 9 ($0.0702), DOGE was up about 28% by September 8.
How much does new DOGE dilute supply?
Pick a number of years after October 25, 2026 to see what the fixed 5 billion DOGE issued each year adds to supply.
| Years after October 25, 2026 | New issuance as a share of supply that year |
|---|---|
| 0 years | 3.19 % |
| 10 years | 2.42 % |
| 20 years | 1.95 % |
- Starts from about 156.5 billion DOGE in circulation on October 25, 2026 (CoinGecko) and adds 5 billion coins a year, with no maximum supply.
- At 0 years the result is about 3.2%, the figure in the article. The share falls slowly as total supply grows.
This only works out supply growth. It does not show demand, price or how many coins are lost or held, so it cannot tell you whether DOGE's price will hold.
What happened after September 8
Bitwise closed its spot Dogecoin ETF (announced September 10)
Two days after this snapshot, Bitwise announced on September 10, 2026 that it would liquidate the Bitwise Dogecoin ETF (NYSE Arca: BWOW). It said it "continues to optimize its product range to meet evolving investor needs." The release set out this timeline:
- October 14, 2026: expected last trading day; the fund's dogecoin to be sold for cash.
- October 15, 2026: no new share creations from the market open.
- October 21, 2026: date of the net asset value used for the payout.
- October 22, 2026: remaining shareholders paid that net asset value in cash.
A spot DOGE fund closing after less than a year is one sign of how little demand there was for regulated DOGE funds in 2026.
Dogecoin Labs formed (October 21–22)
A House of Doge release dated October 22, 2026 announced Dogecoin Labs. It is an independent company formed in partnership with the Dogecoin Foundation and brings together three products:
- MyDoge, a wallet app
- DogeOS, an EVM-compatible application layer that adds smart contracts
- Such App
Jordan Jefferson is CEO. The Dogecoin Foundation named Dogecoin Labs its official commercial partner. It also replaced its earlier exclusive commercial agreement with House of Doge with a new long-term licence. House of Doge will contribute product, engineering and commercial operations in exchange for an equity stake. The size of the stake was not disclosed. The release lists "satisfying applicable closing conditions and closing the transactions" among its forward-looking items, so the deal was not complete when it was announced.
Price on October 25
CoinGecko lists DOGE at $0.0767 on October 25, 2026. That is a market capitalisation of about $12.0 billion and rank 12. The price is down 2.8% over seven days and 19.7% over 30 days, and about 15% below the September 8 level.
Supply: why the price needs new demand to hold
Dogecoin has no maximum supply. The project's own documentation describes "a fixed yearly issuance of 5 billion coins." CoinGecko shows about 156.5 billion DOGE in circulation on October 25, 2026, so new issuance adds roughly 3.2% to supply per year. That percentage shrinks slowly as the total supply grows. To hold its price, DOGE needs enough new buying each year to absorb about 5 billion newly issued coins.

All prices here are daily snapshots from two aggregators that differ by a few tenths of a cent, so intraday swings during the week are not shown. Crypto assets are volatile and you can lose your capital.
