Dogecoin Knockoff Named After Elon Musk Briefly Joined Top 10 Most Purchased Coins By Ethereum Whales

Dogelon Mars (CRYPTO: ELON) — a Dogecoin (CRYPTO: DOGE) knockoff — has fallen back after a brief stint among the ten most-purchased cryptocurrencies by Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH) whales.

 What Happened: Dogelon Mars was among the top-ten most purchased cryptocurrencies by the 1,000 biggest Ethereum whales, cryptocurrency data platform WhaleStats said in a tweet earlier on Wednesday.

However, the coin has since slipped and does not find a place among the ten most-purchased tokens by the Ethereum whales as at press time, according to WhaleStats data.

The 1,000 largest Ethereum wallets are worth an average of $158.17 million and have an average of 40,458 ETH, 36 tokens and one non-fungible token (NFT).
