What’s Behind The Dogecoin Trend That Even Celebs and CEOs Can’t Ignore?

Phemex Lists DOGE Contracts, 1,000,000 DOGE Giveaway To Celebrate
The soaring interest and recurring requests from users prompted Phemex to respond by listing DOGE/USD contracts with up to 20x leverage at the start of March. A DOGE/USDT spot trading pair was also added later in the month.
The plan was to launch a giveaway coinciding with the debut of the contract, offering an impressive 1,000,000 DOGE to the first 5,000 new users to register to the Phemex advanced trading platform between March 1 and March 15.
