- Litecoin surprises with meme support for Dogecoin, sparking market buzz.
- Dogecoin price jumps as whales accumulate massive holdings this week.
- Meme culture fuels Litecoin’s visibility alongside strong payment adoption.
According to its official X account, Litecoin has stirred the crypto space with a Q*bert-inspired meme declaring “I’m here for you, dogecoin.” The playful post quickly caught the attention of Dogecoin supporters, who viewed it as a public show of solidarity between the two assets.
The two cryptocurrencies share more than just social media interactions. Dogecoin is an adaptation of Litecoin based on the Scrypt code and has the security system of Litecoin due to merge-mining.
Lighthearted exchanges between their communities are not a new phenomenon. In November of last year, Litecoin also announced itself as a memecoin, which led to a cascade effect of Dogecoin support on LTC and a 15 percent short-lived spike in LTC price.
Users of Dogecoin would subsequently suggest a chibi-styled Litecoin mascot, which was subsequently misused in a Solana-based token project named LESTER. Litecoin explained that it had nothing to do with that project.

Meme-Driven Engagement Coincides With Growing Transaction Milestones
Litecoin’s embrace of meme culture is part of a strategy to strengthen its presence in a crowded cryptocurrency market. Despite the humor, the network remains a leader in crypto payments.
In January 2025, Litecoin performed its 300 millionth transaction, which also verifies its stable development in terms of adoption. Recent statistics from CoinGate rank it as the second most used cryptocurrency for payments, just behind Bitcoin.
It is fast and charges minimal fees to carry out transactions, which remains a strong point for its merchants and users. The combination of sound fundamentals and the interesting community interface could be the power behind its favorability.
Dogecoin is also showing momentum of late, with its price rising an average of 8.5 percent in the last seven days due to intense whale activity.
Whales bought more than 230 million DOGE within a day, as reported by crypto analyst Ali Martinez. Barely five days ago, over one billion DOGE had exchanged hands in a single session.
The trend of increasing popularity in using Dogecoin as a mode of payment is backed by the slowly decreasing inflation rate. Its advocates think this would enable it to become a mainstream digital currency in addition to its meme appeal.
Conclusion
Litecoin’s meme shoutout to Dogecoin not only tapped into shared community roots but also came as both cryptocurrencies enjoyed growing transaction activity and investor attention.
