What is Dogecoin (DOGE)?
Dogecoin (code: DOGE) is a cryptocurrency created by software engineers Billy Markus and Jackson Palmer, who decided to create a payment system as a joke, making fun of the wild speculation in cryptocurrencies at the time. Dogecoin features the face of the Shiba Inu dog from the “Doge” meme as its logo and namesake. It was introduced on December 6, 2013, and quickly developed its own online community, reaching a market capitalization of US$85,314,347,523 on May 5, 2021.
Wikipedia
Dogecoin became famous because of an investment by Elon Musk.
As you may know, Elon Musk is an American entrepreneur and the founder of Tesla, an electric car company, and SpaceX, a space rocket company. He is also famous for being the model for the movie “Iron Man”.
In January 2021, Elon Musk announced that he was investing in Dogecoin.
Since then, Dogecoin has increased its price by 800% in 24 hours.
From there, the price of Dogecoin has continued to rise.
There are a total of 15 cryptocurrencies that can be traded on iFOREX.
At iFOREX, you can trade a total of 15 virtual currencies / 17 pairs, including Dogecoin.
In addition to famous cryptocurrencies and altcoins such as Bitcoin, Ethereum and Bitcoin Cash, recently Cardano (Ada), Polka Dot and Iota have been added.
One of the most recent additions is Dogecoin.

| Bitcoin | Bitcoin/USD | 1:13.3 |
| Ethereum | Ethereum/USD | 1:10 |
| Ripple | Ripple/USD | 1:5 |
| Bitcoin Cash | Bitcoin Cash/USD | 1:10 |
| Litecoin | Litecoin/USD | 1:10 |

There are other forex brokers that allow cryptocurrencies to be traded.
One of the most famous is FXGT, which allows you to trade in cryptocurrencies with a high leverage of 500x.
iFOREX’s crypto trading has a maximum leverage of 13.3 times for bitcoin and 10 times for Dogecoin.
This is a more conservative leverage than FXGT, but it features many minor crypto pairs, including Dogecoin.
For more information about forex brokers that allow cryptocurrency trading, please see the separate article “Best Forex Brokers for Crypto Trading“. It provides a detailed summary of the features, coins handled, and trading conditions of each broker.
Cryptocurrency Trading Conditions
At iFOREX, you can trade cryptocurrencies under the following conditions.
The maximum leverage depends on the coin,
Bitcoin: 1:13.3
Ripple: 1:5
Others: 1:10
Since Ripple has become very volatile since it was sued by the SEC, the maximum leverage has been lowered to reduce the risk for investors.
At iFOREX, currency pairs can be traded at up to 400x, but for cryptocurrencies this is modest.
However, if you can trade Dogecoin with 10x leverage, it is sufficient because the price per unit is small to begin with, unlike bitcoin.

Summary
What did you think?
Recently, the popularity of cryptocurrencies has been on the rise again.
Since cryptocurrencies are highly volatile, short-term trades can be interesting, but I think it is also a good strategy to hold them for a little over the medium to long term, as is the case with Dogecoin.
Please take proper risk measures and effectively increase your assets.
