Dogecoin (CRYPTO: DOGE) holders fared well even as the FTX (CRYPTO: FTT) contagion spread, sending shockwaves through the overall crypto market.

What Happened: According to data from CoinMarketCap, over 62% of Dogecoin holders still remain profitable. 

DOGE was trading at $0.10, up 21% in the last seven days, at the time of writing. The rise can be attributed to speculations that Elon Musk-led Twitter is about to launch a payment service that would accept DOGE.
