The Dogecoin (DOGE) cryptocurrency, which is often praised by Elon Musk, has once again demonstrated stunning performance.

Recall that in May, the coin reached $ 0.73, but then it fell by almost 78%.

2021 was a turbulent year for Dogecoin.

After the winter and spring breakthroughs in June-July, the market mostly stagnated, and DOGE traded in a narrow range along with Bitcoin and other digital currencies. The ascent resumed in early August.

Altcoin Cardano (ADA) also demonstrates stable growth rates. On Thursday, August 12, this cryptocurrency is trading in the $ 1.76 area.

During the week, its cost increased by more than 30%. The strengthening of the course is observed in anticipation of the launch of smart contracts on the Cardano network.
