Dogecoin Founder Releases Last Three Of Dreaming Doge NFT Series On OpenSea

Billy Markus, the co-creator of Dogecoin, announced last week that the last three NFTs of the Dreaming Doge series have been released and are up for sale on OpenSea.

Dogecoin, although still considered a meme coin, is among the top cryptocurrencies and was founded by software programmers Markus and Jackson Palmer in December 2013 as a "joke." It is also widely regarded as the first meme coin. Despite its origin as a joke, Dogecoin has become a legitimate investment prospect for many and enjoys the support of Tesla founder Elon Musk.

In recent times, alongside the boom in the NFT markets, Doge-related NFTs have also risen in value. One of the first Doge NFTs, depicting the original 2013 doge meme starring the Shiba Inu dog, reached a market capitalization of $336 million in September 2021.

Markus left the Dogecoin project in 2015 but has stayed active on Twitter where he goes by the handle Shibatoshi Nakamoto. Recently he created a series called the Dreaming Doge NFT, which launched on OpenSea.

According to the official OpenSea page of Dreaming Doge, the NFT series is a collection of pixelated doge art dedicated to peace and prosperity. Eight different types of Dreaming Doges will be released, each in an edition of eighty-eight. The last three NFTs of the first edition were released last week.

The floor price of each NFT was 0.75 ETH and the total volume traded so far has been 470 ETH. Dreaming Doge #4 was sold for the highest price, 1.9 ETH. Dreaming Doge #1 has been the most favorited NFT on the platform so far. Ethereum was trading at $3,074.96 at 3.51 a.m. ET on Monday, Coinmarketcap data showed.

Dogecoin was trading at $0.1563, having risen about 6% in the preceding 24-hour period.
