    You can buy Dogecoin on Arkham on either the centralized exchange or on Arkham Swap, the decentralized aggregator. 

    To use the CEX, users should register for an Arkham account (and get access to the Arkham Exchange and the Arkham Intel Platform), complete KYC, and deposit fiat to buy Doge.

    If you download Arkham on mobile, you’ll receive a $100 trading fee credit to help you get started with buying DOGE right away [AVAILABLE AT THE TIME OF WRITING].

    On Swap, users should connect their compatible Web3 wallet to trade peer-to-peer. 

    How to Buy on Arkham Exchange (CEX)

    The Arkham Exchange is a centralized platform for fast and secure trading. It offers both Spot trading for immediate ownership and Perpetual Futures for advanced strategies and speculation on price action.

    • Step 1: Log in to your account at arkm.com.
    • Step 2: Ensure you have deposited USDT into your Arkham wallet.
    • Step 3: Navigate to the Spot or Perps market and search for DOGE/USDT.
    • Step 4: Enter the amount you want to buy. Click Buy DOGE. Your tokens will appear in your exchange balance, immediately if you place a Market Order, or at the price specified if you place a Limit Order.

    How to Buy on Arkham Swap (DEX)

    If you prefer to keep control of your own keys, you can use Arkham Swap. This is a decentralized aggregator. It finds the best price for you across multiple chains and liquidity pools.

    • Step 1: Go to the Swap page on arkm.com
    • Step 2: Connect your Web3 wallet, such as MetaMask or Phantom.
    • Step 3: Select the network you are using. For Dogecoin, choose the BNB network. You will need to have tokens on Binance to complete this.
    • Step 4: Select Dogecoin as the token you want to receive.
    • Step 5: Review the quote to check the fees and slippage. Click Swap and confirm the transaction in your wallet.

    What is Dogecoin?

    Dogecoin was created in 2013 by software engineers Billy Markus and Jackson Palmer. It was originally built as a joke to satirize the wild speculation in the early crypto market. Despite its humorous origins, it was designed to be a peer-to-peer digital currency that could reach a much broader audience than Bitcoin.

    Here are some key stats as of February 2026:

    • Market Cap: ~$17 Billion
    • Circulating Supply: ~168 billion
    • Max Supply: ~168 billion (roughly 5 billion new DOGE are added per year)
    • Network: Dogecoin Network (Layer-1)

    These stats keep evolving as Crypto markets are volatile. For up to date data, see the Arkham Intel DOGE token page.

    Knowing the supply and market cap helps you understand the token's current value. Since DOGE has an unlimited supply, it is considered an inflationary asset, unlike the capped supply of Bitcoin.

    How to Find Information on the Arkham Intel Platform

    The Arkham Intel Platform gives you a clear overview of any token. It allows you to see what the big players are doing with their DOGE. To research Dogecoin, follow these steps:

    1. Search: Go to the Arkham Intel Platform. Type Dogecoin or its ticker $DOGE into the search bar.
    2. Token Page: Click on the result to see the dedicated Dogecoin page. Here, you can view live price charts and real-time transaction logs.
    3. Top Holders: Scroll down to the "Top Holders" list. This shows you which whales, funds, or exchanges own the most supply.
    4. Flows: Use the "Exchange Flows" tool. This helps you see if users are moving DOGE onto exchanges to sell or moving it to private wallets to hold.
