About Dogecoin

Dogecoin is a decentralized (peer-to-peer) cryptocurrency that utilizes the DOGE meme, featuring a Shiba Inu dog as a mascot. At first, this crypto meme coin was started as a parody, aiming to be a fun and accessible digital currency. But soon, it amassed a vast and devoted community that pushed this coin beyond its intended purpose as a mere joke. Today, DOGE has become a cultural phenomenon, transcending its initial purpose and turning into a recognized and traded asset.

What can I do with DOGE?

DOGE has a real-world utility, meaning that you can use this cryptocurrency to pay for goods and services, just as with any other fiat currency.  

The most intuitive way to spend DOGE is through our Crypto Debit Card. This card lets you seamlessly spend DOGE, as well as other vetted assets, for in-store and online purchases like regular debit/credit cards. Our crypto card is currently available only to European Economic Area (EEA) members. 

Another way to utilize DOGE is by trading it at Spot Trading. You can trade DOGE against other crypto and fiat currencies and potentially take advantage of different market swings. The available trading pairs are: 

• DOGE to USD
• DOGE to BTC
• DOGE to EUR
• DOGE to USDT
• DOGE to USDC

Alternatively, you can utilize our Margin Trading (subject to eligibility) to leverage your position and potentially amplify gains (but also losses). 

Beyond trading, interesting parties can participate in our Crypto Savings program. This service allows eligible customers to allocate a portion of their DOGE holdings to potentially earn up to 5% annual crypto rewards. 

Remember that the path you choose should be according to your experience level, personal research, and careful risk assessment. Cryptocurrencies can be volatile, which can carry inherent risks to your balance. We encourage users to conduct thorough research before participating in any service offered by CEX.IO.
