Dogecoin and the ‘Dogecoin killer’ shed value in the last 24 hours as the majority of the cryptocurrency market stabilised.

The latter, SHIBA INU (SHIB), had rocketed past its parent coin in recent days in terms of market cap.

However a second consecutive day of freefall – shedding 12% – saw it drop below DOGE and stablecoin USDC and out of the top 10 cryptos.

At the time of writing (7am UK), Ethereum-based spinoff SHIB is 17% down in a week.

DOGE, meanwhile, lost 1% and is now below 27 cents, which puts it 9% down over seven days.

Solana (SOL) gained 6% to sit at $241 and is a massive 28% up in a week.

Polkadot (DOT) performed well for a third consecutive day, surging another 5% to close on $54. That leaves it a huge 30% up over seven days.

Ethereum (ETH), the world’s second most valuable crypto, remained around its record valuation and is worth $4,571 at the time of writing.  The smart contract blockchain platform is 13% up over seven days.
