Dogecoin payment share declines? The DOGE ecosystem dilemma seen from food truck applications

【Crypto World】An interesting application case has emerged in the Dogecoin ecosystem—the official account shared a story about a seaside food truck that accepts Dogecoin for payment of ice cream and hot dogs, with users commenting that this embodies “true fun and the spirit of freedom.”

It sounds wonderful, but the data tells the real story.

BitPay’s global crypto payment statistics are a bit sobering: Dogecoin’s payment share is declining. In May, it was stable at 6.19%, but by October, it had dropped to 4.61%. In just a few months, the market share has shrunk by nearly a quarter.

The price side is also not optimistic. Although Dogecoin recently rebounded by 6.02%, with the price reaching $0.2067, these gains haven’t significantly helped its annual performance. In the context of all of 2025, Dogecoin is actually the worst performer among the top ten cryptocurrencies, having halved since the beginning of the year—down 58%.

This contrast is a bit ironic. The application is active, enthusiasm is there, but market performance and the payment ecosystem are weakening.
