One is the completion of the DOGE-ETH bridge and the other is for non fungible token platforms like OpenSea allowing for the DOGE-ETH token to be used for purchases.

Two things I believe would help Dogecoin:

1) Completion of DOGE-ETH bridge
2) NFT platforms (e.g. Opensea) allowing for the DOGE-ETH token to be used for purchases

NFTs purchasing is high demand with crypto. Allowing for DOGE purchases of NFTs greatly increases its utility.

“NFTs purchasing is high demand with crypto. Allowing for DOGE purchases of NFTs greatly increases its utility,” wrote Markus.

Earlier in the year, Buterin said that he loves DOGE and suggested a bridge between DOGE and ETH in order to ramp up the transaction speed of the former.

Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) CEO Elon Musk has also voiced his support for the bridge between the two cryptocurrencies.

Oscar Guindzberg, a developer involved in the bridge project, told Benzinga that the released date is “yet not established.” A working prototype is in progress, as per Guindzberg.

Price Action: At press time, over 24 hours, DOGE traded 1.16% higher at $0.20 while ETH traded 2.06% higher at $3,022.05.
