Dogwifhat (WIF) has had a wild ride since its inception, skyrocketing by approximately 20,000% in a relatively short time. On Jan. 18, 2024, Dogwifhat (WIF) reached an all-time high of $0.4625.

Much of the token’s memetic value stems from its association with an image of a dog wearing a hat, as well as the “wif hat” slang that has spread and flourished in crypto circles.

Dogwifhat has fallen from its recent highs after early investors took profits on their large gains, including those who made millions of dollars from a small initial investment.

The falls continued until press time, with WIF dropping 10.2% in the last 24 hours to $0.2234. The current price is 51.64% lower than the all-time high. Furthermore, the current price is 14,287.04% higher than the all-time low of $0.001555 set on Dec. 13, 2023.
