Dogecoin Price Prediction: 90 Percent Issuance Cut

A proposal has been sitting on GitHub for weeks that would touch the monetary policy of Dogecoin for the first time in eleven years: the reward per block would fall from 10,000 to 1,000 DOGE. That would cut annual new issuance from around 5.3 billion to around 526 million coins, and the inflation rate from about 3.4 percent to about 0.3 percent. None of it has been decided. For any price forecast it is still the most important open question, because it concerns the supply side rather than sentiment.

DOGE traded at $0.093058, or 0.081779 euros, on September 28, 2026 at 06:43 UTC (source: CoinGecko, own retrieval). That is 3.87 percent below the level of 24 hours earlier, 5.75 percent above the level of seven days ago and 9.65 percent above the level of 30 days ago. Market capitalisation stands at $14.53 billion, turnover over the past 24 hours at $1.02 billion.

Proposal 3776: What Would Change in Dogecoin's Monetary Policy

The proposal is filed as issue 3776 in the official Dogecoin repository. It would lower the block reward from 10,000 DOGE to 1,000 DOGE, a cut of 90 percent. The authors argue for a more conservative issuance model that better protects the long-term value of the network.
