Wormhole connects Dogecoin to Solana via Sunrise project
Dogecoin (DOGE) is now accessible on Solana via Wormhole's Native Token Transfers (NTT) framework and Sunrise liquidity gateway, preserving its original properties. The integration, live since May 23, 2025, covers DOGE's $35B circulating supply. Sunrise, launched November 23, 2025, unifies liquidity for cross-chain assets. This move aims to boost Solana's liquidity and expand DOGE's DeFi opportunities, though risks include potential protocol issues.
