Dogecoin is approaching its first birthday and in that time we have seen a rapidly growing economy and market place that now has over 200 business accepting dogcoin for goods and services. Now that PayPal has begun to accept Dogecoin through GoCoin for its thousands of potential merchants it can now be seen as a viable altenative to bitcoin.

Importantly, last month the developers of Dogecoin implemented AuxPoW with Litecoin and now that its security is assured investors are starting to buy Dogecoin in large quantities. This has seen its price increase 300% in a month with a daily trade volume of atleast $1 milllion for the past 3 weeks. This is business that can't be ignored by the top exchanges for much longer from a financial point of view. Dogecoin proudly sits in 5th position in market cap of all crypto-currencies and has never been outside the top 10. On top of that we are seeing more and more ATMs around the world that exchange Dogecoin aswell as Bitcoin and Litecoin and so better exchange liquidity is needed to fulfill demand. A further look into the numbers behind dogecoin will show its even more positive. Just looking at Coingecko you will see that Dogecoin is the number 1 altcoin with over 87000 reddit users, 162000 twitter followers, 64000 facebook likes, a very active development team (1000+ github stars) and high exchange liquidity. In China there are thousands of QQ groups devoted to dogecoin and countless others on Sina Weibo. 

With increasing maturity the fundementals behind Dogecoin are looking much more positive and now is the ideal time for you large exchanges to list it and gain more business in this burgeoning crypto-marketplace.
