Dogecoin could be regulated as security soon

Cramer is a known critic of cryptocurrencies, confessing that they are “gambling on crowd psychology.”
The Mad Money host urged investors and traders to be cautious when trading the Shiba-Inu-themed cryptocurrency. Cramer tweeted about Dogecoin:
please be careful with Dogecoin...It is a security. It will be regulated. We will find out how many there are and how many are being created each day to make money for the exchanges.

Billy Markus, the co-founder of the Shiba-Inu-themed cryptocurrency Dogecoin, responded to Cramer’s thoughts on the memecoin.
bro, please learn how blockchain works. it’s already well known how many there are and how many are created everyday. it is in the public code on the public blockchain, easily viewable by anyone.

Markus asked Cramer to learn about Dogecoin and the way the blockchain works. Dogecoin does not qualify the Howey Test, the U.S. Supreme Court case, to determine whether a transaction qualifies as an investment contract. The proof-of-work memecoin is a cryptocurrency similar to Bitcoin.
Markus explains that Dogecoin is not a security; it is a cryptocurrency like Bitcoin. Historically, Cramer has criticized Dogecoin, even at its peak in April 2021.
Analysts have evaluated the Dogecoin price trend and predicted a trend reversal. @RAFAELA_RIGO_, a crypto analyst and trader, believes that Dogecoin price could hold support at $0.16 and bounce back, starting an uptrend.
