Coinbase Global Inc., the largest public digital-asset exchange in the US, is trailing behind meme cryptocurrency Dogecoin in terms of market value.

The exchange now has about $8 billion in market capitalization while the value of Dogecoin — originally created as a joke in 2013 — is topping $9 billion. The measurement does not necessarily reflect the intrinsic worth of those projects, but it may show how a meme coin can outperform the shares of a major US-based exchange amid a highly volatile market.
