Musk-Dogecoin Relations

This is not the first time Musk’s actions have influenced Dogecoin’s market performance.

Since 2021, his social media posts and public statements about the cryptocurrency have frequently corresponded with significant price movements.

Dogecoin, created in 2013 as a satirical response to Bitcoin, has maintained its position among the top 10 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization despite its humorous origins.

The cryptocurrency’s price movements highlight the continuing impact of public figures and institutional adoption on digital asset valuations.
