Last month, Musk’s tweet featuring the social media site’s new logo, originally designed by a DogeDesigner, led to a surge in the value of the original meme cryptocurrency. Additionally, Musk subtly demonstrated his affinity for DOGE by including its symbol in his Twitter bio.
Originally conceived as a joke by a group of engineers in 2013, dogecoin has since evolved into a prominent digital asset, ranking it as the eighth largest in the market.
