DOGE Price Soars As Elon Musk Completes Twitter Deal

It is worth noting that these massive Dogecoin transactions come at a time when the value of the cryptocurrency is having an interesting rally. DOGE’s price is fueled by news of Elon Musk’s Twitter takeover. The world’s richest man, a Dogecoin proponent, recently completed a $44 billion deal to acquire the social media platform.

CNN reported that after the deal’s completion, Musk fired former Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal and two other executives. The move is part of Musk’s eventual effort to become Twitter’s CEO. With Musk at the helm of Twitter’s affairs, the crypto community expects him to provide support for Dogecoin across multiple features of the social media platform.

Musk confirmed yesterday that Twitter would monetize and compensate content creators. Once the service is live, Dogecoin could be added to the list of supported payment methods people can adopt to receive their rewards.

DOGE Surpasses Solana to Become Ninth Biggest Crypto

Meanwhile, this speculation has continued to fuel the price of Dogecoin. Earlier today, DOGE spiked to a high of $0.085. At press time, DOGE has retraced a bit and is currently changing hands at $0.083, according to Coingecko data. The cryptocurrency is still up 10% at press time, with a 24-hours trade volume of $3.7 billion.

The impressive rally of Dogecoin helped the token to achieve an impressive milestone a few hours ago. Dogecoin surpassed Solana (SOL) to become the ninth-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization. The market cap of DOGE is currently sitting around $11.38 billion, while Solana’s market cap is worth $11.08 billion at the time of writing.
