Investors’ interest in the meme coin arose after the CEO of Tesla confirmed that his company Tesla would accept Dogecoin as a legal payment method for some of its merchandise.
On January 14, Elon Musk posted the following tweet: “Tesla merch buyable with Dogecoin.”
This announcement induced a mixed reaction from the crypto community, with bitcoin supporters criticizing his continued support of the waggish Dogecoin.
One of the popular crypto accounts with 424K followers replied to Musk’s tweet and said: “Doge now has more institutional adoption than Bitcoin.”
Following the acceptance of Dogecoin by Tesla, Elon also urged McDonald to accept Dogecoin as payment.
At the press time, DOGE is trading at $0.1429 per coin, up 1.48% for the day. Dogecoin is currently ranked as the 11th biggest cryptocurrency globally by CoinMarketCap (CMC), as its market capitalization stands at $19,015,073,549.
Looking at the 24-hour volume, we see no change compared to the previous session and stand at $417,567,987.53.
