Following the announcement of a new “Payments” account by Elon Musk, Dogecoin (Doge) pumping rapidly 

Dogecoin (Doge) has witnessed a significant pump in its trade price, as the speculations around crypto & non-crypto payment services on Elon Musk’s company X surged. 

In early this month, X (formerly Twitter) announced the plan to launch P2P payment services for the X users, as a part of Musk’s dream to create an “everything app”. 

X’s announcement on the upcoming payment service failed to mention anything related to crypto payment or Dogecoin (Doge), a popular meme coin backed by Elon Musk. 

On 21 Jan 2024, X created & launched a new X account “Payments”.

The majority of people are speculating that soon Elon Musk or his company X will pass a comment regarding Dogecoin or Doge payment.

Following all these speculations, Dogecoin is trending at the top on the X platform.

All these types of speculations helped the Dogecoin trade price to gain an increment of 10% within a few hours. The current trade price of Doge is $0.086 & this trade price is 10.5% higher than the last 24 hours’ trade price.
