Dogecoin’s recent rise

While it’s sometimes hard to tell whether the Doge Army tweets are in earnest or jumping on the meme train, the support of the token has led to an incredible rise of the cryptocurrency’s price. Over the past month, Dogecoin’s value has increased by almost 600%, tagging an all-time high in the last week. With advocacy from the likes of Elon Musk, Snoop Dogg and Mark Cuban, investors have flooded to the market to get in on the token. The cryptocurrency market might have seen a slight price correction over the weekend, but Dogecoin’s trend today might send it to reach new record highs once more. Dogecoin fans are holding hopes that the meme cryptocurrency will hit $1 USD today on the day of the Doge.
