Dogecoin price has seen a notable surge over the past week, largely influenced by endorsements from Elon Musk. The spike in value coincides with Muskās active participation in the U.S. political scene, particularly his support for Donald Trumpās presidential campaign. Musk posted a picture of him, Trump, and the Shiba Inu dog with the D.O.G.E initials, sparking market rally amid investor excitements and speculations.
Elon Musk Ignites Market Surge in Dogecoin Price Amid Political Buzz
In a recent post on X platform, Elon Musk shared an image that has stirred considerable attention in the crypto community. The post, which featured the acronym D.O.G.E along with imagery associated with Dogecoin, has contributed to the cryptoās rapid price increase. This movement is a strategic enhancement of Muskās visibility in both the technological and political arenas.
More so, the inclusion of President Donald Trump and the Shiba Inu dog in Muskās post suggests a symbolic endorsement of Dogecoinās ethos and its potential role in political narratives. Most recently Elon Musk named āDogeā the mascot for his DOGE department role.
As Dogecoin price continues to experience volatility, the impact of such high-profile endorsements cannot be underestimated. Analysts observe that Muskās continued public support could sustain or even increase the trading momentum of Dogecoin.
Donald Trump Vows to Appoint Elon Musk as National Cost Cutter
The timing of Muskās Dogecoin endorsement coincides with a flurry of political activity. Donald Trump, during recent Michigan rally, highlighted his intention to appoint Musk as a key figure in government efficiency, focusing on cost-cutting measures.Ā
This appointment is part of Trumpās strategy to integrate successful business figures into his administration to drive economic reform. Additionally, this has added layers of speculative interest around Muskās ventures, including his involvement with cryptocurrencies.
Moreover, Trumpās criticisms of Vice President Kamala Harrisās immigration policies came amid her visit to the US-Mexico border. Concurrently, the criticism was shared across by many key public figures such as Robert Kiyosaki and Elon. The Tesla CEO called Kamala Harrisās border policies as deceptive and huge lies.
In addition, towards the end of the week, the term āDogefatherā resurfaced, further sparking DOGE price rally. This nickname, which Musk has embraced, is directly linked to him in the context of his advocacy for Dogecoin.Ā
At the time of writing, Dogecoin price is at $0.1242, reflecting a 16.98% increase over the past seven days. The cryptocurrencyās market capitalization now stands at approximately $18.57 billion, securing its position as the eighth largest by market cap.
