DOGE Price Gains 7%
Dogecoin is unfazed by the recent broader crypto selloff after a volatile price uptrend in the market. DOGE price currently trades at $0.1247, up 7% in the last 24 hours and 22% in a month. Trading volume also saw a more than 50% increase in the last 24 hours.
The strong momentum comes amid Elon Musk’s support for Donald Trump and rising hopes for the proposed Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Trump promised Musk a key position if he wins the presidential election, fueling DOGE to $1 speculation.
Meanwhile, Musk’s Tesla moved all Bitcoin holdings worth $760 million from its public wallet, marking its first BTC transactions in two years. A plausible explanation is for security purposes and spread them across several cold wallets.
