Dogecoin (DOGE) rallied 5.4% in 24 hours, Why?

Dogecoin (DOGE), the original memecoin, witnessed a 5.4% gain in the 24-hour charts. The popular canine-themed crypto slumped over the last few weeks. Before reaching a peak of $0.10 on December 5, DOGE was trading at about $0.08 on November 23. However, it is undergoing correction at press time.

Moreover, Elon Musk’s announcement that he will step down as Twitter’s boss had additional effects on Dogecoin. Many were worried that the plan to incorporate DOGE into Twitter was off the table with Musk’s exit. However, there is no official word on this front.

Why is Dogecoin rallying?

DOGE’s latest 5.4% gain comes hot on the heels of a new exchange listing. Yesterday, the popular crypto exchange Bitstamp announced that its had listed the popular memecoin. New listings usually mean more investors have access to the token. The rally could be a reaction to Bitstamp’s inclusion of DOGE.

DOGE’s rally also coincides with the token’s social engagement witnessing a slight spike. According to the data on LunarCrush, Dogecoin’s social engagement jumped by 3.8%, while social mentions increased by 0.4%. Being a memecoin, DOGE relies a lot on social media hype.

Furthermore, Musk recently said that he might appear on Twitter space with the Doge community during Christmas. The news got the Doge community ecstatic, as Musk is one of the biggest DOGE proponents.

Regardless of DOGE’s failing performance, the token continued to be popular among crypto investors. A recent report by Coinswitch highlighted that Dogecoin was the third highest-held crypto among Indian investors, behind BTC and ETH.

At press time, DOGE was trading at $0.077969, down 7.8% in the last week, and down by 20.8% in the last 14 days. Moreover, the token is down by 89.3% from its all-time high of $0.731578, attained on May 8th, 2021.

Bitcoin miner CleanSpark has begun the second phase of operations at its mining campus in Washington, a city in the U.S. state of Georgia, reaching 8.0 exahashes per second (EH/s), halfway to its year-end target of 16 EH/s.  The second phase saw an investment of nearly $55 million in the site, including construction, infrastructure and machines. The facility , bought in August 2022 for $25.1 million, had 15,000 mining machines with a power capacity of 50 megawatts (MW).

Tether bitcoin mine branded 'fake' after X users spot edited logos

Image
A recent tweet from Tether CTO Paolo Ardoino in which he claims work on one of the company’s new sustainable bitcoin mining projects is “coming along well” has given rise to a curious new conspiracy theory. The tweet featured what at first glance looked to be an innocuous image of a number of shipping containers that had apparently been converted hold crypto miners. However, it didn’t take eagle-eyed viewers long to spot that something wasn’t quite right — namely that the Tether logos on the side of the containers looked Photoshopped. This led to speculation that not only were the logos fake, but the site itself was a fabrication .
