Dogecoin is in a strong rally today adding over 54% at $0.12971; the move brought the Doge price to April 2022 levels. The rally for Dogecoin continues for the fifth consecutive day as investors and traders are excited about the acquisition of Twitter (TWTR) by Tesla’s CEO Elon Musk. The bullish momentum is also supported by a strong rise in its daily trading volumes.
DOGE fans hope that the Elon Musk deal might bring cryptocurrencies closer to Twitter. Many traders anticipate that the social media platform might use blockchain to reduce the bots, an issue that had started a legal dispute between Musk and Twitter that almost cancelled the $44 billion deal. Musk wants to stop the bots and spam accounts and promote free speech which may cancel the ban against some Twitter members including former US President Donald Trump’s twitter account. Musk decided on the first day in the office, to lay off four of Twitter’s top executives, which included the CEO, Parag Agrawal.
Binance crypto exchange released earlier this week that owns an equity share in Musk’s $44 billion Twitter deal. The crypto exchange is aiming to be the bridge between social media and blockchain – crypto technology. Binance created a specialized team which will work on providing crypto-based solutions to Twitter.
