Is Dogecoin Set to Reach $0.3 After Surpassing its 2021 Previous High of $0.2?
Dogecoin, the digital currency that originated from a meme, experienced a significant surge of 40%, reaching its highest value since 2021 at $0.22. This surge can be attributed to speculation surrounding its potential use on platforms owned by Elon Musk.
In addition to the surge in value, Dogecoin’s market cap also skyrocketed to $31 billion, surpassing Cardano, and now has its sights set on overtaking XRP to secure the sixth position.
Investors are closely monitoring Dogecoin’s surge, which has seen a 10% increase in the past 24 hours alone. This surge is fueled by optimistic market sentiment and the speculation that Dogecoin could be integrated as a payment option in Elon Musk’s companies such as X or Tesla.
Recently, a member of the X team hinted that “2024 will be the year of X Payments,” igniting excitement within the crypto community and raising the possibility of Dogecoin becoming a payment option on the platform. This aligns with X’s recent acquisition of licenses for money transmitter activities in multiple U.S. states.
Given Elon Musk’s fondness for Dogecoin, the idea of integrating it into platforms like X for content monetization or donations seems increasingly plausible.
With its impressive price surge, Dogecoin now boasts a market cap of $31.07 billion, making it the eighth-largest asset by market capitalization. The next target for Dogecoin is to surpass XRP, which currently holds the sixth position with a market cap of $34 billion. However, Dogecoin must first overtake USDC, which currently holds a valuation of $32.2 billion. To surpass XRP’s market cap, Dogecoin’s price would need to surge to the $0.2366 price level.
Furthermore, Dogecoin’s recent breakout indicates the end of its macro downtrend and the beginning of a new macro uptrend phase. Reaching a monthly close above $0.20 could potentially pave the way for Dogecoin to reach the $0.3 price level.
The popularity of Dogecoin within the cryptocurrency sector is steadily increasing, as evidenced by the surge in transaction volumes from 1.22 billion to 9.20 billion within 48 hours. This surge in popularity is fueling optimism among investors.
