Dogecoin (DOGE) is up 7.7% over the past 24 hours, trading above its three-week high of $0.103 on Tuesday morning, according to data from CoinGecko.

The industry’s first and largest meme coin now boasts a market capitalization of over $14 billion—a hefty increase of roughly $1.5 billion since yesterday—and is also the best-performing digital asset among the top 10 largest cryptocurrencies on the day.

The latest price action comes in the wake of DOGE surging over 22.5% in a week’s time on Monday, most likely spurred by ongoing—yet unconfirmed—speculations that the meme coin could become part of Twitter’s potential plans for rolling out its own payment system.
