The price of joke-turned-serious cryptocurrency Dogecoin is on the up after weeks of its investors taking losses. Elon Musk’s favorite coin was today trading at $0.23—up over 20% in the past 24 hours, as per CoinGecko data.
Dogecoin, which was invented in 2013 as a joke but now is the sixth biggest crypto with a market cap of over $30 billion, had taken a real beating. It had high hopes after a Coinbase listing earlier this month but, along with other altcoinsaltcoins, continued to shed value, dropping 15% in one night this week.
But today, with the rest of the market, it seems to be making a comeback: it is the best performing altcoin in the past 24 hours—and by a large margin. Ethereum, for example, is today up only 3%, still trading under $2,000. Bitcoin, meanwhile, is up 2.5% and back above $33,000.
Nevertheless, Dogecoin is still well under the all-time high of $0.73 it briefly hit last month ahead of Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s Saturday Night Live appearance.
Musk, who frequently talks about cryptocurrency on Twitter, is partly responsible for the rise of the meme coin. The tech entrepreneur has influenced the coin’s wild price swings by pumping it on the social media platform with light-hearted tweets.
Dogecoin was created in 2013 by developers who wanted to make fun of Bitcoin. Based on a popular internet dog meme, the coin was practically worthless over a year ago. It’s currently up nearly 10,000% in the past year.
Some have even made serious money from the project. One man, Glauber Contessoto, made headlines when he became a millionaire from investing all his savings in the asset. (That millionaire status has since been lost as he refused to cash out.)
It was almost midnight in London on a quiet Thursday last week. Software engineer and part-time Dogecoin developer Ross Nicoll was getting into his pajamas, ready for bed, when his message feed suddenly blazed into life. Elon Musk, arguably the most influential man on Twitter (certainly on Crypto Twitter) had tweeted about Nicoll and the three other core developers responsible for the Dogecoin blockchain. "Working with Doge devs to improve system transaction efficiency," the Tesla and SpaceX ch...
One of the developers behind Dogecoin, Ross Nicoll, said in an exclusive interview with Decrypt last month that the development team is now working on making the coin a Bitcoin rival. They hope it will be quicker, cheaper and more environmentally friendly.

Major altcoins have dropped after U.S. President Donald Trump stirred up trade tensions by threatening tariffs once again, while the controversial “Big, Beautiful Bill” passed its final hurdle in Congress on Thursday—much to the dismay of Tesla CEO Elon Musk. XRP has dropped 2.8% over the past 24 hours, with Solana falling 2.6%, and Cardano 4%. Fan favorite Dogecoin has also tumbled by 4% and Hyperliquid 4.7%. “President Donald Trump signaled that new tariff notices could be issued as early as...
The crypto market is showing relative calm Thursday, with top assets mostly flat on the day as traders digest positive macro news and consider where to allocate their positions. Bitcoin gained 0.4% in the past 24 hours, trading near $109,800 after briefly reaching a daily high of $110,590, according to CoinGecko. Ethereum also climbed above $2,590, though traders remain uncertain about its direction as prices continue to move sideways. Almost all of the top 100 coins have posted single-digit mov...
Crypto asset manager Grayscale called the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's decision to halt the release of its Digital Large Cap Fund "unexpected" in an email to Decrypt Thursday. The firm said that the Wednesday decision by the regulator—which surprised industry observers—was evidence of a changing regulatory landscape. "While this development was unexpected, it reflects the dynamic and evolving nature of the regulatory landscape surrounding a first-of-its-kind digital asset product...
